Chiny

Chiny was a county of the Holy Roman Empire in the Ardennes, with its seat at Montmédy. In 1337 Count Theodoric of Heinsberg faced pressure from Bar and the bishops of Liège.

From 1337 to 1340 Theodoric sold Ivois and Virton to John I of Luxembourg. In 1364 Wenceslas of Luxembourg bought the remaining county from Arnulf V. Lorraine continued to dispute the acquisition, and in 1489 its troops destroyed the fortified town of Chiny.
