With the the Middle Ages, the ground is the property of the king Philippe V in 1320. The village is quoted in 1450 under the name of " Plessium-Gassonis". In 1521, Antoine Robert, notary and secretary of the king François Ier makes donation of all the grounds of the seigniory of Plessis-Gassot as well as church with the monks of the order begging for the guillemites of Paris or Blancs-Manteaux. The latter divide the seigniory with two other religious orders, the Ursulines of the street Saint-Jacob in Paris, and the ladies of Maubuisson, religious cistercians of the Abbaye of Maubuisson to Saint-Ouen-the Alms. The dependences of the village, Thiessonville and Saint-Leu-St-Gilles, were set fire to by the Huguenot S with the battles of Saint-Denis in 1567.
