Saarbrücken
Saarbrücken was a county on the Saar in Upper Lorraine. In 1337 Count John I ruled from the Broyes-Commercy dynasty, which had acquired the county through marriage.
John II was captured alongside the French king at Poitiers in 1356 and held in England until 1360. On his death in 1381, his daughter’s marriage brought the county to Nassau. After repeated partitions, French troops occupied it in 1793 and France annexed it in 1797.
