The Count of Nantes was a title held by the rulers of the region of Nantes, located in western France. This title was significant during the medieval period, particularly in the context of the Duchy of Brittany, where Nantes served as a key city. The counts played a crucial role in local governance and the political landscape of the region. The title of Count of Nantes eventually became less prominent as the Duchy of Brittany evolved. In 1532, Brittany was united with the Kingdom of France, leading to the dissolution of the countship. Today, Nantes is known for its rich history and cultural heritage.
