Auxerre
The County of Auxerre was a Burgundian fief centred on Auxerre on the River Yonne. After a long union with Nevers and Tonnerre, it passed to the House of Chalon; in 1337 John II of Chalon was count.
John II was held prisoner in London during the Hundred Years’ War. His son John III sold the county to King Charles V in 1370. The Treaty of Arras assigned Auxerre to the Duchy of Burgundy in 1435, but the French crown recovered it in 1477.
