Kingdom: France

Comments: Rouergue lies amid the large plateau which dominates south central France. In ancient times it was partially in Lugdunensis and partially in Narbonensis, it was overrun by various barbarians before finally passing to the Frankish Kingdom in the 6th century. Created a county in the 9th century, it was for a time under the influence of the Counts of Toulouse, until coming under the control of Philip II Augustus, in the early 13th century. Direct religious authority is vested in the Bishop of Rodez, who is under the oversight of the Archbishop of Bourges. There is little commerce in the county, which is mostly suitable for sheep raising and produces wonderful cheeses.
