Counts and dukes of Maine

The capital of Maine was Le Mans. In the thirteenth century it was annexed by France to the royal domain.

In 1673, the title began to be used again. It was revived by Louis XIV for his first illegitimate son by his chief mistress, Françoise-Athénaïs, marquise de Montespan. He used it until his death and also founded the semi-royal house of Bourbon du Maine, named after his title.
