king of See also:Burgundy, See also:Rudolf III., in 1032, the territories known later as Dauphine (as See also:part of his See also:realm) reverted to the far-distant See also:emperor. Much confusion followed, out of which the See also:counts of Albon (between See also:Valence and See also:Vienne) gradually came to the front. The first See also:dynasty ended in 1162 with Guigue V., whose daughter and heiress, See also:Beatrice, carried the possessions of her See also:house to her See also:husband, See also:Hugh III., See also:duke of Burgundy. Their son, See also:Andre, continued the See also:race, this second dynasty making many territorial acquisitions, among them (by See also:marriage) the Embrunais and the Gapencais in 1232. In 1282 the second dynasty ended in another heiress, See also:Anna, who carried all to her husband, See also:Humbert, See also:lord of La Tour du See also:Pin (between See also:Lyons and See also:Grenoble). The See also:title of the See also:chief of the house was See also:Count (later Dauphin) of the Viennois, not of Dauphine. (For the origin of the terms Dauphin and Dauphine see DAUPHIN.) Humbert II. (1333–1349), See also:grandson of the heiress Anna, was the last See also:independent Dauphin, selling his dominions in 1349 to See also:Charles of See also:Valois, who on his See also:accession to the See also:throne of France as Charles V. bestowed Dauphine on his eldest son, and the title was See also:borne by all succeeding eldest sons of the See also:kings of France. In 1422 the Diois and the See also:Valentinois, by the will of the last count, passed to the eldest son of Charles VI., and in 1424 were annexed to the Dauphine. See also:- LOUIS

Louis (1440-1461), later Louis XI. of France, was the last Dauphin who occupied a semi-independent position, Dauphine being annexed to the See also:crown in 1456. The See also:suzerainty of the emperor (who in 1378 had named the Dauphin " Imperial See also:Vicar " within Dauphine and Provence) gradually died out. In the 16th See also:century the names of the reformer See also:Guillaume See also:Farel (1489–1565) and of the duke of See also:Lesdiguieres (1543–1626) are prominent in Dauphine See also:history. The " States " of Dauphine (dating from about the See also:middle of the 14th century) were suspended by Louis XIII. in 1628, but their unauthorized See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting (on the 21st of See also:July 1788) in the See also:tennis See also:court (Salle du Jeu de Paume) of the See also:castle of Vizille, near Grenoble, was one of the earliest premonitory signs of the See also:great See also:French Revolution of 1789. It was at Laffrey, near Grenoble, that See also:Napoleon (See also:March 7th, 1815) was first acclaimed by his old soldiers sent to See also:arrest him.
