Oscheret

Oscheret or Pays d'Oscheret is an old Pagus near Dijon in what is now the Côte-d'Or department in the French region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté . The name comes from the river Ouche , a tributary of the Saône that flows through Dijon.

At the time of the Kingdom of Burgundy (6th-9th centuries) the Oscheret became a county in the secular or archdeaconate in the ecclesiastical sense. The only known Count of Oscheret was Anskar, † 898/902, 870/887 Count of Oscheret and from 888/891 Margrave of Ivrea , one of the ancestors of the House of Burgundy-Ivrea
