   Maison de Montoire
   Maison noble de Vendômois, issue de fonctionnaires des comtes de Vendôme au château de Montoire pour en devenir les seigneurs héréditaires. Durant les premières générations, la terre fut transmise par les femmes, s'alliant aux Montdoubleau, Fréteval et Langeais. La famille posséda la seigneurie de Mondoubleau, puis le comté de Vendôme.
