Encyclopedia > Counts of Champagne

The Counts of Champagne ruled the region of Champagne, France from 1022 to 1314. Hugues of Champagne was the first of the family to officially use the title "Count of Champagne".


When Louis became King of France in 1314, upon the death of his father Philip IV, Champagne became part of the Crown's territories.

Champagne (province) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (393 words)
Until 1284 the County of Champagne was in essence an independent territory, whose count nominally owed fealty to the king of France.
It was to the interest of the Count of Champagne, virtually independent of his nominal suzerain, the King of France, to extend the liberties and prerogatives of the towns.
Traditional historians have dated the decline of the Champagne fairs to the conquest of Champagne by Philip the Bold in 1273 and its inclusion within the Crown of France by Philip IV in 1284.
