County of Provence

The County of Provence was a historical region in southeastern France during the medieval period. It emerged in the 9th century and played a significant role in trade and culture due to its strategic location near the Mediterranean Sea. Provence was known for its wealth, picturesque landscapes, and the development of the Provençal language and literature. It was ruled by various counts and became part of larger political entities, including the Kingdom of France in the 15th century. Its rich heritage still influences modern Provence, known today for its art, cuisine, and vibrant local traditions.
