Chiny county
The county of Chiny , the forerunner of which was probably the county of Yvois , was located in the extreme south-west of the Belgian province of Luxembourg and in the north-west of the French department of Meuse . In the end, it comprised most of Virton , Étalle , Florenville , Neufchâteau , Montmédy , Carignan as well as Warcq and Givet on the Meuse .
It was presumably Otto von Warcq who managed to take possession of the county of Yvois, since his successors were lords of Warcq and Yvois at the same time. After the construction of Chiny Castle , they named themselves Counts of Chiny after their new castle .
In 1362 Gottfried II von Heinsberg sold the county to Arnoul de Rumigny, who two years later sold it to Duke Wenzel von Luxemburg . This second sale meant the end of the independent county.
