Benutzer:Zieglhar/Neuchatel-en-Bourgogne (Adelsgeschlecht)
Die Herren von Neufchâtel-en-Bourgogne (auch: Neuchâtel-en-Bourgogne) stammen aus Neuchâtel-Urtière im französischen Département Doubs in der Region Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
Diese Adelsfamilie gehört nicht zur Familie der Grafen von Neuenburg (Neuchâtel) aus der Westschweiz, wenn auch durch Heiraten einige weitläufige verwandtschaftliche Verbindungen bestehen.
Als Ahnherr des Geschlechts wird Richard I. von Montfaucon angesehen. Seit dem 13. Jahrhundert existiert die Herrschaft Neufchâtel.

D. SEIGNEURS de NEUCHÂTEL [en Bourgogne]
The territory of the seigneurie of Neuchâtel (often called “Neufchâtel”) in the county of Burgundy was located in the present-day canton of Pont-de-Roide-Vermondans, département Doubs, about 20 kilometres south/south-west of Montbéliard. It encompassed the town of L’Isle-sur-le-Doubs, the abbey of Lieu-Croissant, the priory of Lanthenans, and the castle of Bermont[282]. The family’s main castle was located at Neuchâtel-Urtière near Pont-de-Roide. The seigneurie had no connection with the medieval county of Neuchâtel (see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM-NEUCHÂTEL, VAUD, VALAIS, GRUYERE), which was centred on the town of Neuchâtel in the canton of the same name in present-day Switzerland. Muller notes that “le noyau des possessions familiales” was located “en bordure orientale du comté de Bourgogne, au contact du comté de Montbéliard” within the earlier Carolingian pagus of “le Varais” [pagus Warascorum, see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM INTRODUCTION][283]. The castle of Neuchâtel in Burgundy, of which no record exists before the 12th century, was built on a hill overlooking the village of Combe-d’Hians on the right-hand side of a royal road which led from Moulins to Basel, in the centre of the ancient seigneurie of Fermetey de Neuchâtel[284]. The seigneurie of Neuchâtel consisted of Fermetey, the prévôté of Mathay, and the villages located in the midi of the Lomont[285]. Muller reproduces locational maps and describes the territorial evolution of the seigneurie[286].
As will be seen below, uncertainties remain in the reconstruction of this family, especially in the earlier generations. Père Anselme omits numerous data points[287], while the versions offered by Richard and Loye in the 19th century are both unreliable. The more recent article by Dodivers, consisting mainly of a compilation from other sources especially Faget de Casteljau and Debry, is useful in highlighting primary source data omitted from earlier publications but appears to include no new research of his own[288]. The tables in Europäische Stammtafeln[289] do not seem any more reliable. More recently, Muller’s doctoral thesis at the university of Lorraine, while studying the family mainly in the context of its property-holdings, quotes numerous primary sources (located in various archive repositories and maybe unavailable to earlier researchers) which clarify many Neuchâtel family relationships as shown below. Muller broadly accepted that “malgré l’absence de sources justificatives” the bases of the reconstructions proposed by Faget de Casteljau and Debry are “solides”[290]. He reproduces a reconstructed genealogy of the Dramelay/Neuchâtel family compiled by Debry which includes more information than is shown in the reconstruction below, but unfortunately many of Debry’s details are uncorroborated (or even contradicted) by the currently available source material[291]. Debry’s information has therefore not been incorporated into the following reconstruction, which strictly reflects the currently available primary source material without attempting to plaster over the cracks.
