Bar
The County of Bar was a border principality centred on Bar-le-Duc. In 1337 Henry IV inherited lands divided between French overlordship in the west and the Empire in the east.
His dispute over homage with Duke Rudolph of Lorraine ended through French mediation. Bar became a duchy under Robert in 1354 and passed to René of Anjou in 1430. After the duchies were ruled together from 1480, René II decreed their union permanent in 1506. Bar passed to Stanisław Leszczyński in 1738 and to France on his death in 1766.
