Astenois
Astenois (Latin ''pagus Stadunensis'') was a ''pagus'', the most basic division of territory in the Roman Empire, Roman and Francia, Frankish empires. In the Middle Ages, it comprised the parishes of the deaconries of Sainte-Menehould and Possesse. Originally a part of Lotharingia, by the eleventh century its southern part belonged to the Holy Roman Empire and its northern part to the Kingdom of France. The original seat of its counts was at Le Vieil-Dampierre. Traditionally, Astenois, Dormois and Castrice, the three eastern ''pagi'' of the archdiocese of Reims were held to belong to the empire. In the eleventh century, as part of a general fragmentation of power in the region, new counties were formed which did not correspond to ancient ''pagi'' but were instead named after their main castles. The county of Astenois, which did correspond to an old ''pagus'', became known as the county of Dampierre after its rulers' chief fortress. The counts of Astenois were originally a cadet bran ...

Renard II Of Dampierre-en-Astenois
Renard II, also spelled Reynald, Raynald, Rainard or Renaud (born 1170s, died 1234), was the count, or lord, of Dampierre-le-Château in the Astenois. His lordship lay partly within the Holy Roman Empire, but he was also a direct vassal of the Count of Champagne. Renard took part in the Fourth Crusade, but did not join the siege of Constantinople. He was captured in the Holy Land by the emir of Aleppo, and remained in prison for twenty-eight years until he was ransomed. Family and church Renard was a son of Renard I (died 1190/1) and Euphemia (married by 1163). He married Helvide (or Héloïse) shortly after the death of her first husband, Henry, castellan of Vitry, in 1190.

Renard I Of Dampierre-en-Astenois
Renard I, also spelled Reynald, Raynald, Rainard or Renaud (died 1190/1), was the lord or count of Dampierre-le-Château in the Astenois and a vassal of the count of Champagne. He succeeded his father Henry sometime between 1161 and 1163. In 1163, Count Henry I of Champagne made himself a hostage of the German emperor Frederick I on behalf of his lord, King Louis VII of France. When Louis did not appear for a scheduled meeting, Henry was forced to do homage to Frederick for several castles, including Dampierre, that lay along the Franco-German border. This had the result of placing Renard's lordship in Germany, and the border thus ran through the county of Champagne. Afterwards, Louis VII claimed that Henry's cession had been unauthorised, but it was not reversed. Also in 1163, Pope Alexander III issued a bull confirming the acquisitions of the monastery of Monthiers-en-Argonne. Included among them was the donation of Bouillemont (now part of Rapsécourt) by Guillaume de Somm ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Counts Of Toul
Count (feminine: countess) is a historical title of nobility in certain European countries, varying in relative status, generally of middling rank in the hierarchy of nobility. Pine, L. G. ''Titles: How the King Became His Majesty''. New York: Barnes & Noble, 1992. p. 73. . The etymologically related English term " county" denoted the territories associated with the countship. Definition The word ''count'' came into English from the French ''comte'', itself from Latin '' comes''—in its accusative ''comitem''—meaning “companion”, and later “companion of the emperor, delegate of the emperor”. The adjective form of the word is " comital". The British and Irish equivalent is an earl (whose wife is a "countess", for lack of an English term). In the late Roman Empire, the Latin title '' comes'' denoted the high rank of various courtiers and provincial officials, either military or administrative: before Anthemius became emperor in the West in 467, he was a mil ...
