==History== | |||
===Foundation=== | |||
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]] farmers, 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. | |||
