Montfort
Montfort was a county centred on Montfort-l'Amaury, west of Paris. In 1337 John of Montfort, son of Yolande of Dreux and Arthur II of Brittany, held the county from the French crown.
John's claim to Brittany after 1341 began the Breton War of Succession, and the crown confiscated Montfort-l'Amaury. John died in 1345, but his son later won the war. English troops destroyed the castle during the Hundred Years' War; the county returned to the French crown when Brittany joined France.
