Even the Counts of Vermandois appointed vice counts as their deputies in the county of Meaux , which belonged to their property. In the early 11th century the County of Meaux came into the possession of the family of the Counts of Blois , where it merged with their other estates in the County of Champagne . The count family also set up vice counts in Meaux, as in Troyes and Chartres .

The first known vice counts had political weight in Flanders as Burgraves of Cambrai . One of the best-known of them is Hugo III, who made a name for himself as a trouvère at the court of Countess Marie von Champagne . He also brought his relative, the famous trouvère and crusader, Conon de Béthune to the court of the Countess of Troyes .

After the first house died out, the vice-county passed through inheritance in the possession of various noble houses in France.
