County of Moha
During the Middle Ages, the County of Moha (Latin: comitatus Muhae or Mohae) was a small territory in the pagus of Hesbaye in the Duchy of Lower Lorraine in the Holy Roman Empire, in what is now eastern Belgium. It was centred around the village of Moha on the right bank of the river Mehaigne and its nearby castle.
The "county" of Moha was originally an allod. It came to be regarded as a county only during the 11th century, when its lords became counts of Eguisheim, and later counts of Dagsburg and Metz. Among its dependencies were the manors of Antheit, Saint-Jean, Waleffe and Wanze.
