Counts of Toulouse
The county of Toulouse was created 778 by Charlemagne and became
hereditary in the house of Rourgue in the middle of the 9th century.
In their hands Toulouse became one of the most important principalities
in southern France and it had supremacy over the counties of Quercy, Albi,
Carcassonne, Nimes, Béziers and Foix. They also inherited a part of
Provence in the 11th century. Since the end of 9th century Toulouse had
de facto been completely independent from France and it was only with
the Albigensian crusade 1209-29 that French central power was restored. The
house of Rouergue's fiefs were confiscated 1212 and given to Simon de
Montfort. The house of Rourgue was reinstated in Toulouse with the peace
in Paris 1229 but they did not retain the supremacy over the neighboring
counties. The county of Toulouse was finally dissolved when the last count
died without heirs and it was united with the royal domain 1271.
