Toponymy

The place is first mentioned in 1089 as Ecclesia Bellevavre in the books of the Baume-les-Messieurs monastery . However, the name goes back to the Gallo-Roman settlement period, originally bella vevre, meaning a beautiful floodplain , but also scrub and undergrowth. In fact, the place is at the crossroads of five Roman roads , one of which led from Verdun-sur-le-Doubs to Poligny , the other from Dole to Louhans and Lons-le-Saunier . The archaeological finds (weapons of all kinds, swords, daggers, spears, arrow and lance heads, shields) prove the importance of this settlement, which in Gallo-Roman times was the largest road crossing in the Bresse.

history

Bellevesvre owed its importance in the High Middle Ages to its strategic location on the border between the Duchy of Burgundy and the Free County . Surrounded by a city wall with three gates, the small town was enclosed by a double moat. The border location allowed the place to hold trade fairs and markets early on, which made it a considerable fortune. The castle stood in the north of the village, on a hill, surrounded by moats. A small castle, on a hill, 600 paces from Bellevesvre (in the hamlet of Motte ), served as a defense against the Free County. Today there is nothing left of palace or castle. Coins, weapons and utensils were found in the former cellars.

The church was rebuilt in 1379, it is consecrated to the Birth of Mary and contains several old tombstones, for example from the 15th century by Jean de Terrans, adviser to the Duke of Burgundy , by J. Perrot († 1520), by Cl. Violet, pastor of Charette († 1500), of Marie Beaune Bernard de Montessus, Baron von Bellevesvre, governor of Beaune († 1686) and of Jeanne de Bonneval, his wife († 1672). A Familiarité , which consisted of 19 members in 1389, supported the church service in Bellevesvre. In 1506 it still consisted of six members and after the losses suffered in the Huguenot Wars there were even fewer. After all, in the 18th century there was only one priest who was appointed by the residents. A leprosy station was located near the river in the 14th century in an area called Champ Maillard (now the hamlet of Maladière ). It later became an asylum and a cemetery for plague victims .

In 1372, when the bell tower was built, the town had six aldermen . After the House of Burgundy died out in the male line in 1477, the Duchy of Burgundy went to France, but the Free County to the Burgundian Empire . The wars in the 16th and 17th centuries (the war against the Savoyard Duke Charles Emanuel I , the Thirty Years War and the War of Devolution ) brought terrible disasters to the place on the outermost border point of the Duchy of Burgundy. In 1637 Bellevesvre was conquered and cremated by the liberal armed forces, with only 16 inhabitants remaining. The situation was similar in the neighboring village of Mouthier, in fact the whole area was largely depopulated and only recovered very slowly.

The de Bellevesvre family

This small town was named after a noble family who, together with the future abbot of Cluny , Bernon , founded the monastery in Mouthier-en-Bresse (Monasterium in Brixia) in the 10th century and who were associated with the most powerful families in the Area, in the 13th and 14th centuries produced many knights , abbots and abbesses capable of weapons . One of the daughters of this family, Marguerite de Bellevesvre , married Henri d'Antigny , became the mother of Huguette d'Antigny de Sainte-Croix , who married an Étienne de Saint-Dizier and - in their second marriage, after a criminal adventure - the wife of Philippe de Vienne , lord of Pymont.

Guillaume von Bellevesvre became Bishop of Chalon and took part in the Council of Anse in 1299 . After his death in 1300 he found his final resting place in the church of St. Jean-de-la-Grotte in Autun , next to his uncle Anselm (Anseau) , Bishop of Autun and next to Henri de Montbéliard , his brother. Béatrice de Bellevesvre was abbess in Lons-le-Saunier in 1336 and honored her lineage through her virtue and her merits. Knight Jean became lord of Bellevesvre in 1362, after him Jean de Montaigu , Baron von Couches, followed at the end of the 14th century by Jacques de Vienne , lord of Pagny .

The other gentlemen from Bellevesvre

After Jean de Montaigu and Jaques de Vienne , rule passed to the Fourneret in the 15th century , who held high positions in justice and finance in Burgundy. In the 16th century, the Damas de Marcilly were the masters, from whom Théode Pinsonnat , president of the Chambre des comptes in Dijon, took over in 1630 . In 1640 his daughter married Bernard de Montessus , whereby the barony passed into their possession. It included the areas of Torpes , Bellevesvre, Dissey (hamlet of Mouthier-en-Bresse) and the place Mouthier-en-Bresse .

The de Montessus family

The de Montessus remained lords of Bellevesvre until 1820, when they were followed by the Comte de Grivel , who was mayor of the municipality and district administrator (Conseiller d'Arrondissement). Knight Antoine-Charles-Gabriel-Bernard de Montessus was Maître de camp in the Régiment du Maine in 1789 , Count of Rully and Bellevesvre, Baron of Dissey, Lord of Mouthier, Torpes and other places. Ferrand , director of Burgundy, mentioned the family in 1698 "the nobles of this family have always served in the army: the house is good and old". In fact, the de Montessus belonged to the old nobility of the duchy since 1360, from them came a canon of the chapter of Lyon , governors of Chalon-sur-Saône and Beaune , noblemen of the king's cabinet, knights of the Order of the Holy Spirit , the Order of Louis and George -Order . As a result of a marriage, the family settled in Franche-Comté , but the older branch stayed only for a short time, his descendants became barons and counts of Rully, the younger branch de Montessus de Chauvirey remained in the Free County, but expired at the beginning of the 19th century.

The Count of Rully and Bellevesvre, Antoine-Charles-Gabriel-Bernard de Montessus became deputy deputy of the nobility in the Bailiwick of Chalon and in 1789 of the Estates General . In 1791 he emigrated, served in the Condé army and fought against Napoleon Bonaparte until 1796 . In 1803 he was Maréchal de camp with the Count of Provence, in 1814 confirmed by Charles X. In 1815 he was appointed Lieutenant General and appointed to the Chambre des Pairs . He left the chamber of peers in 1830 in order not to have to take the oath and died in Paris in 1831.
