Guise is a small historic town in northern France. It was home of a powerful feudal family, the Dukes of Guise (who were also Dukes of Lorraine). The name 'de Guise' probably originally meant 'from Guise'.

The town's name itself comes from a passage (a ford) on the local river.

counts originates from a Latin term 'comes' and duke from 'dux' . counts were senior to duke, but the dukes

were more important

Very well.
