The Brugse Vrije was a castellany in the county of Flanders; it included the area around [[Brugge]], and was bordered by the North Sea, the Westerschelde and the IJzer river. The city of Brugge was separated from the castellany in 1127. Since then the city and the Vrije were considered as separate customary law areas. The Brugse Vrije was a rich agricultural region. It had its own burgrave, who was seated at the Burg, a square in Brugge, and became part of the Four Members of Flanders at the end of the 14th century, together with the three major cities of Gent, Brugge and Ieper. The Brugse Vrije sat in the meetings of the States of Flanders. | The Brugse Vrije was a castellany in the county of Flanders; it included the area around [[Brugge]], and was bordered by the North Sea, the Westerschelde and the IJzer river.
