history
Berny emerged from the Merovingian villa "Brannacum", which was taken over by the Carolingians . King Chlothar I visited the place in 561, the year of his death. For his son Chilperich I , Berny was even one of the most frequently visited residences for a few years, between 575 and 580. In that year 580, Bishop Gregory of Tours had to answer questions at a synod in Berny. A century and a half later, it was again Berny, who served as the residence for the last Merovingian king Childerich III. was selected (743). The villa had its last appearance after the change of dynasty, when Pippin the Younger obtained the consent of the Frankish nobility here in 754 for a campaign against the Lombards , which the beleaguered Pope Stephen II had asked him to do .
