Landgrave of Wedellsborg

The Landgrave of Wedellsborg was a Danish noble title held by the Wedel family for most of its modern history. The estate of Wedellsborg, near Tranderup Parish, was formerly known as Husbygaard. The estate was first held as a manor but was later elevated into a county.^[1]
