In 1117, in full spiritual renewal, a Priory was founded in Marast by the canons regular of St Augustine’s Abbey of Chaumosey in the Vosges mountains, under the leadership of two local lords Richard de Montfaucon and Tawk de Rougemont. Decline of the 16th century, the Priory is joined to the Collegiate Church of our Lady of Dole in 1611. During the revolution, it is sold as a national asset in 1792. Unique vestige of the 12th century, the Church Sainte Marie Madeleine is a basical plan, an orphan of its two aisles destroyed in the 19th century. English version: In 1117, under the orders of Richard de Montfaucon and Rougemont Thiebaud, the Augustinians of the Chaumosey Abbey in the Vosges founded a priory at Marast. In 1792, the priory was sold following the Revolution. The original site included a church built in 1117, convent buildings rebuilt in the 16th Century and several outbuildings. Sole vestige of the 17th Century, the church of Sainte Marie Madeleine included a basilica, bereft of its two aisles which were destroyed in the 18th Century. The bell tower, which was removed in 1718, has an imperial style roof. The Marast Church priory is one of the few remaining examples of Roman Ottonian influenced architecture. Rebuilt in 1718, the bell tower stands North of the sanctuary with its roof to the upper deck. The Priory Church of Marast is a rare copy of the Ottonian influenced Romanesque architecture.

Germany big, anxious to avoid a minority like that ofHenri IV, turned to the brother of the deceased: Philip of Swabia was elected in 1198 King of the Romans, in place of his nephew. The Pope immediately aroused him a competitor, the Welf Otto IV for which Richard III and Etienne II of Auxonne, then vassal County of Burgundy, took advantage against the advice ofAmédée de Tramelay, Bishop of Besançon. Hence the excommunication of Richard and Gauthier , after they had made prisoner the Bishop Amédée. A transaction is found in 1199 by which the count of Montbéliard and Lord of Montfaucon renounce their claims on in du Jorat , in return for the lifting of the excommunication[1].
At the beginning of the XIIIe century Richard takes an active part in the war between his brother-in-law Stephen II of Auxonne and Othon of Merania, especially since it occupied the castle ofORB through William IV of Mâcon in order to intercept the relief expected by Étienne III. A few years later he is at war with the count of Ferrette Frédéric II who came to have a fortification at Delle in retaliation for the construction of the castle of Belfort, a mediation is found and sealed by the marriage of the two children of the protagonists promise[1].

