The Counts of Dammartin were the rulers of the county of Dammartin, based in the current commune of Dammartin-en-Goële as early as the 10th century. Located at the central plain of France, the county controlled the roads of Paris to Soissons and Laon. It seems that this county was initially held by Constance, the wife of Manasses Calvus, the first Count. The name Dammartin-en-Goële comes from Domnus Martinus, the Latin name of St. Martin of Tours, who evangelized the region of Goële in the fourth century. A small town in the district of Meaux in the Department of Seine-et-Marne, ancient village of Region of Île-de-France, it appears to go back to the earliest times; Dammartin-en-Goële, also called Velly, was in 1031 one of the most significant places in France.
After dispute between the heirs of Matilda, who died without issue, the county of Dammartin was given to Mathieu de Trie, maternal grandson of Aubry III of Dammartin.
The English, who occupied the northern half of France, confiscated the County of Dammartin and gave it to a Burgundian lord, Antoine de Vergy.
Charles VII recovered the county of Dammartin and returned it to the rightful owner.
The king confiscated his property and gave Dammartin to the Prince of Condé. The county then lost its importance, and the castle was dismantled.
The county is transmitted through his descendants until the Revolution.
