Soissons county
A county of Soissons with the capital Soissons was in the hands of Heribert II , Count of Vermandois at the end of the 9th century . Its descendants held the county until the 14th century.
By marriage, the county passed to Johanna von Hainaut, then to Ludwig von Châtillon, Count of Blois . His son Guido sold it to Enguerrand VII de Coucy in 1367 . Enguerrands daughter Marie sold a part on to Duke Ludwig von Orléans , who then with the accession of Louis XII. was united with the Domaine royal .
In 1413 Robert von Bar got the counties of Marle and (remaining) Soissons as compensation for the loss of the Duchy of Bar . Soissons was inherited from his descendants. The last count of Soissons was Prince Eugene of Savoy , the imperial general, with whose death in 1736 the county of Soissons reverted to the crown.
In the 12th century a vice-county of Soissons was established for the castellan of Coucy.
