The county of Charolais was acquired by Philip II, Duke of Burgundy in 1390. In 1477 the county passed to the Habsburg. From then on its history was shared with the one of Franche-Comté, until it was acquired from Spain by Louis XIV and was united with France and incorporated into the province of Burgundy in 1761.
