Gouët (family)

The Gouët family ruled the Cinq Baronnies of the later - and named after them - province of Perche-Gouët ( Montmirail , Authon , La Bazoche , Brou and Alluyes ) since the 11th century. However, the title of baron or count of Perche-Gouët was rarely used. With the daughter of Guillaume Gouët IV, the male line died out at the end of the 12th century. In the female line, ownership went to Heinrich von Bourbon, later King Henry IV of France , in the 16th century , so that the Gouët family became the ancestors of the u. a. belong to the ruling Bourbons in France and Spain.
