Jean de Brosse in the context of House of Rochechouart

The House of Rochechouart (French: [ʁɔʃ(ə)ʃwaʁ]; Maison de Rochechouart) is the oldest noble family in France. This powerful dynasty of the Carolingian era dates back to Foucher, supporter of Charles the Bald, who became viscount (vicomte) of Limoges in 876. His descendants—Limoges, Rochechouart, Mortemart and Brosse—ruled over the area for several centuries, providing many different French regimes with politicians, soldiers, functionaries and other notable figures. The family is named after the town of Rochechouart.
