Summary
[edit]DescriptionAthée-sur-Cher (Indre-et-Loire) (14904016416).jpg |
Athée-sur-Cher (Indre-et-Loire) La tour du Brandon. La tour semble avoir été édifiée au XIIème siècle. Elle occupait à peu près le centre d'une enceinte fortifiée de de 45 à 50 ares. La muraille fortifiée, de 1,40 m d'épaisseur était elle même entourée par des fossés. La muraille existait encore en 1583, ainsi que l'indique un aveu* du 25 juillet 1583, par Louis de Rohan , seigneur de Montbazon. Dans le même aveu*, on apprend que la tour avait été "depuis longtemps ruynès en partie par les Anglais". La muraille d'enceinte a aujourd'hui disparu, sauf quelques éléments inclus dans une construction récente. Au mois de juin 1846, des ouvriers, en faisant des fouilles dans le voisinage de la tour du Brandon, ont mis à découvert un squelette étendu sur un banc de roc. En recueillant les ossements, on a trouvé parmi eux trente-trois pièces de monnaies d'empereurs romains Marc-Aurèle, Commode, Antonin le Pieux, et autres. Le premier seigneur connu du Brandon est Guillaume de Brandon (Guillelmus de Brandone) mort en 1205. La châtellennie du Brandon releva du château de Montbazon. (Archives d'Athée-sur-Cher) L'utilité de cette forteresses est assez obscure. Un hypothèse veut qu'il s'agirait plutôt d'une tour à signaux que d'un donjon. En effet, située sur un point culminant (97m au-dessus du niveau de la mer), elle pouvait transmettre des signaux aux châteaux de Montrichard (132m), de Montbazon (87m), de Reignac (96m), de Loches (124m), d'Amboise (107m), etc. A l'occasion de la construction de l'autoroute A85, des fouilles ont montré dans le secteur de la Tour de Brandon des occupations gauloises et gallo-romaines. (INRAP TH. GUIOT)
Etant écrit, l'aveu se distingue de "l'acte de foi et hommage" qui était un engagement oral d'homme à homme.
The tower appears to have been built in the twelfth century. It occupied approximately the center of a walled area of 45 to 50 acres. The fortified wall, 1.40 m thick was itself surrounded by moats. The surrounding wall has now disappeared, except for some items included in a recent construction. The first known lord of Brandon William Brandon (Guillelmus of Brandone) died in 1205. The castellany of Brandon was a vassal of the castle of Montbazon. |
