Lords, counts and dukes of Montfort-l'Amaury

This list is about the Lords, counts and dukes who ruled over Montfort-l'Amaury.

Around ten years before 1000 AD, Robert the Pious commissioned Guillaume de Hainaut with protecting the royal domain around Paris from the counts of Blois to the west. Guillaume built a castle on a hill and called it Montfort; his son Amaury founded a town nearby which received the name of Montfort-l’Amaury. Thus, becoming the first Seigneur of Montfort-l'Amaury.

House of Montfort-Brittany

After Claude's death in 1524, Francis I of France inherited his wife's property under their marriage contract. This marked the end of the common fate of Brittany and Montfort. Brittany's attachment to France became definitive in 1547, although in 1524 the King already had the county of Montfort in his possession as part of the French domaine royal.[6]
