Blois
Blois was a French vassal county centred on the Loire crossing at Blois. In 1337 its count, Guy I of Châtillon, was married to Margaret of Valois, sister of King Philip VI.
Guy's son Charles died fighting at Auray in 1364 in the Breton Succession War. Guy II surrendered Blois to Duke Louis I of Orléans in 1397; Joan of Arc stayed at its castle in 1429 before marching to Orléans. Blois entered the royal domain when its count became Louis XII in 1498, and returned to the crown again on Gaston of Orléans' death in 1660.
