ORLEANAIS

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 281 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ORC-PAI
ORLEANAIS , one of the provinces into which
France
  was divided before the Revolution. It was the country around Orleans, the pagus Aurelianensis; it lay on both banks of the Loire, and for ecclesiastical purposes formed the
diocese
  of Orleans. It was in the possession of the
Capet
  family before the advent of Hugh
Capet
  to the
throne
  of
France
  in 987, and in 1344 Philip VI. gave it with the
title
  of
duke
  to Philip (d. 1375), one of his younger sons. In a geographical sense the region around Orleans is sometimes known as Orleanais, but this is somewhat smaller than the former province.
See A.
Thomas
 , Les bats provinciaux de la France centrale (1879).
