timeline
The glory as well as the beginnings of the later town of IJsselstein were created in 1279 through the building of Kasteel IJsselstein by Gijsbrecht van Amstel (also called Gijsbrecht van IJsselstein ). IJsselstein had always been a fiefdom of the county of Holland . IJsselstein, the center of the barony, was granted city rights in 1310 . In 1330 IJsselstein came into the hands of the Egmond family. They completely walled the city around 1390. After various devastations by Egmond's opponents, the Utrecht and the Gelderen , the city was rebuilt at the end of the 15th century. In 1551 the House of Orange-Nassau came into the possession of the Barony IJsselstein, who received it as a fiefdom of the Dutch Count, King Philip II of Spain .
With the Plakkaat van Verlatinghe , the Spanish sovereignty was abolished in 1581 and the Orange were now granted the new sovereignty over IJsselstein themselves. IJsselstein thus became one of the independent glories that lay as enclaves in the territory of the republic and a member of the generational lands . IJsselstein subsequently developed into a place of refuge for criminals from different parts of the Dutch Republic. At the end of the 18th century, the barony and the city developed into a tax haven . In 1795, when the Batavian Republic was proclaimed , all glorious rights were revoked and IJsselstein lost its independence and the status of a barony. In 1798 IJsselstein was incorporated into the newly formed department of van de Delf . The head of the House of Orange-Nassau (the Dutch head of state) has held the (honorary) title of baron (es) van Cranendonck, IJsselstein en Eindhoven since then .
