WP:RVREASONS The last Dauphiné, Humbert II de la Tour-du-Pin, depleted his treasury by funding an unsuccessful Crusade to conquer the Holy Land. After the death of his only son and heir, André, Humbert sold his lands to Philip VI of France in 1349 for 400,000 écus and an annual pension. To keep up appearances, the sale was referred to as a "transfer." In order to prevent the title from going extinct, Humbert instituted a statute whereby the Dauphiné was exempted from many taxes. This statute was subject to many parliamentary debates at the regional level, as local leaders sought to defend their autonomy and privilege against the state. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nestor 8998 (talk • contribs) 18:23, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
Need to moreso highlight that the Valentinois was NOT in France
editIt illreads: “The County of Valentinois was a fiefdom within Dauphiné Viennois(formerly in southeast France at Italy) and was a part of the Holy Roman Empire from 1032 until the sixteenth century.” 2A00:23C7:2B13:9001:74A8:4F58:E892:D2D6 (talk) 06:45, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
