By this Charter, Ponce de Moysia, prior of Gigny, together with John of Chalon, count of Burgundy, soul, Lord of Coligny and of Andelot and Hugues de Rougemont, Grand Ma tre of the Temple, gave its seal authenticity to a famous donation. This was the one that Manasses of Coligny, brother of soul, made to the order of the Temple by receive Knight of the suzerainty of Montagna, Broissia, Eperigna (closed at Montfleur) and Holy Fountain (La Balme of Epy). This Charter, which also contains the name of the property, is one of the oldest written in French language. It mentions a large number of sites across the country and is of interest in more than one respect. Since this donation, the village of Montagna was nicknamed the Templar by distinction of Montagna-le-renewed, near Saint-Amour.

“June 1418: The widowed Margaret de Charny marries Humbert of
Villersexel, Count de la Roche, Lord of St.Hippolyte sur Doubs.”
Humbert de Villersexel is Humbert de Rougemont.
“1208 – Pons de la Roche presents to Amadeus de Tramelay, Archbishop
of Besançon, the Shroud that his son Othon de la Roche, Latin Duke
of Athens, had sent him from Constantinople.”
Aymon 2 de Rougemont was the Seigneur of Villersexel. He married
Guillemette de Ray, the daughter of Othon 2 de la Roche.
Othon 1 de la Roche (-before 1161) had a son named Pons de la Roche
the Seigneur de Ray. He first married Marguerite Tilchatel who may
be a Rougemont who came to own Til-Chatel. Guillaume, Gui, Humbert4,
Gui 2, and Thibaut 6 were Seigneurs of Til-Chatel. Othon then
married Pontia de Rougemont/de Dramelay the daughter of Thiebaud 2
de Rougemont. They has three children. Humbert, Thiebaud, and
Sibylle de la Roche. This union makes the Shroud the Rougemont
family icon, or relic.

It has long been suspected the Knights Templars came to own the
Shroud of Turin, some scholars suggesting it is the Holy Graal
itself. Here is evidence this was the case.
Jeane de Vergy, the grandniece of Othon de la Roche, son of Pons de
la Roche, presented the shroud to Amadeus de Tramelay, Archbishop of
Besancon, and Latin Duke of Athens. Tramelay is also spelled
Dramelay, as in the case of Bernard Dramelay/Tramelay, the fourth
Grand Master of the Knights Templar. Fromond Dramelay married
N.Rougemont, and from them descend the de la Roches, they the Lords
of Neufchatel. You can follow the Rougemont line to Aumiry de
Rochefoucauld who was the Grand Master of the Templars in Paris.

The fifth son of Guy II of Rougemont and Guillemette de Coublant,
was lord of Pichanges. In December 1265, having
recalled the donations made to the temple by Aimon IV and Guy II, he
gave to the Templars, with the agreement of his elder brother, Jean,
Lord of Rougemont, the right of pasturage on his lands of Pichanges
and Spoy. He died in 1271 and was buried before the altar in the
chapel of Fontenotte and conferring his Templar rank of Preceptor
(priest-templar).

Bellevaux, Bella Vallis was founded by Pons i. de La Roche and Etienne de Traves in 1119, he comes to the first girl of theAbbey of Morimond and was also the first Cistercian Abbey in Franche-Comté[1].
The birth of the Abbey of Bellevaux coincides with the appearance of the line of the Lords of La Roche-sur-L’ognon likely from the Lords of Scey and Traves. an estate it is formed with the help of the Lords of Cirey and Chambornay[1].
The Church is consecrated in 1143 and dedicated to our Lady[1].
Abbey dependent on four barns in 1139, eight in 1178 (Cirey, Magny, Valleroy, Baslieres, Trevey, Argirey, Champoux and Braillans – the last two for a clearing nearby)[1].
Bellevaux participates in the swarming of the abbeys following mother Morimond : from 1124, it contributes to the creation of theLucelle Abbey in the diocese of Basel and then to the diocese of Lausanne, to Montheron (around 1130)[1]. In its immediate proximity, it creates institutions Rosières (1132) and charity (1133); then, the Lords of La Roche became Lords in Attica as a result of the Fourth Crusade, theAbbey of Daphni (sometimes called “Laurum Abbey” in certain acts)[2], in present Greece[1].
End of thee century XII, the Abbey has the chance to get the very important relics: those of Pierre de Tarentaise. Former monk became Archbishop of Tarentaise (1141-1174), he travels the Burgundy to get the Pope to support in its fight against the emperor when the death surprises him. Despite the wishes of the canons of Tarentaise, it is buried in Bellevaux, and reputation of holy man and miracle worker, was canonized in 1191[1].
Bellevaux therefore became an important centre of pilgrimage of many nobles of the surroundings while (first amongst which the Lords of La Roche) and even three archbishops of Besançon (Gerard, Nicolas and Eudes de Rougemont are buried in the Abbey Church[1]. After the French Revolution, the relics are transferred to the Church of Cirey.
From thee century XIV, barns are leased and the Abbey invests in Saltworks in Lons-le-Saunier and Salins. They are building a mansion in Besançon. Workforce decline to reach a score of monks (18 in 1352 during the visit of the Abbot of Morimond)[1].
The situation is more difficult: the Abbey account more than six monks in 1497 and it comes to expose the relics of Pierre de Tarentaise exceptionally to attract alms to repair the Church[1].
Commendatory Abbot stands little by little: Jean Rolin, son of the Chancellor Rolin became Abbot in 1455. It is definitive from 1551 and D’andelot Pierre abbatiate[1].
The ten years war hit head-on Abbey: in 1650, said prior have more water for the altar or book to say mass. It is the sole occupant[1]. In the 18th century the situation improved considerably: the earnings of many possessions were abundant, 4-5 monks with a dozen employees lived a comfortable life, and sumptuous buildings are erected during the last commendatory Abbot, also Bishop of Évreux, Louis-Albert de Lezay-Marnésia.
The Abbey was sold as national property in 1791 Thomas de Vesoul, which resells them in 1795 at the général Pichegru[1]. In 1817, Eugene Huvelin, former monk of theAbbey of Sept-Fons, and two lay of the same monastery bought the buildings from the heirs of Charles Pichegru and settle a new community of twenty-five monks, under the observance of Sept-Fons. DOM Huvelin made back the relics of Pierre de Tarentaise, installed in a chapel built in an extension of the building with the stables outside the fence.
Pons i. de La Roche (?- 1134), son of Otto i. Scey in Varais and Sybille, is the founder of the lineage of la Roche sur L’ognon (today Rigney) and co-founder (with Etienne de Traves) of theAbbey of Bellevaux in 1119.
He has three sons:
Pons de la Roche (?- 1156) 1er Abbot of Bellevaux
Hugh de la Roche (? – circa 1164) who married the daughter of Guillaume de Roulans.
Otto I of the rock, it was the name of Roulans

