Origins[Edit  |  change the code]

Coat of arms of the House of Rougemont in Bugey.

Some authors such as  Samuel Guichenon[6], Genealogist of the Roy Bresse, Dombes, Bugey, Valromey, had opinion that this House could have a common origin with the County of Burgundy (hereditary Viscounts of Besançon)  House of Rougemont  , whose weapons are  ‘ gold Eagle displayed gules, beaked, Member [and crowned] azure».  However, no title “domestic” could not be found to confirm or refute this relationship, for which are nevertheless well presumptions[Note 1].

The first traces of the Lords of Rogemont date from the end ofe  century with the presence of André de Rogemont  XI[6],[7]Knight, vassal of the House of Baugé (Bagé), who is quoted as a witness and guarantee at the signing of a treaty passed to 1106 between Gaulseran IX de Baugé and the Bishop of Mâcon.  During the installation of the carthusians at Meyriat[Note 2]  near Nantua (Bugey, Ain) in 1116, Rogemont warlords were already owners of their lands[8]  and paid tribute to the  House of Thoire.

Through the ages and the wars, the House of Rougemont was successively vassal houses  of Coligny,  Thoire-Villars,  Savoie, and the  Kings of France  finally.

Note that the  Lordship  of Rougemont was built first in  Barony  before be erected in  marquisate  by letters patent of Louis XIV in June 1696.  It depended on the order of  Saint-Rambert  and was part of the diocese of Lyon, and not from Geneva or Belley as the other villages in the plateau ofHauteville[Note 3].

In his time,  Samuel Guichenon, genealogist of the Roy  Bresse,  Dombes  ,  Bugey,  Valromey, had opinion that the family of Rougemont “is of the rank of those who did not lack preface because his seniority […]»  “and other marks of honor speak easy for her.  The House of Rougemont in Bugey is nobility of knightly extraction;  its quality is so specific to the breed.  Evidence of power and wealth in the middle ages, all members of the family were armed knights as shown by the various documents of the time.  Some of a Lord of Rougemont in Bugey was first at the beginning of the  XIIe  century with Guillaume de Rogemont, Knight, probably son of André de Rogemont, Knight, quoted in a treaty in 1106[6].

Here are some elements of evidence ofknightly extraction  of the family[Note 4]  :

  • February 5, 1230, the recognition of Garnier de Rougemont made at Philippe the bold through the Amédée County of Savoy confirms that this family is ‘Noble origin ‘.[10].
  • A Charter of April 1247 shows Josserand de Rougemont hired in the chapter of the Church of Saint-Paul de Lyon, sixth of the tithes of Aranc, renewed convention in 1248.  Another Charter was signed between Guy de Rougemont and the chapter of St. Paul about the tithe of Aranc between 1248 and 1265.
  • In 1254, Garnier de Rougemont ceded land owned within Meyriat,  Corcelles  and Ferrières in these same chartreux.  The tribute will be followed in 1273 by Guillaume de Rougemont, for its houses Rougemont and  60 floors  of Vienna’s annual pension.
  • Tribute to Guillaume de Rougemont is renewed in 1301. with more that of Bartholomew of the  June 3, 1301  with “reserve of what he owed the overlord” and then Bo de Rougemont  20 June 1301.  Jean recognised at the same date  lige man  of the sires  de Thoire-Villars, and then followed the brothers Guillaume and Jean  18 October 1301.  1er  may 1311, Bartholomew is also recognized lige man of the same sires.
  • By letters patent of  November 9, 1319[11]Humbert de Thoire-Villars granted to Bartholomew de Rougemont, with all justices on its men and its land, to develop  sinister forks.  In 1336, Pierre de Rougemont made tribute to Humbert for the castle of the Veliere to  Izenave.  March 23, 1343, Bartholomew de Rougemont gave his strong House to his Overlord and received the allegiance.
  • 12 February 1392, Jean de Rougemont, Knight, made tribute to Humbert de Thoire-Villars to his Castle and village of Rougemont with all justices.  etc.

In addition, the book  catalogs and arms of gentlemen who attended the holding of the States General of Duchy of Burgundy, approved on the last page by Messire d’Hozier, referred to the nobles from 1548 to 1682.  It is in 1626 is present for the first time the family of Rougemont,  Bugey  and  Pays de Gex  was attached to the Duchy as in 1601.  Evidence of nobility of the family are made repeatedly in 1618, 1668 and 1670[12].  On  June 28, 1618, the confirmation of nobility of the family of Rougemont is established including from documents dating back to 1466, citing among other members of the family, Rogemont Aymé, Knight, entitled to justice on the parishes ofAranc  and  Corlier.
