Vaud lordships

The map in this article shows Burgundian "islands" in Vaud (Switzerland). Also, fr:État bourguignon#Composition territoriale lists 6 "Seigneuries bourguignonnes du Pays de Vaud": Grandson, Orbe, Cerlier (aka Erlach), Échallens, Planfayon (aka Plaffeien), and Bottens. These appear to be the islands on the map. Neither the map or the fr.wp article cites a source.

As far as I can tell, these aren't actually territories of the dukes of Burgundy themselves but belong to a noble family that happened to originate in Burgundy, the House of Chalon. Vaughan refers to the "Chalon lordships in the Vaud" and seems to include in that Erlach (Cerlier), Grandson, Échallens and Orbe.^[1] (Several modern historians cite a 1926 work about Louis II of Chalon-Arlay with the title Louis de Chalon, prince d'Orange, seigneur d'Orbe, Échallens, Grandson 1390-1463. by Frédéric Barbey^[2]) Scott refers to Erlach (Cerlier) as a Savoy lordship granted to the counts of Chalon^[3] and the counts of Chalon losing their fiefs of Grandson and Orbe-Échallens in 1484.^[4] Admittedly WP:OLDSOURCES, an 1877 work refers to Hughes de Chalon (Louis' son) as Lord of Bottens, as well as of Échallens and Orbe,^[5] and the 1890 Encyclopaedia Britannica, says Planfayon/Plaffeien belonged to the House of Savoy until 1475.^[6]

So, in summary, this is the rationale for not including the Vaud lordships in the list in this article. DeCausa (talk) 10:56, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