History
Bellevaux , Bella Vallis fut fondée par Pons I er de La Roche et Étienne de Traves en 1119, il s’agit de la première fille de l’ abbaye de Morimond et fut aussi la première abbaye cistercienne en Franche-Comté [ 1 ] . Bellevaux, Vallis Bella was founded by Pons I de La Roche and Etienne de Traves in 1119, it is the first daughter of the Abbey of Morimond and was also the first Cistercian abbey in Franche-Comté [1] .
La naissance de l’abbaye de Bellevaux coïncide avec l’apparition de la lignée des seigneurs de La Roche-sur-Ognon vraisemblablement issus des seigneurs de Scey et de Traves ; un domaine foncier lui est constitué avec l’aide des seigneurs de Cirey et de Chambornay [ 1 ] . The birth of the Abbey Bellevaux coincides with the appearance of the line of the lords of La Roche-sur-l’Ognon likely from the lords of Scey and Traves, an estate it is made with the help of lords Cirey and of Chambornay [1] .

De l’abbaye dépendent quatre granges en 1139, huit en 1178 (Cirey, Magny, Valleroy, Baslières, Trevey, Argirey, Champoux et Braillans – les deux dernières permettant des défrichages aux alentours) [ 1 ] . Abbey depend four barns in 1139, eight in 1178 (Cirey Magny Valleroy, Baslières, Trevey, Argirey, Champoux and Braillans – for the last two clearings around) [1] .
Otto (or Othon) de la Roche (died 1234) was a Burgundian nobleman from the castle of La Roche-sur-l’Ognon, in the Franche-Comté commune of Rigney, Doubs. He joined the Fourth Crusade in 1204 and became the first Duke of Athens.
He took the title of megaskyr or grand seignior in Athens. He held his Greek possessions from the King of Thessalonica. He fortified the Acropolis. In 1208, he took the title of duke.
In May 1209, the Latin emperor Henry called his first of two parliaments at Ravennika and Otto and his close ally Geoffrey I of Villehardouin made an appearance to demonstrate their loyalty to the emperor. On 2 May 1210, at the second parliament, the two barons ratified the pact between church and state, but he did little to effect it. He was accused of treating the Greek priests as serfs, since many of them were former serfs raised to their clerical status by Greek prelates desiring to lift the heavy burden the Franks could impose with their corvées on the local populace. Pope Honorius III excommunicated him and put his lands under interdict, as he did to Geoffrey for like disobedience to the pact. About 1223, Otto made a treaty with the pope by which he returned church lands, but kept church furnishings at the cost of an annual indemnity. A quota was also placed on the number priests proportional to the population of the community.
With Geoffrey, Otto embarked on a series of military adventures to consolidate mainland Greece. Together they took Acrocorinth (1209), Argos (1210), and Nauplia (1211). In compensation, he received two lordships in the Argolid: Argos and Damala. After the Italian crusaders Albertino and Rolandino of Canossa returned, their fief of Thebes was divided between Geoffrey and Otto. The city itself became Otto’s capital and the economic centre of his domains, due to its silk industry. He built a square tower, destroyed in the late nineteenth century, on the propylaea there and gave the city as a lordship to his nephew Guy. Athens itself remained Otto’s residence. There he lived in his castle atop the Acropolis, having converted the Parthenon into the Cathedral of Our Lady.
Otto established Cistercians from Bellevaux Abbey at Daphne. In 1225, he resigned the Duchy of Athens to his nephew Guy I de la Roche and returned home to Burgundy with his wife.
