Viennois
The Dauphiné of Viennois was an Alpine principality centred on Grenoble. In 1337 Humbert II of La Tour du Pin ruled its towns, including Gap and Briançon, as an imperial prince.
His only son died young, and the indebted Humbert sold the Dauphiné to the French crown in 1349, handing it to Prince Charles, the future Charles V. The agreement gave the region autonomy and tax exemptions and required the French heir to bear the title Dauphin. Most privileges were withdrawn in 1457; the Dauphiné remained a French province until the Revolution.
