From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
county of Saint-Pol
(or
Sint-Pols
) was a
county
around the French city of
Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise
(
Sint-Pols-aan-de-Ternas
) on the border of
Artois
and
Picardy
, formerly the county of
Ternois
.
For a long time the county belonged to
Flanders
, and then from the early 11th century until the end of the 12th century it remained in the hands of the
Campdavaine Family
, before passing to the
Chatillon family
then the
Luxemburg family
.
The best-known count was
Louis
,
the constable of Saint-Pol
. He was extradited to
Louis XI of France
by
Charles the Bold
, and in 1475 Louis beheaded him for high treason. In 1493, Saint-Pol was transferred to the
Holy Roman Empire
by the
Treaty of Senlis
; in 1537, Emperor
Charles V
destroyed the capital city. The county was annexed to Artois in 1787 then
France
in 1790.
