Rosnay County

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The County of Rosnay was a small medieval feudal territory in France , located in the historic Champagne countryside . With the community of Rosnay-l'Hôpital as its center, it had encompassed its immediate surroundings, corresponding to the north of today's canton of Brienne-le-Château in the Aube department .

history

The county of Rosnay was established in the 10th century from the northern part of the old Frankish pagus Breonensis , while the county of Brienne emerged from its southern part . In 968, Count Adson gave country estates in the pago Pertense ( Perthois ) to the Abbey of Montier-en-Der . Between 1010 and 1035 Count Isembard and his son of the same name appear, who donated the village of Blignicourt to the abbey for the salvation of the Countess, who was not named , but received it back immediately for a donation of two solidi annually. Count Manasses, who also had a son named Isembard, transferred the collegiate church of Rosnay to the Abbey of Montier-en-Der in 1035. Count Guerin renounced worldly life in 1081 and joined Cluny Abbey as a monk . After that, the county seems to have come into the possession of the Counts of Dammartin in an unclear way . In any case, Count Peter von Dammartin lay dying in Rosnay Castle in the first years of the 12th century and wrote his will here. As a result, Rosnay passed into the domain of the Counts of Champagne , who had set up a count's bailiwick here by 1139 at the latest. In 1263 Heinrich von Champagne received the County of Rosnay from his older brother Count Theobald V as an allowance with an annual pension of 5000 livre. After Heinrich succeeded as Count of Champagne (and King of Navarre) himself in 1270, Rosnay is again connected to the Count's domain and with this, through the marriage of his daughter Johanna to King Philip IV of France, became part of the crown domain .
