[QUOTE="lovingkindness, post: 1090273, member: 7570"] Hi there [USER=7963]@mspath[/USER]. I have had lots of fun today rummaging about for information. If I find more I'll post again. Happy reading! Lovingkindness *Gallo-Roman statues and statuettes were found in Villejésus (pb. 1845).... [URL]https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k3046170j/f383.r=Villejesus[/URL] * Villejésus was a commandery of the Hospitallers of [URL='https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordre_de_Saint-Jean_de_J%C3%A9rusalem']St. John of Jerusalem[/URL]. It was established sometime before the 13th century. It was a vassal fief (homage lige) of the bishopric of Angoulême; part of the Grand Priory of Aquitaine, but close to the possessions of the order which were attached to the Grand Priory of Auvergne. [URL='https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commanderie_de_Villej%C3%A9sus_(Charente)'](From Wikipedia)[/URL] *Name changes: [ATTACH alt="Cassini map (18th century) Villejerus.jpg"]138625[/ATTACH] Cassini map (18th century): [B]Villejérus[/B] [ATTACH alt="Villejesus.

The name gradually followed their evolution and replaced the Latin vicus while city was maintained[/I]." *Etymology of[B] 'Jérus'[/B] Could it refer to Jérusalem i.e from L’ordre de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem? There is a blog online which suggests this... I wonder what the place was called in Gallo Roman times and if it is on an old map of Aquitaine? [/QUOTE]
