What is Count of Champagne?
The '''count of Champagne''' was the ruler of the County of [[Champagne (province)|Champagne]] from 950 to 1316. Champagne evolved from the County of Troyes in the late eleventh century and Hugh I was the first to officially use the title count of Champagne. == Counts and dukes of Champagne, Troyes, Meaux and Blois == === Dukes of Champagne === [[File:Blason_région_fr_Champagne-Ardenne.svg|right|55x55px]] In [[Merovingian]] and [[Carolingian]] times, several dukes of Champagne (or ''Campania'') are known.
