Le Château de Beaufort en Vallée.

L’origine de Beaufort-en-Vallée se situe au lieu-dit St Pierre du Lac, ancienne cité lacustre.

Vers 1230, les auteurs du Lancelot en prose (XIIIe siècle), situent à Beaufort-en-Vallée la colline où meurt Ban de Benoïc, le père de Lancelot, ainsi que le Lac de la fée Viviane.

Saint-Pierre-du-Lac, à Beaufort-en-Vallée, est désigné comme le lieu où Viviane a élevé Lancelot.

Le village s'est ensuite déplacé vers la butte, ancien oppidum gallo-romain. Cette situation stratégique permit la construction, à partir du XIème siècle, de ce château fort.

En 1347, Guillaume Roger, seigneur limousin, frère du pape Clément VI, devient le premier comte de Beaufort. Il mettra dix ans pour reconstruire le château ruiné (1356).

Pendant la guerre de cent ans, le château est investi par les Anglais puis repris par Duguesclin et le seigneur de Maillé.

Au milieu du XVème siècle, Jeanne de Laval épouse du Bon Roi René (René Ier d'Anjou), complète le château d'une nouvelle tour octogonale (1459).

Après la mort du roi René le 10 juillet 1480, Jeanne se retira dans le château de Beaufort où elle passa les 18 dernières années de sa vie. Elle y mourut le 2 janvier 1498. Son corps fut déposé dans l’église Saint-Maurice d’Angers.


Castle Beaufort en Vallée.

The origin of Beaufort-en-Vallée is located at a place called St Pierre du Lac, ancient lakeside city.

Around 1230, the authors of the prose Lancelot (thirteenth century), located in Beaufort-en-Vallée hill where Ban Benoïc dies, the father of Lancelot and the Lake of the fairy Viviane.

Saint-Pierre-du-Lac, to Beaufort-en-Vallée, is designated as the place where Viviane raised Lancelot.

The village is then moved to the hill, ancient Gallo-Roman oppidum. This strategic location allows the construction, from the eleventh century, this castle.

In 1347, William Roger, Lord Limousin, brother of Pope Clement VI, became the first Earl of Beaufort. It will ten years to rebuild the ruined castle (1356).

During the Hundred Years War, the castle was invested by the British and then taken by Du Guesclin and the lord de Maille.

The mid-fifteenth century, Jeanne de Laval wife of Good King René (René of Anjou), complete the castle a new octagonal tower (1459).

After the death of King René July 10, 1480, Joan retired to the castle of Beaufort, where she spent the last 18 years of his life. She died Jan. 2, 1498. His body was deposited in the church of Saint-Maurice d'Angers.
