Viscounts of Meaux
They were also Lords of La Ferté-Ancoul/-sous-Jouarre, and from the end of the 11th century until the Revolution, the viscounts were descended from the old masters of La Ferté-sous-Jouarre: the families of La Ferté-Ancoul, then Oisy, of Montmirail, Coucy, of Béthune-Locres, Bar, of Luxembourg-Saint-Pol, of Bourbon-Vendôme then Bourbon-Condé.
And then on 13 August 1627 Henri II of Condé yields the viscount to Maximilien de Béthune, Duke of Sully, from Béthune-Locres. The valuation was very low, 15,000 livres only.
The latter leaves it to his youngest son François, duke of Orval and to his grandson Philippe, then to Maximilien II, dukes of Sully, Maximilien III François, Maximilien IV Pierre, Maximilien V Pierre-François-Nicolas, Maximilien VI Henri, Maximilien VIII Antoine-Armand of Orval and Maximilien X Gabriel-Louis ).
