Drenthe is a province in the north of the Netherlands. It used to be part of the bishopric of Utrecht, but became more and more independant. It has not been a separate county or duchy as most of the other Dutch provinces, but it retained the status of "landschap" (a kind of self-governing area). Drenthe joined the Utrecht Union (see [[Utrecht (provincie)|Utrecht]]), but as a landschap did not have voting rights in the republican parliament (Staten-Generaal). It became a province in 1805. The arms of the province of Drenthe are derived from the seal of the Landschap Drenthe, which depicted the same composition since 1262.
