Taillebourg county
The county of Taillebourg emerged in the 15th century from the lordship of Taillebourg (Charente-Maritime) . The center of the fiefdom was the local Château de Tailleboug (without the "r").
The first lords of Taillebourg are attested as early as the 11th century. The ruling family died out in the mid-13th century and inherited the property to the Lords of Parthenay , who sold it in 1407. After a few changes of ownership, King Charles VII gave Taillebourg to his chamberlain, Prigent VII de Coetivy, whose grandson Charles was the first to hold the title of count. Via Charles' daughter Louis de Coetivy, Taillebourg then came to the La Trémoille house , who carried the title until the middle of the 18th century, the youngest in the line finally as duke.
