"Later ( after 2148), the counts of Holland used The Hague as their administrative centre and residence when in Holland. 'Des Graven Hage' literally means "the count's wood", with connotations like "the count's hedge or private enclosure".



The counts of Holland. Interesting. Related to the Counts of
Flanders??? (And I presume in 1248.)(Cannot be too future-
