Введение
В Средние века графы Блуа были одними из самых могущественных вассалов короля Франции. Этот дворянский титул, по-видимому, был создан в 832 году императором Людовиком Благочестивым для графа Вильгельма, младшего сына Адриана, графа Орлеанского. В течение нескольких десятилетий графство было присоединено к королевским владениям Франции до конца IX века, прежде чем его статус понизили до виконтства. С момента обретения автономии около 940 года и до окончательного включения в состав Орлеанского герцогства в 1397 году графством правил Теобальд I, сын потомков последнего виконта. Его потомки, известные как Дом Блуа, породнились со многими европейскими дворянскими семьями. В 1397 году граф Ги II уступил титул герцогу Людовику I Орлеанскому, второму сыну короля Карла V. Последним наследственным графом Блуа был его внук, герцог Людовик II, который присоединил графство к королевским владениям Франции, когда в 1498 году был коронован королём Франции под именем Людовика XII. Титул вновь появился в 1626 году, когда герцогу Гастону Орлеанскому было предложено новое независимое графство Блуа, выделенное из Орлеанского, но король Людовик XIV отказал в этой милости своему брату, герцогу Филиппу, когда тот получил традиционную апанажу в 1660 году.

During the Middle Ages, the counts of Blois were among the most powerful vassals of the King of France. This title of nobility seems to have been created in 832 by Emperor Louis the Pious for Count William, the youngest son of Adrian, Count of Orléans. Over a few decades, the county was gathered to the royal lands of France until the end of the 9th century, before being relegated to the status of viscount. From its autonomy around 940 to the definitive integration to the Dukedom of Orleans in 1397, the county was directed by the son of the last viscount's descendants, Theobald I. His descendants, called House of Blois ended up related to a large number of European noble families. In 1397, the title was ceded by Count Guy II in the favor of Duke Louis I of Orléans, who was the second son of King Charles V. The very last hereditary count of Blois was his grandson, Duke Louis II, who annexed the county to the Crown lands of France when he was crowned King of France in 1498 under the name of Louis XII. The title reappeared in 1626 when Duke Gaston of Orléans was offered a newly independent County of Blois from Orléans, but King Louis XIV refused this favor to his brother, Duke Philippe, when he received the traditional apanage in 1660.

He inherited the counties of his brother John II and all his close family's remaining territories: Blois, Châteaudun, Soissons, and Avesnes. By 1360, he was taken prisionier by the English as a consequence of treaty of Brétigny. His release costed him the county of Soissons. In 1374, he married his cousin Marie of Namur, with whom he had a son, Lord Louis III, who died in 1391.

From 1391 to his death, he remained the usufructuary count of Blois.

Несмотря на то, что права на графство были переданы герцогу Людовику I Орлеанскому, Блуа не был сразу интегрирован в королевский домен. В результате герцоги Орлеанские также носили титул графа Блуа, до 1498 года, когда герцог Людовик II стал королем Людовиком XII.
