In the 12th century Baarle is located in a rather peripheral region in which none of the regional counts (of Holland, Louvain/Brabant, Gelre) or bishops (Utrecht, Liège) enjoys a firm grip on the surrounding territory.
Baarle was at this time not the only collection of enclaves and the enclaves were not the only inhabited parcels.
As far as Baarle is concerned, Henry III was followed as Count of Nassau and Lord of Breda by René of Chalons, Prince of Orange (in France) and then by William of Orange, the central figure in the Dutch revolt against Spain.
Baarle is a community with a twist: large pieces of the town are actually part of another country--Belgium.
The good people of Baarle have realized that there is some tourism benefit to this, so they have marked most of the boundaries in the towns.
All Baarle houses are marked with special national number plates: rounded ones with Dutch colours for homes in the Netherlands, square ones with a Belgian flag for Belgian houses.
