They were also Lords of La Ferté-Ancoul/-sous-Jouarre, and from the end of the 11th century until the Revolution, the viscounts were descended from the old masters of La Ferté-sous-Jouarre: the families of La Ferté-Ancoul, then Oisy ( Simon), of Montmirail ( Jean de Montmirail and his daughter Marie; they had also Condé, long associated with La Ferté-Ancoul and Meaux), Coucy ( Enguerrand III ; Enguerrand V), of Béthune-Locres, Bar ( Robert of Marle and his daughter Jeanne), of Luxembourg- Saint-Pol (

The valuation was very low, 15,000 livres only (except if it concerns the income and not the capital of the viscount). The latter leaves it to his youngest son François, duke of Orval (1602-1678, brother of Maximilien II) and to his grandson Philippe (born August 1682, son of François, he is said to have ceded the viscount during his lifetime to his first cousin Maximilien III), then to Maximilien II, dukes of Sully, Maximilien III François (1615-1662), Maximilien IV Pierre (1640-1694), Maximilien V Pierre-François-Nicolas (1664-1712), Maximilien VI Henri (1669-1729, without offspring, vacant at his death), Maximilien VIII Antoine-Armand of Orval (1730-1786, known as viscount of Meaux "since his birth" father of Maximilien IX Alexis (1750-1776) and Maximilien X Gabriel-Louis (1756-1800)).
