Thecount of Champagne was the ruler of theCounty of Champagne from 950 to 1316. Champagne evolved from theCounty of Troyes in the late eleventh century andHugh I was the first to officially use the title count of Champagne.

CountTheobald IV of Champagne inherited theKingdom of Navarre in 1234. His great-granddaughterJoan married KingPhilip IV of France. Upon Joan's death in 1305, their sonLouis became the last independent count of Champagne, with the title merging into the royal domain upon his accession to the French throne in 1314.

The titular counts of Champagne also inherited the post ofseneschal ofFrance.

InMerovingian andCarolingian times, several dukes of Champagne (orCampania) are known. The duchy appears to have been created by combining thecivitates ofRheims,Châlons-sur-Marne,Laon, andTroyes. In the late seventh and early eighth centuries, Champagne was controlled by thePippinids; first byDrogo, son ofPippin of Herstal, and then by Drogo's sonArnulf.
