The county of Toul was a construct of the Bishop of Toul , who installed a count in 930, which he kept under his suzerainty. The first counts held the title for life, but could not bequeath it. This changed with Count Raimbaud, who took over the office in 1019.

As Odo von Lorraine, Count of Toul since 1250, the county in 1261 to his cousin, Duke Friedrich III. of Lorraine , the bishop withdrew the fief and added it to his own property.