The Rougemonts
The Premiere Shroud Family

http://rougeknights.blogspot.com
Bernard de Tramelay/Dramelay was a Grand Master of the Knight
Templars who is said to have died just after he and forty Knight
Templars breached the walls of Ascalon during the Crusades.
Information on Bernard is very scarce, it suggested his greed got
him and the forty Templars killed, as the first to conquer a city
got the lion’s share of the spoils. There is a suggestion there was
a falling out between the Templars and the Christian forces who did
not follow Bernard into the breach. When the Muslim defenders saw
this, they closed on Bernard who I suspect was trying to capture the
Ark of the Covenant that Joseph Flavius said was in Ascalon. The
Templars were very keen to own the Ark, and when they first arrived
at the temple grounds they began to dig extensively, especially atop
the Mount of Olives where they built a substantial fortress. Did
they suspect what I have put forth, that the Ark was either the
Oracle of Delphi, or kin to this object and the process which
allowed great men and women to see their fate? I suspect Absalom was
an Oracle, the angel Ariel/Uriel.
For two years now I have been looking at the name Fromond de
Dramelay who married a “dame de Rougemont”. He is shown in many
genealogies (including a Rougemont chart) to be the son of Amedee,
the Archbishop of Besancon, which is located fifty miles or so from
Rougemont in the Franche-Comte where it is said Bernard was born.
His father was named Humbert. All the Humbert names I have found on
the net belong to the Ferrette/Rougemont family. Several Rougemonts
were the Archbishops of Besancon.
The Templars were also in possession of the Shroud of Turin that was
given to Amedee by Othen de la Roche (of the small rock). It has
been concluded that Bernard de Tramelay is the related to Amedee.
The de la Roche family is kin to the Rougemont and Dramelay family.
j.
Jean de Montreaux (Montrose) married Marguerite de Rougemont. Jean
is a Ferrette who built Montreux castle that is fifty miles from
Rougemont. Their daughter Alix married Fromond of Saint-Loup where
the Templars are said to have brought their treasure. The Marquis
d’Auxelles came to live in the rebuilt castle of Rougemont. Chambrun
d’Uxeloup de Rougemont bought Arginy castle and began to look for
the lost Templar treasure. The name Uxeloup come from Saint-Loup and
Auxelles a castle that was built by the Ferrette family who dwelt in
Rougemont castle. Members of the ‘Arginy Renaissance’ are said to be
descendants from Knight Templars, even a Grand Master in regards to
Guillaume de Beajeau, but, I suspect this group knew who Bernard
Tramelay was…..and what he captured at Ascalon?
Marguerite de Saint Loup d’Auxelles married Thibaut 4 of Rougemont.
Richard d’Auxelles married Thibaut’s daughter, Helvuis, whose
grandfather was Humbert. This Humbert appears to be the Archbishop
of Besancon, a name that means “house of light”. Here is a quote
about the Rougemonts and Counts of Champagne who commisioned some of
the Grail legends; “By skillful policy, “always acquiring never
alienating” the family formed matrimonial alliances with the great
families, Montbeliard, Commercy, Chatteauvillian, Geroldseck, Chalon-
Auxere, Montague, Ray, Rougemont, Joinville, and Grandson.”
Shround of Turin and Knights of Saint-George
The Knights of Saint-George met at Rougemont Castle and had a room
in a tower in Besancon. The Archbishop of Besancon resided over a
ritual there that involved ceratin relics. Was the Shroud of Turnin
one of them?
“A room in the tower of Montmartin was granted to him by a treaty
with the town of Besancon, as well as the exemption of the housing
of people of war for the knights residing in Besancon. The knights
of Saint-George were besides only noble city of Besancon has to
profit from this inappreciable privilege.
“These portraits like that of the prince of COP, special guard of
the brotherhood decorated the superb room with the Large Carmelite
friars of Besancon, unfortunately destroyed at the time of the
Revolution. The plank of the woodworks of the room was decorated
series of the blasonnés ecus of the alive knights, with their
confined inscriptions of their four districts, which one descended
at the time of their death to be carried in ceremony with the
church, then suspended with their row in the nave where one saw a
great number of it which had decorated a long time the vault with
Rougemont.”

The daughter of Geoffrey II de Charny, Marguerite de Charny, marries
Jean de Beaufremont who will be killed at the battle of Azincourt in
1415. In 1418 Marguerite de Charny marries again, to Humbert de
Villersexel, seigneur de Saint Hippolyte sur le Doubs.
1418
The Shroud is given to Humbert de Villersexel by the Canons of
Lirey. It will be conserved in the chateau de Monfort, near
Montbard, then transferred to Saint Hippolyte sur le Doubs, in the
Chapelle des Buessarts.
1438
Death of Humbert de Villersexel ; the canons of Lirey want to
recover the Shroud. Marguarite de Charny refuses. The case is
carried before the parliament of Dole (May 1443), then to the Court
of Besancon (July 1447). Both decide in favour of Marguarite de
Charny. The canons refuse to accept this judgment, and ask for the
excommunication of Marguarite de Charny. In 1459 they abandon their
claim in return for financial compensation. The quarrel had lasted
21 years !

