The Duchy of Bar (French: Duché de Bar ) was a historical territory on the upper reaches of the Meuse in Lorraine in what is now France with the center Bar-le-Duc .
Territorial development between two realms
Bar-le-Duc was already the center of a county around 955 , when Frederick I , later Duke of Upper Lorraine , acquired these lands through an exchange of territory with the Bishop of Toul .
In 1354 the county of Bar was raised to a duchy . It belonged partly to France (Barrois mouvant, located in the west of the county, was ceded to Philip the Fair by the Roman-German King Albrecht von Habsburg in 1301 ) and partly to the Holy Roman Empire . The German half was reunited with the Duchy of Lorraine in 1380 (in fact not until 1419) . The Barrois mouvant , which got its name from the handover ( mouvance , terre mouvante ) of feudal rule by the French king to the sovereign, remained under the sovereignty of the French crown. In 1766, Bar was annexed by France.
The territory of the duchy stretched along the Meuse from Bassigny in the south to Stenay in the north and comprised the area between Argonne and Moselle , the Woëvre and the area north of Toul .
