County of Duras
The County of Duras was a medieval county with its seat at the castle of Duras, which is a part of modern St Truiden in the province of Belgian Limburg.
It was one of several counties in the Hesbaye region( Haspengouw in Dutch) which stretches into the south of Belgian Limburg.
The county of Duras itself eventually merged with the County of Loon, and other family titles were inherited by the Counts of Montaigu in the Ardennes.
Its history is also entangled with that of the neighboring Abbey of St Truiden.
The first certain counts of Duras were" subadvocati" of the Abbey, who were responsible for the secular lordship of their estates.
This office became controversial, and there was conflict not only between the" subadvocatus" and the Abbey's own brethren and tenants, but also with the higher" advocatus", the Duke of Limburg, and their successors the Dukes of Brabant.
This is a major topic of the medieval" Gesta" or chronicle of the Abbey.

History of Belgian Limburg
The Belgian province of Limburg in Flanders( Dutch speaking Belgium) is a region which has had many names and border changes over its long recorded history.
Its modern name is a name shared with the neighbouring province of the Netherlands, with which it was for a while politically united( under French and then Dutch rule from 1794 until 1839).
And in turn both of these provinces received their modern name only in the 19th century, based upon the name of the medieval Duchy of Limburg which was actually based in neighbouring Wallonia, in the town of Limbourg on the Vesdre.
For much of its recorded history, most of what is now called Belgian Limburg was known as Loon( French" Looz").
Loon was a medieval county, and when the line of the Counts died the area became part of the Prince- Bishopric of Liège but was still often referred to as the" land of Loonland van Loon" in Dutch).
The original capital of medieval Loon is today officially called Borgloon, and the capital of the province is now Hasselt.
In Roman times, Belgian Limburg, and probably also at least parts of the Dutch province and the medieval Duchy, were in the" Civitas Tungrorum", which had its capital in Tongeren.
