Dutch nobility is regulated by act of law in the Wet op de adeldom Law Regarding Nobility, passed into law on June 24, 1814 and is overseen by the Hoge Raad van Adel High Council of Nobility , an official state institution of the Kingdom of the Netherlands Before 1814, the history of nobility was separate for each of the Dutch provinces . In the Early Middle Ages , there were, in each province, a number of feudal lords who often were just as powerful, and sometimes more so, than the rulers themselves. In the middle of the fourteenth century, quarrels between the feudal lords reduced many families and castles to ruins, contributing to the Dukes of Burgundy s acquisition by conquest or inheritance of many of the provinces forming the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In 1581, Philip II of Spain , heir of the Dukes of Burgundy, was abjured by representatives of the Seven Provinces . This left a great part of the executive and legislative power to the Ridderschap knight of each province, which consisted of the representatives of those families of the old feudal nobility. In 1798, the Batavian revolution did away with their power. In 1814, if no higher title was recognised, the men only were to bear the hereditary predicate of Jonkheer . Some old feudal families obtained the title of Baron or Baroness for all their descendants, while older nobility, having been granted their titles by either the Holy Roman Emperor s or King of France French Kings long before 1814, held their pre existent titles.
