Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Saint Brisson sur Loire is a commune of the Loiret département in France. Chateau Chateau St. Brisson Sur Loire was founded by the Scotish clan Bryce (also Mac Farlane) in the 12th century. Brisson derives from Bryce's son (most probably). Given the historical date of the Chateau, ancestry of the founders and history of Scotland and France in their struggles against the English Crown, it may well have been that the Bryce's were on the losing end of the struggles related to the Kingship of Scotland and England and emigrated to France. This is conjecture as it could as easily have been that the Bryces were given the land in the English part of France, later liberated by Joan of Arc. The Chateau St. Brisson Sur Loire is currently a tourist attraction and is documented to the 12th century. The Loire Valley has a historic connection to French and English Kings. The Loire Valley contains numerous historic chateau's as well as famous for wines such as Pouilly Fume. This article is from Wikipedia.
