Voulx History:

Voulx aka greeting; the patron Saint - Virgin and formerly (1789) eure-prioress of the order of St. John, the reform of Yves de Chartres. Of the great archdeacon, the deanery of Marolles, collator, the abbot of Saint-Jean-lez-Sens income, 1100 pounds. , 195 lights, 300 communicants (now 1783 inhabitants); lords, the monks of St-Jean, the Duke of Orleans, MM. Beauvais, and the abbess of TouIongeon Villechasson; Bailiwick of Nemours election and salt warehouse Montereau; custom of Lorris-Montargis. The town of Voulx is of Celtic origin, Voulx in the language of this ancient people, meant scythe (for mowing).

This beautiful church, built on the slope of a hill, watered by the Orvanne, which crosses three different places and the road from Montereau to Montargis, all houses are very clean and tastefully constructed.

The town is, as we have said, on Orvanne, a small river that originates in St. Valerian: if, as says the abbot Beranlt, the name of this river of Orvanne is not as poetic as the Scamander, its sources are so plentiful, so pure its waters, its borders as fresh and its surroundings as noble because, if the Scamander boasts the tomb of Achilles, is more than just Orvanne title, link to one of Conde.

Voulx is surrounded by walls flanked by towers, and surrounded by ditches and there were three and four doors posterns. These walls still exist in almost all locations, but the gaps are partly filled in the upper part where it was fairly pleasant walks, the other part is planted with poplars and is partly filled with water.

The city walls form an oval of about 5.360 feet in circumference, the walls are two feet thick, the moat 50 feet wide.

This town belonged in the twelfth century, the monks of the Abbey of St-Jean-lez-Sens, but fearing the humiliation of neighboring lords, Gilbert, third abbot of the monastery, by unanimous consent of its religious associations for the King half in this area, to protect and defend them against any insult, provided that he could not give her half the benefit of someone or some church whatsoever to the detriment of the Abbey of St. John. The religious reserved for themselves in addition to buildings and churches, with some tithes and the right to take in the woods, what they might need to repair their prioress of the monastery and Chevry en Serene. The charter that the king on this subject is dated Systhigiaci in 1155 (this link is unknown).

In the 12th century, the family possessed Fee Alps partly grounded Voulx, who possessed the manor of Villechasson, which was bequeathed to their sister Catherine Fee, prioress of Rosoy-le-Vieil, by his brothers died without heirs .

In 1555, Jean-Francois Jacques and the Allegrini, partly Voulx lords, appeared in that capacity in the drafting of the custom of Meaning and the priest, peasants and people of Voulx.

In 1560, Charles the Allegrini, lords, and master Jacques Danqueil, prior of Voulx, were also called to the drafting of the custom of Melun. Part of Voulx belonged to Lady Anne-powerful Prospero Cordier De Launay, wife of Count Tonlongeon, formerly Gaspard, a name he changed to that of Cheetah.

In the first division county of France, in 1790, this town was the capital of a district which depended Blennes, Dian, Moutmachoux, San Angelo, and Thoury-Ferrottes Villemaréchal. But in the year VIII, the township entered into one of Lorrez-le-Bocage, which then determined. But the church remained Voulx church parsonage and décanalc of the latter township. (He was a former priory-cure the Order of St. Genevieve. There was also this place in a Jesuit convent, and we see a modern castle, which is unremarkable).

This proves the importance of this place is the establishment of a former petty commodities market which is held on Thursday each week. Cities and towns only pouvoient enjoy this advantage.

Pringuemaud, Wood and Wood-Millet-Millet-hangers were fiefs situated in this county.

Tradition says that once existed outside the walls of a convent of Jesuits Voulx, there are different versions on his site: some put it to the east, others west, but always on the edge of the Orvanne, we actually found in both locations designated traces of buildings.

Dependencies Voulx: Nine villages: 1 Wood-Millet, which is a beautiful country house or cottage with terrace on the ridge, belonging to Mr. Baron Romain, a former prefect, and a mill to saw the board, which Mr. Corbin is the owner and there is little more than 50 years this mill was established to grind stone, and converted into a flour mill, and finally, since a few years in the sawmill, there are three saws put in motion by the CANX Orvanne: the mill depended Castle commonly known as the Castle or Pebbles Pebbles (Cailleau by the Cassini), probably because of first use of Celtic sawmill 2 La Bruyere; 3 ° Cornillière (the Cornillièrcs) 4 down the Charm, the top 5 of Charm; Pits 6, 7 on the Fullers Orvanne where there is a flour mill of the same name, belonging to M . Limosin; 8 Lichiot (Lischiau); 9 ° Limosin (Limousin) in which is a firm of the same name, belonging to Mr. Leblanc.

The mill belongs to Favenet said Mr. Thibault said that Latour, M. Roux, and Mill Voulx, MM. The heirs Boulault.

Voulx also includes a mansion and a large tile, newly built, tile and fireclay foxiques for Paris, a lime kiln, several years ago, a factory for ornaments of steel.

