Counts of Mortain


The County of Mortain was a medieval county in the Duchy of Normandy in France centered on the town of Mortain, disputed between France and England during parts of the Hundred Years' War. A choice landholding, usually either kept within the family of the duke of Normandy or granted to a noble in return for service and favor. This was the main reason Mortain had so many counts and from different lineages, as shown below, during its long history.
