Le Muids is first mentioned as a barn (dependent upon the abbey of Oujon) in 1250. Settlers were granted land (for farming) in Arzier by the abbey of Oujon in 1304. In 1536 control of the region, and of all of the lands of the abbey were lost to a conquering duke from Bern. This duke wasn't appreciated because he did not let each village govern itself, causing numerous problems and much discontent. Less than a century had past before the Brennards and Rafi lost their patience and stopped farming altogether, descending into extreme poverty.

Vich is a municipality in the district of Nyon in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland. History Vich is known to have been a paleolithic settlement, only to have been abandoned in the Neolithic, although the area was certainly exploited by people from the settlement of nearby Gland. Although traces from the Bronze Age have been found in the vicinity, and the site that was to become Vich found itself strategically situated on the ''Vy de l'Etraz'' - the Roman paved road (albeit with prehistoric antecedents) from Nyon to Orbe - there is no archaeological evidence or mention of a village until 1165 when the church of Vich (''ecclesiam de Vizo'') was given by the Lord of Begnins to the Cistercian abbey of Bonmont. The lordship of Vich changed hands several times during the following centuries, from Besançon to Cossonay, Prangins and Savoy, and from 1218 onwards, Vich, and some of its inhabitants, are well-documented. In 1536 the ''Pays de Vaud'' was taken by the Bernese who r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
