The rule Putten ( Dutch : "Heerlijkheid Putten", "den lande van Put" or "de vorsche van Put") was an independent rule on and around the former island of Putten in what is now the province of South Holland . According to today's terms, the rule south of Rotterdam was essentially on the eastern half of the island of Voorne-Putten .

The Putten rule initially consisted of:

  • Putten within the Ring (i.e. on the island of Putten): the polder Geervliet, Putten, Spijkenisse, Biervliet, Hekelingen, Braband and Vriesland,
  • Putten over de Maas (meaning north of the Oude Maas ): Poortugaal and its immediate surroundings, as well
  • part of the adjacent Wadden Sea and marshland .

The settlements that developed here are:

  1. Putti within the ring: Geervliet and Biert (districts of Bernisse ), Alt-Spijkenisse, Simonshaven and Hekelingen (districts of Spijkenisse )
  2. Putten buiten de Ring: the south-west bordering and later diked areas of Zuidland (also a district of Bernisse) with their outer polders
  3. Putten over het Spui (southeast on the neighboring island of Beijerland ): Piershil and Goudswaard (districts of Korendijk )
  4. Putten over Flakkee (southwest of the island Putten beyond the Haringvliet (then called Flakkee) on the eastern part of the island Goeree-Overflakkee ): Ooltgensplaat and Den Bommel (districts of Oostflakkee ), Stad aan 't Haringvliet and the former Sint Michiel in Putten (districts from Middelharnis )
  5. Putten over de Maas: Poortugaal (district of Albrandswaard ), Hoogvliet, Charlois, Pernis and Katendrecht (districts of Rotterdam)

Jacob remained childless, which is why he sold putti and strijen to the sovereign, the Count of Holland, as early as 1456, reserving the usufruct . With his death in 1459 Putten then definitely fell to the count in the person of the Burgundian Duke Philip the Good († 1467). Philip gave putti as apanage to his son Charles the Bold († 1477). During this time, Philipp von Horn († 1489) from the Horn family also appeared as Herr von Putten and Strijen .

In 1581 the area came under the rule of the States of Holland . The most famous person whose name is associated with Putten is Cornelis de Witt , who in 1654 was appointed Ruwaard ( Vogt ) of Putten by the States of Holland . Cornelis de Witt exercised this function until he was murdered together with his brother Johan de Witt on August 20, 1672 in The Hague .
