Champagne, War of Succession of

Years: 1216 - 1222

The War of Succession of Champagne is a war from 1216 to 1222 between the nobles of the Champagne region of France, occurring within that region and also spilling over into neighboring duchies.

The war lasts two years and de facto ends in 1218, but does not officially end until Theobald IV reaches the age of majority in 1222, at which point his rivals abandon their claims.

"In times like these, it helps to recall that there have always been times like these.”

— Paul Harvey, radio broadcast (before 1977)
