Toul

Toul was an imperial bishopric on the Moselle in Lorraine. By 1337 the city had freed itself from episcopal rule, while the bishops held secular lands and kept a stronghold at Liverdun.

In 1552 Henry II of France occupied Toul alongside Metz and Verdun. The Empire recognized their loss in the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. The old diocese was suppressed in 1802 and its territory merged with Nancy.
