Cuillé

Cuillé is a common French, located in the department of the Mayenne and the area Pays of the Loire.

Geography

The commune of Cuillé is located at the limit of the department of the Mayenne, more precisely in the North-West of the Mayenne angevine. This common forms historically part of the High-Anjou.

Cuillé is located at 10 km of Guerche-of-Brittany, with 19km of Craon, 20 km of Vitré, to 28 km of Pouancé and to 29 km of Laval.

History

Part of the parish depended on the baronnie on Pouancé, the other this that of Craon. The village of Cuillé depended on the Sénéchaussée of Angers. At the time of the Duchy of Brittany, at the time of Of Guesclin, Cuillé, like Gastines, Laubrières, Saint-Pitch and Méral, was located at the limits of the baronnie of Guerche and the Breton parish of Genoa-on-Cuttlefish located in Ille-et-Vilaine. The parish of Cuillé held the north-western end of the Anjou and raised of the Diocèse of Angers. The Romance church of XVesiècle, located at 500 meters only of the Breton border, had two vaults in the transept: one in north, that “of Breton”, the other in the south, that “of Angevins”. At the the Middle Ages, Genoa and Cuillé were located Cuttlefish already on both sides, but this river very close to its source did not have the ambition there to play the part of border. It became only limiting of gabelle. It was consequently necessary to dig undergrounds to convey Breton salt with Cuillé, illegally but at suitable price. The dependence of Cuillé to the baronnie of Pouancé, starts with the marriage of Guillaume of Guerche with Emma, girl of Gautier Hai de Pouancé. In Cuillé the cross of Entrehaie is. In XVesiècle, the lord of Pouancé ritually had, to pass in this frontier place between the two seigniories of Guerche and Pouancé, in order to make sure of the maintenance of his prerogatives on this border zone between Anjou and Brittany, (the Cross of Entrehaie, was located at the limit of the communes of the Saddle-Guerchaise and Cuillé, along the way of Guerche with Laubrières). Under the Old Mode, the offset villages of the High-Anjou, maintained bonds permanent between them (Cuillé, Laubrières, Méral, Craon and Pouancé). The posts of seigneuriaux officers of the baronnie of Pouancé were regularly raised and exchanged while permuting between Cuillé and Pouancé.

The municipality of Cuillé issued a certificate of patriotism to him. But that did not protect its castle against the flamers which reflect fire there on June 25th, 1791 and from which it came to contemplate the ruins, in Cuillé, in next January.
