Dreux
The County of Dreux was a French royal appanage centred on Dreux between Normandy and the Île-de-France. In 1337 Peter I of the House of Dreux held it under the French crown.
Peter died in 1345, leaving his daughter Joan II, whose marriage to Simon de Thouars produced only daughters. Their heiresses eventually sold Dreux to Charles VI. In 1382 it passed to the Albret family as Marguerite de Bourbon’s dowry, before returning to the French crown in 1556.
