Geography

History

the Commanderie of Beauvais-on-Matha is famous to have been founded in 1151 by the templier Guillaume de Mauzé but the document which is used as a basis for this dating is discussed, because of the obvious anachronisms which it contains, and in particular the fact that two of the characters mentioned like present or alive at the drafting of the act actually died in 1136.

The first document considered as authentic date of 1231: it is there question of the commander of Beauvais, Elie brother of tirac or tirac (preceptor of Baszesio), witness for an act concerning the commandery templière of Épeaux with Meursac

In 1295 Guillaume the Court, middle-class man of Beauvais-on-Matha, bequeaths 200 grounds to Templiers of Beauvais, 100 for the local establishment, and 100 for their Holy Land works overseas. Item lego domui Templi de Bavesio centum solidos semel solvendos; item lego domui Templi de Bavesio centum solidos AD overseas subsidium ground sancte, semel solvendos
