Count of Maulevrier
The title of Count von Maulévrier was held by two families simultaneously in France from the 15th to 17th centuries.
The first known count was Pierre de Brézé . His descendants from the House of Brézé , House of La Mark and House of Le Fay carried the title into the 18th century.
The second family to bear the title of what the Gouffier House was . Guillaume Gouffier († 1495) was Baron von Maulévrier, his grandson Claude († 1570) had the title of Duke of Roannais and that of Count of Maulévrier. This line died out in 1639.
Two generations later, the title can be found in the Colbert house : Édouard François Colbert, brother of Jean-Baptiste Colbert , was Comte de Maulévrier; the title was still in the family in the 19th century. Maulévrier Castle in the Maine-et-Loire department is one of them .
The House of Andrault bought the Maulévrier Castle in Melay (Saône-et-Loire) in 1642, which was made Marquisat de Maulévrier-Langeron for Jean-Baptiste-Louis Andrault , Marshal of France since 1746 . This line died out a few decades later.
