TOWN PRESENTATION
  • Why the exemption? That's the question everyone asked was: Why "free". Two explanations are given in the book of Bishop Auvity.
  • First explanation: Columnists modern building on the spelling of the word "the officer" concluded that this nickname was the index obtained franchises in the Middle Ages. They assumed that in times of incessant wars or civil or invasion, or religious, the winner whose first care was to impose exorbitant tributes often was able to support the courageous actions manifested in his favor by residents, exempt from heavy loads. They would have perpetuated the glorious memory by obtaining permission to join the original name of their city that the "free". Unfortunately this is a purely gratuitous assumption, and we'll see how it is not sustainable, by studying the "custom Germigny.
  • Second explanation: the word "freedom" seems to derive its origin from the small stream that flows through the town. It was formerly designated as the less or Glossy. We can follow through the ages the different transformations of the name. In the 12th century, writes: Germigny-in-less. "Raoul 2nd acquit Herve, Count of Nevers lands and castle Germigny-in-Less (Inventory of Historic Abbe de Marolles BabyDROPS of Donzy). In the cartulary of the Abbey Fontmorigny it comes to the châtellerie Germigny-in-Luisa (1478). François 1st, in some letters, canceled in favor of Babou de la Bourdaisière, the shock which, under the shadow of a royal commission, had been practiced on the land-in-Germigny Luiss, which had belonged to Charles de Bourbon (Amboise, December 12, 1526 - Letter once in the hands of Mr. Roubert). In the burrow Sancoins we find: Germigny-in-Luys (cf. Arch. Du Cher B) 1499 . Germigny Lexamp (1621) (cf.Archives the Lordship of Guerche). Guy Coquille, in his history of Nevers in 1672, offers in-Germigny Laixa. Archives of Villequiers give in 1724 Germigny-en - the officer. In Puglia the diocese in 1592, 1621.1648, found the current form: Germigny-l'Exempt.
