Toponymy

The first mention goes back to the time between 1167 and 1184, in which Ugonet de Rance appeared as a witness when signing a contract. A Roman road ran through the municipality , which is still called the Route des Romains between Les Millets and the border with Bantanges . It is likely that the area was settled as early as Gallo-Roman times. Ernest Nègre leads the name back to the personal name Rancius , with the possessive suffix -acum his property became Ranciacum and in 1312 Apud Rainciacum is also mentioned.

history

Rancy was originally a small town or at least a market town that was in what is now the hamlet of Millets . In 1387 a judgment was made because the Lords of Sainte-Croix and the Duke of Burgundy were in dispute. The castellan von Cuisery and his sergeant Jean Clerc had harmed the lords of Sainte-Croix because the von Sainte-Croix did not want to surrender a renegade revolutionary, but even handed him over to the Count of Savoy. In revenge, Jean Clerc entered the Duke's territory with 100 to 120 armed men and they stole large quantities of cattle and horses, pillaged and ransacked the granaries in Rancy and other places, and stole the money and furniture they found and carried everything home without anyone being able to get hold of them. So it seems to have been a nice area where a hundred men could rage like this. The Millets settlement was destroyed during this confrontation. On February 26, 1653, the place was completely burned down again by Jean-Baptiste Prisque de la Tour Serville , who rebelled against the king and was accompanied by 500 men. The lord of Rancy, Charles de Thoisy , lost about 50,000 Écus , left Rancy and settled in Joudes . In the 17th century, Rancy belonged to the Berbis, Barons des Barres , along with Huilly-sur-Seille and other areas.

During the pillage of 1653, the castle and the church were probably destroyed, the service continued to take place in the chapel, despite its dilapidation no other solution could be found. In the 1930s the interior could finally be renovated, in 1978 the roof was re-covered with flat tiles. A comprehensive renovation took place in 1995 after a committee had been trying to collect the necessary money on various occasions (sauerkraut dinner, raffle) since 1981.

Italian chair makers and lathe operators came to the Rancy and Bantanges area at the beginning of the 19th century . Thanks to the sand sedge that grows in abundance in this area, the raw material was abundant and chair making became a real industry. In 1993 there were still 20 companies and over 500 employees.
