3 unusual facts about Château de Montribloud


Château de Montribloud

Some have derived the name of Montribloud from Mons terribilis (terrible mount) as the site of a battle in 197 BC between Clodius Albinus and Septimius Severus to become Roman Emperor.

At the beginning of the 15th century, after the death without heirs of Eudes de Villars, Montribloud passed in 1418 to his grand-nephews, the sons of Jeanne de la Tour and of Jean de La Baume, Count of de Montrevel and Marshal of France.
