The Land of Ravenstein was a sovereign state along the Meuse during the entire Ancien Régime and included the two main towns of Ravenstein and Uden. After 1815, the Land of Ravenstein became part of the new province of North Brabant.

The Land of Ravenstein, contrary to what is sometimes stated, was neither administratively nor territorially part of the Duchy of Brabant. For that reason, the country was able to retain its independent status after 1648, while the adjacent Meierij van 's-Hertogenbosch came under the United Provinces as part of Staats-Brabant. However, the Republic did not hesitate to assert its power in the Land of Ravenstein in a few cases, which led to conflicts with the German princely houses that ruled over Ravenstein on several occasions.
