The County of Verdun was a sovereign medieval county in the Duchy of Lower Lorraine.

County

[edit]

The rulers of the sovereign County of Verdun styled themselves as Counts by the grace of God.[1][2] The small country was located near Lower Lotharingia within the Holy Roman Empire.[3] The Prince-Bishopric of Verdun bordered on it from the east.[3] The Forest of Argonne formed the western border of the county, but it also included the fortresses at Montfaucon-d'Argonne and Vienne-le-Château.[3] According to an imperial diploma issued in 1156, Bishop Haimo of Verdun received the right to appoint counts, but the counts from the Ardennes-Bouillon dynasty made the office hereditary by the end of the 10th century.[4]
