History
Dit dorp heeft als Hoge Heerlijkheid of Vrije Baronie een rijke en bewogen geschiedenis gekend.
I translated Hoge Heerlijkheid as "Royal Protectorate", but I'm not sure if this is correct.
Thank you.

the Manor
I read this as the plain old "Manor".
it certainly isn't a protectorate

one could say "the Great Manor" - to cover a larger area.
Note that Heerlijkheid is sometimes translated as Seigneurie, but as this is specifically Norman French it would not be suitable for a Dutch Manor (in my opinion). But if someone has a better idea...

On further reflection, I would put "Great Manor".

Ken Cox
: FWIW, the Grote Van Dale says a heerlijkheid is a 'property that gives the owner a title and certain rights'. I'm not sure whether this would correspond to a UK manor in the historical sense, but it's certainly not a protectorate.
