Counts of Tyrol

Tyrol was originally divided between Italy and Bavaria and the language border between Italian and German still crosses this region. The direct control over the area was uphold by various counts and bishops. One of these were the counts of Tirol who managed to extend their domains over the whole region and thereby give it its present name. Tyrol was united with Austria 1363 and was thereafter often ruled by collateral branches of the Habsburg dynasty. The last of these became extinct 1665 and except of the period 1805-1814 when it belonged to Bavaria have Tyrol always been united with Austria, although the southern part was ceded to Italy after World War One.
