"Southern Jutland Southern Jutland () is the name for the region south of the Kongeå in Jutland, Denmark and north of the Eider (river) in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The region north of the Kongeå is called Nørrejylland (""Northern Jutland""). Both territories had their own ting assemblies in the Middle Ages (in Viborg and Urnehoved). Southern Jutland is mentioned for the first time in the Knýtlinga saga. In the 13th century South Jutland became a duchy. The first duke was Canute Lavard (""Knud Lavard""). In the late 14th century it took the name of the Duchy of Schleswig. The duchy was named"

The area was not surrounded by water until a storm in February 1825, which caused a connection between the North Sea and the fjord Limfjorden. Hence it is traditionally regarded as a part of Jutland rather than an island. Geographically, it is the second largest island of Denmark after Zealand (excluding Greenland) with"
