County of Coligny

The rule Coligny-le-Neuf - owned by the Coligny family - was in the Bresse and Revermont (now the departments of Ain and Jura ). It was part of the old Principality of Coligny ( Principauté de Coligny or Souveraineté du Revermont ).

In feudal times Coligny-le-Neuf had voluntarily submitted to Savoy , thus becoming French with the Treaty of Lyon in 1601 , like all of Bresse.

County and duchy of Coligny-le-Neuf

The county of Coligny le Neuf was established in 1559 by the Duke of Savoy on behalf of Gaspard II. De Coligny , Admiral of France ( 1519 - 1572 ).

In 1648 the county was elevated to a duchy in favor of Gaspard IV. De Coligny ( 1620 - 1649 ), a great-grandson of Gaspard II. See: Duke of Coligny

With the death of Henry-Gaspard de Coligny ( 1657 ), Gaspard III's grandson, the duchy became a county again. It went to the Pillot de Chenecey family, descended from the old princes of Coligny.
