Morvois

The Morvois is a landscape in the area of Pont-sur-Seine in the Aube department with the 210 meter high Mont Morvois south of the town in the center.

The area was called Pagus Mauripensis at the time of the Gallo-Romans , was a fiefdom and later a county. The term is almost only used in a historical context and in Mont Morvois.

The name appears in connection with Bertha von Morvois , who was perhaps the wife of Count Heribert I of Vermandois ( Carolingian ) and who, through her children, became the ancestral mother of the Capetians and perhaps also the late Conradins .
