Funen County
In the Middle Ages, when Denmark was divided into hundreds, Langeland was divided into two hundreds. These were Langeland's Northern Hundred (Danish: "Langelands Nørre Herred") and Langeland's Southern Hundred (Danish: "Langelands Sønder Herred"), the latter also including the island of Siø. The two hundreds on Langeland were part of the fief (Danish: "len") of Tranekær Fief, which became Tranekær County in 1662. In 1793 the two counties of Tranekær and Nyborg were merged to form Svendborg County, which was merged with Odense County in 1970 to form Funen County (Danish: "Fyns Amt"). This county was dissolved in 2007, and the entirety of Funen County became a part of the Region of Southern Denmark.
