The Count of Artois was a noble title in the historical region of Artois, located in northern France. This title was held by various members of the French aristocracy, particularly during the medieval and early modern periods. The Counts played significant roles in local governance and military affairs, often serving as vassals to the French crown. One notable holder of the title was Charles-Philippe de France, who became the Count of Artois in the late 18th century. He was the youngest brother of King Louis XVI and later became Charles X, the last reigning king of France from the Bourbon dynasty. The title has since become largely historical, reflecting the feudal system of the time.
