| | Histoire du Territoire de Belfort, avant la Révolution |
 | | In 1347, Albert of Habsburg also called Albert the Wise, whose family was important in the German Empire, married Jeanne of Ferrette, one of the four daughters of Jeanne and Ulrich. |
 | | In the north of Belfort, very early in the XIVth century, there was a little mining industry. |
 | | In 1659, to reward him for services rendered to the Crown, Louis XIV granted the Counties of Ferrette and Belfort, and the Seigniories of Delle, Altkirch, Thann and Issenheim as hereditary fiefs to the Cardinal Duke de Mazarin, Louis’ prime minister since 1642. |
