Demography

History

The site of Fleurey is occupied by the man since the Neolithic , as attest it potteries found in shelters under rocks of the lanes of Hedge mustards , as well as an ancient hearth in the caves of Morceuil . Tumulus of the first age of iron (excavated by Mr. Jobard about 1902-1903) spread out these lanes parallel to, since the rocks in front of the allotment of the Coquelot until proximity of the bridge of the viaduct of the combe of End . At the locality Bas of the Petrel were then put at the day various objects of bronze, iron, flint, glass and the potteries. In the south, others tumulus (with the plane of Suzâne and the plane of Suzard ) seem to attest zones of habitat in the south-west of the Colombière (close to the old collecting for the first water conveyance) like near the source of the farm of Collonges . One can still note the presence of low walls nowadays besides (vestiges of 2 enclosures joined, on the edge of the plate, above Collonges ).

At the time Celtic, the part of current Fleurey in the north of Ouche concerned the Gallic tribe the Lingons (capital Langres) and the part in the south of Ouche depended on the community on the Séquanes . A road connected already Châlon to Châtillon by borrowing a ford on Ouche (about from the place of the current bridge) and another road connecting Dijon to Alésia (Sorb-apple-Holy-Queen) passed by the lanes of Hedge mustards , by Morcueil to gain Mâlain (site of Mediolanum ).

The Roman establishment is attested by the setting at the day (during work of collecting of the source of Morcueil by the town of Dijon) of many Roman currencies and fragments of pottery, and (at the XVIIIe century) by that of ancient lamps, sarcophagi and medals to the effigy of Roman Emperors: Néron, Claude, Vespasien, Maxime and Constantin. The troops of César, attacked by the Gallic riders in the wood of Pasques and Lantenay, obtain the assistance of German riders emerging from a height which is probably that of the Cocheron .

After the conquest, a Gallo-Roman villa is built on left bank of Ouche. Its localization is vague, but could have been with the foot of the Cocheron or more probably in south-west and very close to the current church, where were discovered the sculpture of a naked dancer and construction material remainders. Burials seeming to go back to this time were also put at the day in western edge of the old careers overhanging the road of Ancey, at the exit of Fleurey, vis-a-vis the current pumping station. One wonders about the correspondence of this old cemetery with the site of Barge , inhabited area quoted in documents of files. Florus , owner of the Gallo-Roman villa, gave its name to the locality mentioned as of the Life century (in the chronicle of Saint-Benign) under the denomination of Floriacus .

500 : The franques armies and Burgondes clash on the plate of “ Beuchail ”, in the North-East of the territory of the village.

586: The king of the Francs, Gontran yields Fleurey and his dependences to the abbey Saint-Marcel-the-Trawl-net, whose successive abbots became the lords and décimateurs. Gontran makes build a Saint-Marcel church and a residence for the monks, where they remain until 1318, date on which a community of English Benedictines comes to replace them. The prior of St-Marcel perceives a size of 50 books and the priory has the income of several grounds and 700 arpents (357 ha) of wood on the soil of Fleurey.
872: The Cartulaire of Saint-Marcel mentions Fleurey in these terms: “ Videlicet Villam Floriacus that dicitur sitam in Pago magnimontense ”.
937: Fleurey, Trawl-net and all the area of the valley of the Saone are devastated by a Hungarian invasion.
In 1742, an inn (held with Bridge-with-Pany since 1726 by Etienne Malteste and its wife Elisabeth Duvernois) becomes Relais of station on the new layout between Dijon and Auxerre. Bridge-of-Pany is the stage between Cude (in the east) and Heat (in the west). Elisabeth Duvernois, then widowed, thus reaches postmaster under , and will yield her function to her son-in-law, Nicolas Pélissonnier, whose descendants will ensure the postal service the horses until its suppression in 1872.

In 1794 and 1816, the relay functions with 15 horses then manpower will pass to 28 in 1834 to reach the maximum of 42 in 1839.

1765 : Very many weapons and quantities of bones of men and horses are discovered with “ Beuchail ” (on the site of the battle) during a clearing.
Mozart, having to give a concert of harpsichord to Dijon in front of the governor of Burgundy, the prince of Condé, on July 16th, 1766, would have made stage with the relay of Bridge-with-Pany .

the relay of station of Bridge-with-Pany accommodates for the night, the 16 ventôse year II, a group of 18 people stopped in Dijon. One of them will not join the revolutionary tribunal in Paris: Found bathing in his blood in the small hour, it is not known if there were suicide or assassination.

1807 : The fragments of an equestrian statue of Celtic or pre-Celtic time are discovered close to the old mill of Morcueil (entered probable of the road the old city of Mediolanum ).
