Kurtoed Province
Kurtoed Province (Dzongkha: ཀུར་སྟོད་; Wylie: kur-stod; "Upper Kur") was one of the nine historical Provinces of Bhutan.
Kurtoed Province occupied lands in northeastern Bhutan. It was administered together with Kurmaed Province. Although it had its own de jure governor, actual power was wielded through the 19th century by the Penlop of Trongsa, who effectively ruled eastern Bhutan.
