History

On November 4, 1422, the bailiwick of Saint-Pierre rendered a sentence, compelling the inhabitants of the land of Poussery at the end of Montaron to ensure the lookout and guard at the castle Poussery, as requested by the lord of the place: Gaucher Courvol. This bailiwick rendered to the son of the latter, Philibert de Courvol, another sentence on 25 March 1451, authorizing him to pass the Ruaux stream in his meadow of Chaulgy. The city is stormed, then released by Joan of Arc on November 4, 1429. It was chief town of district from 1790 to 1795. During the revolutionary period of the National Convention (1792-1795), the municipality provisionally bore the names of Brutus-la-Vallée, Brutus-le-Magnanime and Brutus-le-Moutier.