“The commune of the Mount was joined together with that of Dramelay
on March 19, 1825.
At the time Gallic, it was the oopida surrounding populations. A
tower, placed at Chaitelot, rose in the region along the way which
went the Saline ones in Izernore. The tradition populates spirits
the Wood of the Fairy which shade the foot of the mountain. The
Temple of Bacchus was replaced by a church dedicated to Saint
Martin’s day, substitution all the more constant as, not far from
the church, is a space of ground called as a Bacchus. These places
known as prove the high antiquity of Dramelay. Let us note in the
passing that there was the pagan Temple dedicated to Segomon Mars in
Arinthod, and the menhir of the small valley of Vogna.
With the fall of the Roman empire, Burgundes take this southern
region of the Jura. The Lords de Dramelay obtain a prerogative
between Suran and Valouse, to the river of Ain.
Lords: TheReferees made him return freedom. The marriage which took
place between Jean de Chalons II and Alix of Burgundy in 1317,
inserted the baronnie of Dramelay in the house of the Lords of
Orgelet.
On March 6, 1365, a division grants Tristan de Chalons Arinthod,
Dramelay, Boutavent.
Jean, Lord de Chalons, wire of Tristan, bequeath by will of May 3,
1396, in Alix of Trawl-nets his sister, married in 1384 in François
de Sassenage, Montfleur, Arinthod, Chavannes and Dramelay.
Alix remarie in 1403 in Guillaume of Saulieu. She bequeaths all her
goods to her nephew, Louis of Trawl-nets-Arlay III, in 1426. And the
house of Trawl-net-Arlay will preserve the ground of Dramelay until
the beginning of the XVI eme century.
Philiberte of Luxembourg sells it in 1512 to Philippe-François de
Luyrieux.
This last resells it in Louis of Saix, repurchases it in 1531 with
its successors.
In March 1643, it passes from Charles of the Room and Isabelle de
Luyrieux to Jean de Méria and Jean Mouchet.
Successive owners: Philibert of the Room, its sons Claude and Jean
of the Room
The latter find a ground grévée of debts. On October 29, 1561, their
uncle bishop of Belley and their curator authorizes them to sell to
Nicolas Chupin and Louise Battefort her wife. Leonel de Battefort,
wire of Louise de Battefort succeeds.”
“The only city to have claimed to possess the Shroud from 1208 to
1329 was the French city of Besançon. The theory is that during the
Fourth Crusade, the Burgundian knight who commanded the district of
Blachernae where the Shroud was kept, Othon de la Roche, Duke of
Athens and Sparta, received it as part of his recompense.”

“The theory that the Templars may have possessed the Shroud is
supported by the discovery in 1944 of a painting of the Holy Face
(circa 1280) on a wooden panel in the village of Templecombe,
England. This village was owned by the Knights Templars from about
1185. Rex Morgan, a Shroud scholar, hypothesized that the wooden
panel may actually have been a lid to a wooden box which contained
the Shroud when it was transferred from France to England during the
suppression of the Templars. “The Templecombe panel has 125 points
of congruence with the Shroud face . . . The fleur-de-lis decoration
of the painting strongly suggests French influence and the
quatrefoil design is recurrent in Templar . . . decorative motifs.”
The theory is very plausible, except that the Templars never
admitted to possessing the Shroud. The only city to have claimed to
possess the Shroud from 1208 to 1329 was the French city of
Besançon. The theory is that during the Fourth Crusade, the
Burgundian knight who commanded the district of Blachernae where the
Shroud was kept, Othon de la Roche, Duke of Athens and Sparta,
received it as part of his recompense. The claim that the Shroud was
in Athens is attested to directly in a letter by Theodore of Epirus
dated August 1, 1205, and indirectly by Nicholas of Otranto, abbot
of the monastery of Casole. Othon, in turn, sent the cloth to his
father, Ponce de la Roche, who then handed it over to the Bishop of
Besançon, who placed it in the Cathedral of St. Etienne where it was
exposed for veneration each year on Easter until 1349. In that year
a fire burned down the Cathedral causing slight damage to the
Shroud. In the midst of all the confusion, the Shroud disappeared.
According to a dubious sixteenth-century account kept in the second
church of Lirey, the Shroud was given to King Philip VI. He
subsequently gave it to a friend whose name, coincidentally, was the
same as the Templar Grand Master who was burned at the stake,
Geoffrey I de Charny!

