Valois

Valois was a French county centred on Crépy-en-Valois. In 1337 King Philip VI of the House of Valois ruled France.

In 1392 Louis I became Duke of Orléans and Valois. François held Valois before becoming King Francis I in 1515; the Valois dynasty remained on the French throne until 1589, while the territory continued to be granted to royal family members.