Lichiot - Wood Millet.

The track railway, established between Orvanne and Highway No. 19 on the embankment of the same road, passing in succession before the Fromenteau Brandons, Ferrottes, Chantemerle, and ISSA left Lichiot hamlet of greeting, Orvanne crosses in front of the park gate of Bois-Millet, castle belongs to Mr. De Pélicier which were lords in 1658, Hubert de Fierville (Notes Dorvet) and a century later, René-Jacques Cordier Launay, Treasurer General of the extraordinary war and controller of the light cavalry of the King's Guard. (Municipal Archives Montereau-Fault-Yonne, GG 129).

Suddenly we see greeting half hidden in a tangle of trees and greenery, greeting, charming country that its inhabitants honor the title of city, and the neighboring village of deal, but that traveler impartially, I will call Villette, taking the right word to the vocabulary of old Dom Louis. Here wishes! ...

Michelin, in his Historical Essays ... the department of Seine-et-Marne, P. 1830, claims that "the town of Voulx is of Celtic origin, Voulx in the language of this ancient people, meant scythe (for mowing). The Celtic is still good and if we wanted some etymologists believe every word of our language at least since the construction of the tower of Babel! That the names Orvanne, Dormelles Diant and are derived from Celtic, I do not deny, for greeting, I think it just comes from the Latin word intervals (valleys) which regularly gave countless Vaux and their derivatives exist in France. That the people greeting me so forgive them off Celtic illusion! Conduct of the Gallo-Romans is something, I think, and these are, of nobility rather old, older than the arms which bestowed the fertile imagination of one of my friends, their countryman, the armorial bearings which I shall return. It suffices, however, to justify the etymology I have indicated, to follow the successive transformations suffered by the original word through the ages. It is called greeting: Voas, the 9th century manuscript in the Royal Library in Stockholm is already mentioned: that is, as we see, almost like Vaux, which has prevailed everywhere; Look in 1132 in a charter of Henry Sanglier, Archbishop of Sens, and in 4152, in a bull of Pope Eugene the 3rd; Look again in 1230 in a sale by Ancel of Dormelles; Voys in 1293 in a deed made by William of Voys, official of Reims Voys also in Apulia of the Diocese of Sens, preserved in the Archives of the Yonne, G. 224.

From the late 12th century, however, and the diphthong oi had softened or, as in a charter of Louis VII, the current form appears under the heading Voes who has regularly devoted and You (found both in 1531, in the minutes of the custom of Lorris). Then greeting, as Noe and Noes gave Noue, Flashing, and finally encounter a few (Cantal, Loir-et-Cher, Saone-et-Loire, etc..).

We find the name greeting for the first time under the Latinized form "deVouxe" in a lousy Archbishop of Sens is stored at the National Library and I have already quoted. As for the letter L, no offense to the people of greeting, it is modern addition, quite modern and only appears in the early 19th century, told me Billard, notary clerk in greeting, which was good enough to provide interesting material for this little job. Indeed, in the Table of the department of Seine-et-Marne and the five districts that depend on it, printed in Melun, in Tarbé in 1790, we read on pages 27 and 51, wishes. The letter L we have added is a letter from the parasite and has no reason to be, not only in terms of tradition, but the etymological point of view. Moreover, it is wrong to pronounce greeting, we do not feel the x and in Vaux and should decide for Vu greeting as pronounced for Vaux Vau.

Our villctte had obtained in 1790, being the chief of a district that included the parishes of "Blennes, Chevry-in-Serene", "Diant, Montmachou, Saint-Ange-le-Vieil", "Toury -Férottes, Villemaréchal and greeting. Égreville, too, was the chief town of a canton, but in the year VIII, the two townships were merged into a town placed Lorrez, which is more central.

But I go back to ancient times. The Lordship of greeting appears to have been given, at least in part, by a gentleman whose name was unknown at the Abbey of Saint-Jean in Sens, based, or rather re-laurel crown in 1111. From December 23, 1132, a charter of Henry Sanglier, Archbishop of Sens, confirmed everything his predecessor had done for Daimbert Abbey of Saint-Jean, therefore keeping her in possession of several churches, which include the greeting of "See Eccles of Siam, in honor Sancte Dei progenitor. (Cartulary of the Yonne, I. 290.) Twenty years later, by a bull of 21 June 1152.1 e Eugenius third said taking custody of the abbey of Saint-Jean and all its churches, including that of greeting "ecclesiam Beatae Look for Mariae" (Archives of the Yonne, H. 15.).

Probably bothered either by its retainers, either by feudal lords in the area, the abbey sought to shelter under the protection of the royal authority. Accordingly, she offered to Louis VII in 1169, half of its areas of Chéro'y, greeting and Lixy the king agreed, but only if the other half would be under the safeguard royal. In this charter that is called Voes greeting. (Ar-chives of Loiret, K. 1350 Archives Yonne, H 433.)
