In the Old mode, the County of Fagnolles was a small independent State, sovereign ground, member of the Circle of Westphalia and Saint Empire Romain Germanique. This State was wedged in the Principauté of Liege, close to the “Good City” of Couvin. Occupied by France in 1792, the County of Fagnolles was then included in the department of the the Ardennes. Its last sovereign was celebrates it Prince Charles-Joseph de Ligne which will die in exile with Vienna in 1814. Fagnolle had remained French in 1814 and still formed part of the department the Ardennes. In 1815, to the Second Treaty of Paris, it was attached to the Kingdom of the Netherlands at the same time as Mariembourg, Couvin, Bouillon and Philippeville. Under this mode, the old sovereign county became property of the Crown of Guillaume I {{er}}. With Belgian independence in 1830, the commune of Fagnolles tried, in vain, to protest of its independence “from time immemorial” and this until in 1840.
