House of Montoire

The House of Montoire is an ancient family of the French nobility, close to the counts of Anjou and descended from the feudatories of the castle of Langeais, between Touraine and Anjou. It started with Nihard, Lord of Montoire. Later, through the marriages of Plaisante de Montoire and Helvise Doubleau, the possessions of Mondoubleau and Fréteval Langeais were added. The manor of Mondoubleau and, following the marriage of Pierre II de Montoire and Agnès de Vendôme, the county of Vendôme became part of the House of Montoire.
