Ventadour
Ventadour was a viscounty in the Corrèze hills of Limousin, centred on its castle, Égletons and Ussel. In 1337 the House of Ventadour held it as a vassal of the French crown.
Raised to a county in 1350, it passed to Louis de Lévis through marriage to its heiress in 1472, when the native line ended. It became a duchy-peerage in 1578; the lands and title later passed through the Rohan family to the princes of Condé, while the castle was sold and dismantled after the French Revolution.
