Faucogney (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Faucogney is a family of the nobility of Franche-Comté or Free County of Burgundy . This is the middle line of the House of Rougemont , which Faucogney indirectly inherited from an older House of Faucogney and the Vice-County of Vesoul from House of Vesoul and took the name Faucogney as a result of this inheritance. The family died out in the 16th century.

Jean III de Faucogney gave the Faucogney ancestral home to Johann von Neuenburg when he married Jeanne de Faucogney, his niece. Johann's heiress was his sister Isabella von Neuenburg, Countess von Nidau, who left Faucogney to his widow Jeanne in 1370. Jeanne's second husband, Henri de Longvy, sold Faucogney in 1374 for 20,000 gold francs to Philip the Bold , Duke of Burgundy . Jeanne's remaining inheritance goes to her son from this marriage, Jean III. de Longvy.
