Brienne-le-Château (French pronunciation: [bʁijɛn lə ʃɑto]) is a commune in

the Aube department in north-central France. It is located 1 mile (2 km) from the
right bank of the river Aube and 26 miles northeast of Troyes.
History[edit]
It was the centre of the medieval County of Brienne, whose lords, first counts and
eventually dukes, had a claim to the Kingdom of Jerusalem. John of Brienne ( c.
1170 – 27 March 1237), also known as John I, was King of Jerusalem from 1210 to
1225 (and Latin Emperor of Constantinople from 1229 to 1237). He was the
youngest son of Erard II of Brienne, a wealthy Champagne.

 Napoleon Bonaparte (1779 to 1784) (French Emperor)

 Władysław Franciszek Jabłonowski (1783) (Polish general)
 Louis-Nicolas Davout (French Marshal)
 Antoine Le Picard de Phélippeaux (French emigre soldier)
In 1814, it was the site of the Battle of Brienne, when the Sixth Coalition invaded
France.
