  • La maison de Laval est une famille éteinte de la noblesse française, ou plutôt une succession (en lignée féminine) de cinq familles de la noblesse française, qui fut influente dès le XIe siècle, aussi bien dans le comté du Maine que dans le duché de Bretagne. Ces familles sont éteintes de nos jours. À partir du XIVe siècle, elle devint, avec les Rohan et les Clisson, une des familles les plus puissantes du duché de Bretagne, tout en restant la première famille du Maine. Tout au long du Moyen Âge, elle sut préserver ses intérêts en maintenant une relation équilibrée entre les ducs de Bretagne et les rois de France. Néanmoins, à la fin de la guerre de Cent Ans, les comtes de Laval rejoignent la cause royale et participent aux batailles contre les Anglais. Les victoires successives de Charles VII leur permettent d'affermir encore leur position et leur fortune. À la fin du XVe siècle, la maison de Laval a acquis un statut quasi princier, et elle possède de vastes domaines dans tout le Nord-Ouest de la France, dont le comté de Laval. Elle atteint son apogée sous la Renaissance, avant de décliner à partir du milieu du XVIe siècle. (fr)
  • Il Casato di Laval è una famiglia di baroni, in seguito conti, originari della città di Laval, localizzata nel nord-est della Francia, parte delle province del Maine prima della rivoluzione francese. I Laval furono una delle più potenti famiglie del Maine durante il Medioevo ed ebbe anche una presenza in Bretagna, dove il loro prestigio fu simile a quello dei Rohan. Il Casato di Laval giocò un ruolo significante nella storia bretone e durante la guerra dei cento anni e le guerre di religione francesi. Favorirono anche il rinascimento francese nel nord-est della Francia, costruendo diversi castelli. L'ultimo erede maschio morì durante il XVII secolo, ed i suoi possedimenti andarono al Casato di La Trémoille. François de Laval fu il primo vescovo cattolico del Québec; la città di Laval, e l'Università Laval furono chiamate in suo onore. (it)
