Coins from the Lordship of Vauvillers

Around 1360, Perrin de Bauffremont, lord of Montdoré, divided his lands between his four children. To his daughter, married to Henry of Chatelet, the lands on the right bank of the Côney were allocated, they were part of the Duchy of Lorraine. Gauthier, his son, returned the lands of the left bank and the current town located in Burgundy: thus was born a Co-Lordship, partly in Lorraine and partly in Franche-Comté, a place of passage and exchange conducive to business. It was impossible to establish the border between the two duchies and Vauvillers entered into a de facto reprieve-independence from 1477 and this for more than one hundred and thirty years. This situation favored an unusual legal independence, we speak of “sovereigns of Vauvillers” possessing sovereign rights: right of high justice, right to mint money.
