Chartres county

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The County of Chartres , which already existed at the time of the Carolingians , was owned by the Counts of Blois since 956/960 , and thus part of the sphere of power of Theobald I († 978), who reached from Vierzon in the south to Dreux in the north and because of his marriage the heiress of Champagne ( County Troyes and County Meaux ) also included this part of France and thus included the French Domaine royal dangerously from two sides.

From that time on, the Counts of Chartres were identical to the Counts of Blois. However, Chartres did not have the pleasure of becoming the residence of his master, as the Bishop of Chartres , who was dependent on the King, lived here in addition to the Count . It was not until Adela of England , daughter of William the Conqueror and wife of Count Stephan II († 1102), that the city became a cultural center as a countess.

When Stephen's grandson Heinrich I divided the property , Chartres stayed with the County of Blois and became a residence for the first time, as the new Count, Heinrich's brother Theobald V , preferred it to Blois.

With Theobald VI. , the grandson of Theobald V, the Blois-Chartres line of the Count's House died out in the male line in 1218. The inheritance was divided between two aunts of the last count, Margarete and Elisabeth, in such a way that Margarete Blois and the county of Châteaudun to the north of it , the later county of Dunois , and Elisabeth of the county of Chartres, which is still further north, got. With Elisabeth's daughter Mathilde this line died out again; the county returned to Blois in 1269 and was sold to the king in 1286.
