County of Longueville
Count of Longueville is a French noble title, whose holder had the fiefdom of the County of Longueville. The County was elevated into a Duchy in 1505.
Origins
The Lordship of
William Marshal managed to keep his part,[4] which in 1219 still belonged to his widow Isabel de Clare (Apr. 1172-1220) and her children in 1219.[5] On the death of Isabelle de Clare, his son William Marshal, 2nd Earl of Pembroke gave his brother Richard his land in Normandy or the honours of Longueville and Orbec. Richard died childless, and Louis IX of France seized the lands.[6]
Changes
In 1305, the county was given by
Orléans-Longueville family until the death of Jean Louis Charles d'Orléans
in 1694.
Separation and Return
In 1364, following the death of
Jean d'Orléans, himself an illegitimate son of the Duke of Orléans. The title became extinct in 1694 following the death of Marie de Nemours. From 1648, Longueville was also Sovereign Prince of Neuchâtel, a Swiss territory. In 1654 the eighth duke was created a peer as Duke of Coulommiers
but the peerage was never registered and so became extinct at his death.
