The locality " Valley or vau Baddon" is thus attested since the time mérovingienne. In 1087, the lords of Valbadon and Quiry lined up under the banner of Guy, wire of the count de Bourgogne and Adèle of Normandy, aunt of Guillaume Bastard the to fight this last. The duke Guillaume of Normandy was victorious and the vassal ones were subjected. At the end of the 11th century, the lords of Valbadon accompanied the duke by Normandy, Robert Courteheuse with the First Crusade.
