Collinebourg: Difference between revisions

Collinebourg was founded in the mid-1460s during the [[Conquest of Joanusterra]], centred around [[Collinebourg Castle]] which was under construction at the time. The settlement was made atop a tall hill overlooking a particularly narrow part of the [[Peritonne River]] that stretches from the [[Vollardic Mountains]] to the [[Vandarch]] Sea. Although the lands around Collinebourg were already settled by [[East Goths|Gothic]] peasantry, the first settlers to move to Collinebourg were [[Derian identity|Derians]], chiefly [[Bergendii]] people. These [[Bergendii]] settlers established the neighbourhood [[Bourgville]] immediately outside [[Collinebourg Castle]] itself. Crispinian de Burbindær became the first [[Castellan-Steward of Collinebourg]] in 1470, a form of supreme bailif to rule the city in the absense of [[Joanus de Martigueux]]. By Papal Bull, the [[University of Collinebourg]] was founded in 1479, also in [[Bourgville]], which drew in more settlers. [[Bourgville]] became enclosed within an outer stone wall in the 1490s, a ring wall as part of the [[Collinebourg Castle]]. Collinebourg at this time had already expanded beyond the confines of the hill on which the castle stood and was now covering both sides of the [[Peritonne River]] thanks to the emergence of ferrymen operating boats on the river. The [[Urcea|Urcean]] lord [[Niall Ermarco]] wrote of the importance of Collinebourg as a crossroads of commerce in 1502: "It lies between [[Ænglish people|the Angles]], [[Derian identity|the Derians]], [[Urcean people|the Urceans]] and [[Gothic people|the Goths]], and it belongs to the [[Grand Duke of Yonderre|King of the Goths]]".<ref>Laurent, S.: ''Collinebourg - a history'', Volinghaus Publishing, pg. 6-13. 2009.</ref>
