Toponymy

The name goes back to the Gallo-Roman settlement period, originally altus tumulus , meaning a high hill. In fact, the Authumes area appears to be a distinct elevation when viewed from the Roman road , which lies at around 180 meters.

history

Authumes borders the Franche-Comté and lies on the edge of the Bresse , on a small ridge called Tertre (small hill). It was in the border area between the Sequani and the Haeduers . Remains of Roman buildings, shards and objects, including a small bronze statuette, have been found in the area. The finds suggest that there was a Gallo-Roman settlement here that was destroyed by the immigrating Franks . A familiarity was attached to the parish . There was a leprosarium , after which the old field name La Malatière points.

In 1302 Jean de Vienne sold his entire estate in Authumes to Duke Robert II. In the 15th century, Philip the Good gave the barony to his chancellor Nicolas Rolin . The place had a city wall with two gates and a castle with towers. It dates back to 950, was expanded under Rollin and turned into a true fortress. Due to the border location, the population suffered a lot during the Huguenot Wars and the War of Devolution . In 1637 Authumes was conquered by the Comtois , and in 1638 it was reconquered by the French. By order of the king, the castle was razed, all that remained was an old tower and traces of the former moats. The houses were also destroyed and the settlement was rebuilt at its current location.

From Nicolas Rolin, his daughter Philipote inherited the rule of Authume, which she in turn passed on to Anne d'Oiselet , the wife of Emart Bouton , chamberlain to the Duke of Burgundy and bailiff of Chalon-sur-Saône . In 1534 Charles Bouton sold the reign of Authumes to Philippe Chabot , Admiral of France . In 1666 Catherine de Neuville , Countess of Armagnac, owned the Authume estate, after several changes of ownership it came into the possession of the de Thiard family .

The Fontaine des Trois-Rois (Three Kings Fountain) is located between the cemetery and the village . This is where the parents used to bring their children with scrofula before they prayed and made offerings in the church. The church was built in 1686 from the material of the old castle and dedicated to the birth of the Virgin Mary . In 1988 there were 14 farms.
