The Viéville-in-Hague was ruined by the Messina army rabble at the time of the conflict of 1427-29 which opposed the city of Metz to the duke of Lorraine and his allies. Alarmed by Jean Griffon, Holy-Marie-with-Wood abbot which held the collation of the cure of Viéville, the duke of Lorraine Rene of Anjou ordered the restoration of this village by a charter gone back to 1436.Soixante-dix years later, this place was always ruined and vacuum of inhabitants.
