Comments: Vendome is in west central France, about a hundred English miles southwest of Paris. Originally a part of Gallia Lugdunensis, it did not come under Frankish rule until the late 5th century. Created a county in the 9th century, it passed to the Angevin Plantagenet family in the 11th, and thus, when Henry II became King in England, to English dominion, to be regained for France early in the 13th century by Philip Augustus.

Vendome is part of the Archiepiscopal province of Tours. The fief is overwhelmingly agricultural in character.
