history
Dramelay was a seigneury in the Middle Ages. Lords of Dramelay were:
- Amedé, attested in 1044
- Onfroy, whose grandson attests to 1090
- Bernard de Tromelai , Grand Master of the Knights Templar 1151–1153
- Hugues I. de Dramelay, constable of the County of Burgundy 1173
- Hugues II. De Dramelay, his son, Lord of Dramelay 1189–1217
In 1240 Dramelay Castle was conquered and subsequently owned by the Count of Chalon , who passed it on to his brother-in-law Rudolf von Courtenay in 1248 . In 1260 Hugo von Chalon owned the castle, later Jean III. de Chalon , Count of Auxerre († 1379). The castle went to a younger line, the lords of Châtel-Belin and finally to the Chalon-Arlay, princes of Orange .
A branch line owned (as a result of the Fourth Crusade ) a dozen castles in the Peloponnese and 34 castles in Franche-Comté. Amadeus de Tramelay , Archbishop of Besançon 1197-1220 belongs to this line .
Dramelay Castle was destroyed in the fighting after the death of Charles the Bold († 1477).
