Chauvirey

The Chauvirey were seigneurs of the Terre de Chauvirey in the county of Burgundy, a fief near Vesoul grouping the villages of Chauvirey-le-Vieil and Chauvirey-le-Châtel. A member of the house built the castle of Chauvirey-le-Châtel in the thirteenth century, and the family's strongholds held out against a French attack in 1475.
