Melun

Melun is a collective in the Seine-et-Marne division in the Ile-de-France area in north-focal France. It is a southeastern suburb of Paris 41.4 km from the focal point of Paris. Melun is the prefecture of the Seine-et-Marne, and the seat of an arrondissement. Its occupants are called Melunais. Meledunum started as a Gaulish town; Caesar noted Melun as "a town of the Senones, arranged on an island in the Seine"; at the island there was a wooden extension, which his men fixed. Roman Meledunum was a mutatio where new ponies were kept accessible for authority dispatches on the Roman street south-southeast of Paris, where it forded the Seine.

Around 500 A.D, Clovis I conceded Melun to a Gallo-Roman head honcho, Aurelianus, who had battled for Clovis a few times and obviously affected his change to Christianity. The Normans sacked it in 845. The mansion of Melun turned into an imperial living arrangement of the Capetian lords. Hugh Capet offered Melun to Bouchard, his top choice. In the rule of Hugh's child, Robert II of France, Eudes, the tally of Champagne, purchased the city, however the ruler took it back for Bouchard in 999. The chatelain Gautier and his better half, who had sold the city, were hanged; Eudes got away. Robert kicked the bucket there in July 1031.
