The County of Boulogne was a county within the Kingdom of France during the 9th to 15th centuries, centred on the city of Boulogne-sur-Mer. It was ruled by the counts of Flanders in the 10th century, but a separate House of Boulogne emerged during the 11th century.[1] It was merged into the County of Artois by Philip II of France in 1212 and eventually annexed to the royal domain itself in 1477.
