Mévouillon

Mévouillon gave its name to a powerful barony among the mountains between Dauphiné and Provence. Its lords held a network of castles and settlements in the country known as the Baronnies. In 1317 the barony passed to the dauphin of Viennois, joining the neighbouring lands already under his authority. When Dauphiné was transferred to the French crown in 1349, Mévouillon entered a larger realm, although its mountains retained the name of their old barons.
