The family of Faucogney is an extinct[1] noble family that came from Faucogney in Franche-Comté in France. The family divided in four branches in the middle of the 12th century and became extinct in the 14th century.[1]
History
The family took its name from the seigneury of Faucogney in Franche-Comté. Its filiation goes back to Gislebert landlord of Faucogney and viscount of Vesoul who founded in 1092 a priory near Vesoul.[2][3]
The Faucogney family was divided in four branches in the middle of the 12th Century.[4]
In addition to the seigneury of Faucogney, the Faucogney family owned many seigneuries in the surrounding villages.[5]
Jean de Faucogney married before 1336 Isabelle de France, daughter of King Philippe V and widow of Guigues VIII de La Tour du Pin (1309-1333),[6] they didn't have any children.[2]
The Faucogney family became extinct in the 14th century in the de Longwy family[1] with the marriage in 1370 of Jeanne de Faucogney with Henri de Longwy, lord of Rahon.[7]
