Grounds of suspension
One calls grounds of suspension territories at the border of the departments of current the Haute-Saône and the Vosges, coveted during several centuries by the Comté of Burgundy and the Duché of Lorraine, between 1508 and 1704.
In 1508, after investigations, meetings, the controversy could not be distinct. The two powers thus decided to postpone a final payment of the litigation.
In 1614, the treaty of Fontenoy-the-Castle divided the disputed territories: the Coast-the-Fontenoy, Montmotier, Magny, Trémonzey, the Monthureux-on-Saone were recognized in the county of Lorraine, whereas Fougerolles was allotted to the county of Burgundy. But the treaty was not recognized in the facts and the controversy will perdura.
After the fastening of the Burgundy in France, the blur persisted on these territories, in particular Fougerolles and the Valley of Ajol.
It is only with the Traité of Besancon signed the August 25th 1704 between Louis XIV and duke Léopold of Lorraine that the border was fixed. Small ferns was thus allotted to the France and the Valley of Ajol to the Duchy of Lorraine.
