History of Nancy
After having just written a one-paragraph capsule summary of Nancy, I realised that I should have translated the more detailed history in the French version of this web page. -- poslfit
poslfit: I'll edit it here until it's ready to move to the article:
Although many prehistoric settlements have been discovered in the plains surrounding the city, there does not seem to have been significant development of the current and historic city site before the Merovingian era, toward the end of the 10th century. There is a record of the ford over the Meurthe dating back to the 8th century, but the first written reference to Nancy was by the bishop of Toul in the charter of Pibon on April 29th, 1073: "Olry, advocate from Nancy" (Odelrici advocati de Nanceio). The name is likely of Celtic origin and cognate with Gaulish nant (swamp).
The birth of Nancy is associated with the construction of a feudal castle in the 11th century. Gerard, Duke of Lorraine built a town which would quickly became the ducal capital of Lorraine under his successors.
In
Charles III, Duke of Lorraine upgraded the town's fortifications and built the Ville Neuve and the first primatiale, which later became the cathedral.
In
. The early 18th century saw the construction of a new primatiale, the opera, the church of Saint Sebastian and new town walls.In
