Hrothgar is to Skyrim what Washington D.C. is to the U.S. D.C. isn't really a state, but it is treated like one. Hrothgar isn't in a Hold, it belongs to itself.

(And an interesting tidbit for those who don't know. The city of Bethesda, Maryland holds the hospital where the President goes when he and his family get sick. )

(also, N.B. I'm NOT making a political statement. I'm talking about geography)
