Geography

In the text which it writes in 1883 on the commune of Autremencourt , subtitled Réponse to the geographical questionnaire , the teacher of the time, Mr. Dewatine, faithful in that to the ministerial instructions, gives invaluable information on the situation of the village: astronomical, geographical and territorial .
Nous let us learn indeed that “the territory of the commune is lain between 49° 41 ' 10" and 49° 43 ' 30" of northern latitude and between 1° 26 ' 10" and 1° 29 ' 30" of longitude is. The village in itself occupies the central part of the total territory and the various culminating points, which vary between 78 m and 140 m of altitude, are the following: the place highest corresponds to the plains of the ravaged Bois and to the Jardins of Certeau , ranging between the road n° 9 and the country lane called of Certeau; then, one is to 130 m, when one reaches the locality Moulin of Halots , in direction of the soil of Cuirieux ; one is to 115 m, when one follows the line of shared interest, the railway of the time, between Autremencourt and the farm of Éraulcourt ; and by taking the way which goes from Autremencourt to Toulis , before descending the coast, one climbs up to 106 m; finally, “in the middle of the point of the soil of Autremencourt located between the farms of Attencourt and Caumont ”, one is to 78 m of haut.
La surface of the territory of the commune is of 897,27 hectares, which divide then in the following way: 857,50 hectares from arable lands, 98,49 hectares of gardens and orchards, 93,50 hectares of wood, 5,22 of developed sites, roads and ways and 2,56 of savarts, careers and feeding troughs. As for the soils which confine with that of Autremencourt, there is in the east Voyenne and Marle , in the North-East Montigny-under-Marle , the east Neuville-Bosmont , south-east Cuirieux , the south Vesles-and-Caumont and finally in the west Toulis and Attencourt .
Le soil of Autremencourt has as a whole the aspect of a plain which comprises eminences and unevennesses. The rain water which it receives follows the points of declivity in the south-western direction of the river the Stock , to 3 km of Autremencourt, on the soils of Vesles , Brazicourt and Toulis . Already, at the time, very frequent rains were announced. The north-eastern part, highest, has a very soft slope. The grounds autremencourtoises are argillaceous, “a little cold admittedly but excellent for the production of wheat”.

“The contiguous portion with the soil of Neuville-Bosmont also includes/understands very good grounds, continues Mr. Dewatine; a little less argillaceous than the preceding ones, containing more silica, little or not of limestone and clean to the culture of all cereals. “It is not the same any more those bordering the soils of Cuirieux , Vesles and Attencourt ; they are, for major part, light or limestones; it is the least rich part of the soil. “Towards the west, confining with the soil of Toulis , still some pieces of lower quality appear, but it is the exception. The ground becomes again increasingly fertile while approaching the village of Autremencourt. “In north, bordering the soils of Voyenne and Marle , the ground if not more broken, is at least animated more. It contains argillaceous grounds and some limestones. One can thus conclude that the territory of the commune of Autremencourt can be indicated under the generic name of argilo-limestone . ”

History

Capital of the historical monograph, the village of Autremencourt is well-known the curious ones about local history of our country. Through the works published in the collection Monographs of the cities and villages of France, its name sounds high and strong: it returns to deep France which cultivates its traditions, without to be sulky modernity. And it is well as well as the locality appears, in this beginning of the 3rd millenium, in a harmonious cohabitation between the present and the past. That this village-crucible of the local history had, it was thus needed also, its monograph. It is thing made today. Admittedly, and the author recognizes it itself, the subject is far from being exhausted, but of the remote origins (Austremundi cortis or Ultra montem cortis) at the year 2002, of the historical stakes were posed: forest without mercy, which recovered all the area formerly, in Laonnois with agricultural prevalence of our XXIe century, which of traversed way!
Des shards of potteries, the Roman tiles and the medals to the effigy of the emperors was discovered with the locality of the Jardins of Certeau on the territory of Autremencourt, but the name of the locality (Ostremoncourt) is quoted, for the first time, only in 1018, in a charter of Adalbéron and it is in XIIe century that the first lord of the places, Renaud de Bidane, appears.
Lui will succeed Bernard, then his wire, Raoul, which will enter in conflict with the monks of the abbey of Saint Martin's day and Thomas which will live a warlike epopee, very far from Picardy, in the Greek fortress of Salona. It is the pioneer of a line seigneuriale autremencourtoise which will make career in soldiering, with the service of king de France: because so sometimes Yvon of Bôve (in 1593), companion of Balagny de Montluc, and Jehan de Perponcher, which strengthens the cemetery (in 1613), are present on their grounds, the lords of the places often operate on the battle fields (them Stoppa, for example), while Beat of Saxer, occupies its seigniory to him for the revolutionary period.
At all events, in XIVe, XVe, XVIe and XVIIe centuries (One hundred Year old wars, religion, Thirty Years, Spain or Holland…), Laonnois is unceasingly with the outposts more the devastators of the history and Autremencourt undergoes the common fate (attacks in the night from June 5th to 6th 1652).
As from the XVIIIe century, the files are much more eloquent on the daily life of Autremencourtois; on the properties, the various trades, habitat, lawsuits and facts.
In the same way at XIXe and the XXe centuries, periods during which the conflicts of 1870,1914-1918 and 1939-1945 again strike full Autremencourt whip and its area; the documents are there and the men testify. Then, since more than one half-century, the village resembles so that it should always have been: credit and quiet.
