The County of Ligny (French: Comté de Ligny; Scottish Gaelic: Iarlachd na Ligny), also recognized as Ligny is a state located in North-Central France. In 1408 the personal union between the Kingdom of Scotland, the Duchy of Auvergne and the County of Boulogne begins and a new prosperous era emerges for our realm.

Background[]

John II, Count of Auvergne and Boulogne, passes away from life and Joan II, David III's wife inherits the Duchy of Auvergne and the County of Boulogne, thus the Scottish Crown Prince David III effectively rules over his wife's domain via jure uxoris rule.

In 1408, King Robert II Bruce of Scotland abdicates the Scottish throne to his son, Crown Prince David III.

The personal union between the Duchy of Auvergne, the County of Boulogne and the Kingdom of Scotland begins.

This is one of the two Counties ruled by the House Luxemburg-Bruce under the Duchy of Auvergne, the other one being Saint-Pol.

Regent Alison Bruce acts as caretaker for her underage son, Count John II.