The noble association of the knights of Saint-George was founded in
Rougemont about the year 1300 by the sovereigns of the county of
Burgundy to gather Burgundian gentlemen of former knighthood. Their
badge at that time was a medal representing holy George with horse
embanking a dragon, suspended with a gold chain. This brotherhood
was destroyed at the end of XIVe century by the wars. She was
restored by Philibert of MOLLANS (3), knight comtois who would have
brought back Holy Land of the relics of Saint-George. He
consequently thought of offering them to the nobility of the county
of Burgundy. He thus joins together about 1435 or 1440, a certain
number of knights comtois to honour these relics in a vault which he
had with the castle of Rougemont. And it solved to celebrate each
year the festival of a saint, that the nobility regarded as its
owner, because it was knight and that one represented it with horse
armed with a lance. Philibert of MOLLANS was undoubtedly the first
governor of the order elected by the body of the knights.
Consequently, the largest lords of the country hastened to be made
receive in the brotherhood, and were assembled each year in the
vault of Rougemont on April 22, day before the George Saint.
Philippe the Good authorized the order to like carry the suspended
medal to a red ribbon that of the Golden Fleece. In 1648, the
brotherhood settled in Besancon and not in Dole, then capital county
of Burgundy, indeed the brotherhood had already a political role
while being opposed to the Parliament of Pares.
A room in the tower of Montmartin was granted to him by a treaty
with the town of Besancon, as well as the exemption of the housing
of people of war for the knights residing in Besancon. The knights
of Saint-George were besides only noble city of Besancon has to
profit from this inappreciable privilege. However, it seems to have
met several times at Vesoul, city which has as Saint-George patron
saint.
Then on April 25, 1661, the brotherhood is assembled in Salins and
decides that henceforth it will meet in Besancon, with the convent
of the Large Carmelite friars, rested by a fellow-member: Jean of
VIENNA. After the conquest, Louis XIV decided to tolerate the
brotherhood, in spite of his resistance to the invader. He made it
possible even to the knights to carry their medal of Saint-George
suspended to a blue moire ribbon like that about the Holy Spirit,
this in order to adapt has lower cost part of the nobility comtoise,
which would provide him executives devoted for its army. Besides
Louis XV & Louis XVI, continued the policy of the Sun king with
regard to the brotherhood, they addressed to the company portraits
the them same ones, in foot, where one could read: “Given by the
king the knights of George Saint of his county of Burgundy.”.
These portraits like that of the prince of COP, special guard of the
brotherhood decorated the superb room with the Large Carmelite
friars of Besancon, unfortunately destroyed at the time of the
Revolution. The plank of the woodworks of the room was decorated
series of the blasonnés ecus of the alive knights, with their
confined inscriptions of their four districts, which one descended
at the time of their death to be carried in ceremony with the
church, then suspended with their row in the nave where one saw a
great number of it which had decorated a long time the vault with
Rougemont. The church which was papered blazons of the knights of
George Saint was also paved of their tombs, “as if they had wanted
to join together in this place the emblems of human vanity to the
testimony of his nothing”. At the time of the general assembly of
April 25, 1768, new statutes were written, they will be studied here.
Article II – If the governor or ordering province wants to attend
these assemblies, the four appointed knights will accompany it
instead of the assembly, where it will take the row and the meeting
due to his load and the sovereign which it represents, which is the
chief of the knighthood.Article III – The archbishops and bishops,
knights of the order, will be drawn from their row of reception, in
consideration of their dignities joined together with that of
knight, and will immediately have meeting after the governor of the
order, in armchairs placed at its left and with the top of the
table, and the other knights will sit each one with their row of
reception.

canons caused him, it left for the crusade in 1218 and died out of
Holy Land in 1220. In him the family of the Lords de Dramelay died
out.
Etienne of Burgundy, owner of Baronnie d’ Orgelet, joins together
Baronnie de Dramelay with his fields. The descendants of Guillaume
de Dramelay, nephew of Bernard, do not preserve any right on this
ground.
Jean de Chalons collected the baronnie of Dramelay, in the
succession of his father in 1248. He lays out about it in favour of
Philippe de Courtenay, and in August 1248 gives it into stronghold-
liege to Raoul de Courtenay and his successors, by stipulating that
the castle would be jurable and rendable with him or (and?) with
those of the children whom it would have of Isabelle de Courtenay
his wife. What enabled him to return in possession of this property
when good would seem to him; what did not delay since in 1262
his/her son ainé Hugues entered in property of this ground. The
latter was allocated to the son of Hugues, named Renaud, who did not
want to recognize any more Jean de Chalons for his suzerain. This
last made him the war and did it captive.
