The town and Diocese of Chartres is fifty miles southwest of Paris. It was the seat of a countship that became attached to the French crown in 1286, and was made a duchy in 1528. Simone Lamaire was bishop of Chartres between 1357 and 1360. It is home to what is widely considered the finest gothic cathedral ever constructed.
The town and Countship of Étampes is found twenty-five miles south southwest of Paris. The countship was held by Louis d'Evreux, great grandson of King Philip III, from 1336 until 1372, who was also count of Gien.
The Family of Milly is associated with the town of Milly-la-Fôret, located about thirty miles south of Paris.
The town and Countship of Dreux is found forty miles west of Paris. The countship had passed into the Thouars family by about this time.
