Roucy
Roucy was a Champagne county in the Aisne valley northwest of Reims. In 1337 John V of the Pierrepont family held it as a vassal of the French crown.
John fell fighting for France at Crécy in 1346. In 1370 Isabelle of Pierrepont sold Roucy to Louis of Anjou, but her uncle Simon recovered it after a twenty-year lawsuit in Paris. John VI died at Agincourt in 1415, and heiress Jeanne brought the county to the Sarrebruck family by marriage. It passed to the Roye family in 1525 and later to the La Rochefoucauld.
