Thibaut I "Le Tricheur, " Count Of BloisBorn ± 910, died Jan 16, 973-974, approximately -1884 years Name Suffix: Count of Blois, Chartres and Tours Note: The countship of Blois appears at first to have been appointive, for under Robert the Strong (d. 866), duke of the entire region between the Seine and the Loire and ancestor of the French royal house of Capet, Blois was an appointive viscounty. About 940 the title of count was assumed by Thibaut I the Old, or the Cheat (d. c. 977), who founded the hereditary house of Blois. He enlarged his domain until it extended from the Indre to the Eure river. From 987, when the accession of the Capetians to the French throne was firmly established, the counts of Blois were the king's immediate vassals; but they were also his most dangerous rivals. The immediate successors of Thibaut I continued to enlarge their domain, sometimes at the expense of the Capetians. | |||
