PREVIOUS HISTORY.

By going back up(raising) the class(course) from time to the century of the lights, the magnificent decoration was already planted on Europe and this philosophic movement lit(enlightened) him(it) of all these fires. Voltaire, this prince of the spirit had conquered her(it) meeting no resistance and shone everywhere with his presence.

Why the lights? Some try to explain the thought of the philosophers of the movement. One comes there to doubt its existence, nevertheless she(it) exists. She(it) is one when one reduces her(it) to the big majorities on the reason, the passions, the nature, the experience(experiment), the check or the bad, the tolerance, the progress, the freedom etc....

She(it) is in essentially laic, anticlerical France.

In this agricultural civilization of the XVIII-th century any shanty, the disparities deteriorate(aggravate), the wealth accumulate, the industrialization begins to make speak about her(it). The progress pulls(entails) an always more complex social organization. The philosophers wonder so about the civil forms of constitution.

It gives two masterpieces;

The spirit of the laws " Montesquieu "
The social contract " Rousseau ".

The influence on the politics(policy) of institutions is doubtless. From Voltaire to Rousseau, from Sade to Diderot or Montesquieu to quote only those there. She(it) did not make the revolution, she(it) matured the speeches of it. Away from this intellectual activity the LOISON family, the rich farmers installed(settled) to MontaubÈ near Azannes's village, follow with interest the evolution of the agriculture. They will have two children, two threads. The elder son(brother) Joseph - Jacques was born on February 21, 1744, his brother FranÁois will follow him(it) by few on December 21, 1745.

In this XVIII-th century, France is engaged(opened) in many conflicts but the purpose is not the territorial extension. She should be afraid of much more increases than to aspire them and in 1777, Vergennes does not think otherwise. In 1772-73, France abandoned even the most advanced places of the Bishop's palace of LiËge.

Of his(her) father whom it(he) did not know, Louis XVI inherits the devotion, the generosity and the aversion of the new ideas. On the other hand, he will ignore everything of the Art of warfare and will underestimate the soldier. The brother Loison is of this generation and in this historic context, Joseph - Jacques and FranÁois sons(threads) of rather fortunate ploughmen can begin of brilliant higher education. Joseph - Jacques will go to the seminar and afterward will be vicar to Thill (village and church today disappeared). It is for it that one can say that... Loison was at first a vicar to Azannes before 1772 then cleaned out by Thill and Azannes, in the diocese of Verdun. FranÁois, later of brilliant studies in Metz and in the University of Paris, the Law Faculty where he proposed his thesis for the Doctorate: " Of the contract of freedom of speech ". Owner of the Royal Provost of Damvillers, councillor of the ROY he preferred to write poetries and sonnets in the small Trianon because, seen the social situation he cost, doubtless better not to undertake too much . In 1789, instead of the Count de Pouilly, it(he) is elected, delegated compensating of the Meuse(Maas) for the National Assembly. It(he) will contract marriage with Marie-ThÈrËse Patusset de Saint Germain. Louis Henri will arise from this union, on May 13, 1771 to Damvillers.

The revolution was going to increase the influence of FranÁois Loison and this fact Louis - Henri become a daddy's boy!. In return the favour which would enjoy, later Louis - Henri would allow to his(her) father to become Considerable important one. Become, successively, Judge in the court of its(his) district then Magistrate it(he) was named(appointed) to the civil Court of Bar-le-Duc. It(he) died in 1814.

Being Leblau.

The History known for Damvillers goes back up(raises) at the beginning of the VIII-th century while the territory was the property of the Archbishop of Trier. The origin of its name is bound(connected) to the presence of a convent and one of its priors, certain Villers then Damvillers(may Damvillers). The History during period included between XIV-th century and the XVII-th century was desired and Damvillers changed numerous times of suzerainty. In 1324, Jehan, King of Bohemia and Count of Luxemburg bought Damvilers whom he strengthened from 133O. Followed then a shady period where Burgundians and of Lorraine exercised their dominion. In 1477, the provostship(military police) became ownership of the house of Austria. In 1526, Charles le Quint, at the height of his conflicts with FranÁois 1-st, decided to make(do) of Damvillers, a key point of its defence and made a city of it strengthened. If, in 1558 , the town was resumed by the French army she(it) was from 1559, following Cateau Cambresis's treaty, given up in Spain. So, for a century, Damvillers was lived at the hour Spanish time. It(he) needed the treaty of Pyrenees of November 16, 1659 to see him(it) definitively, annexed in France. In 1678, Louis XIV made shave the fortifications of it. By going into the row(rank) Damvillers lost of its fame.

Today, of this fortified town it remains the " road of ramparts ". If the contemporary History was less rich in historic heroic deeds, it(he) does not there live less really that(than) by some of its celebrities the village kept(guarded) its name and a prestige. We shall quote: Jules Bastien Lepage ( 1848-1884 ) - painter and portrait painter. Marshal GÈrard ( 1773-1852 ), The professor Inhabitant of LiËge ( 1833-1908 ) Jurist and economist. The generals Loison, (1771-1816) and Saint RÈmy ( 1769-1841 ). This information was to me, kindly communicated by Damvillers's tourist information office.

Of a gilded(bronzed) youth Loison passes in the adolescence and it(he) receives a well-kept education of which it(he) does not take advantage. It(he) is loose and little studious. During this time the revolutionary idea advanced(moved) in big steps. And one would hear(understand) soon the other sounds of bells. The nobility redeemed(pensioned off) behind its threatened and controversial privileges undergoes the big metamorphosis(slough). What one will call pejoratively " the former(ancient) regime " will have soon lived and the History will end quickly in the summons of Etats-GÈnÈraux in 1789. The admirers of the English and American regimes would intend to create a limited and constitutional monarchy. On June 17, 1789, the Third state and the clergy the 19 proclaimed the "National Assembly". King gave up the 27. The assembly declared itself Constituent Assembly on July 9. 14 it was the storming of the Bastille. The notion of the word "patriotism" was going soon to take the another meaning and the young person Loison was going maybe to contribute to it. In 1791, a little while before the flight(leak) of King, volunteers of the national police had got up to defend(forbid) the regime against a possible attack of the European powers. The biggest contingents and most quickly supplied were by Departments borders of the North. It was a young troop, more than three quarters were less than twenty five years old. Encouraged by his family, Louis-Henri Loison leaves on September 15, 1791 as volunteer in the 2-nd battalion of the department of The Meuse(Maas) in the 29-th regiment of infantry ex-regiment of the Dauphins, then with garrison to Philippeville. On April 20, the declared war, France was soon invaded by the Austrians. The first fights ended in defeats.

Volunteers' new levyings were orderly. On July 11, the Homeland was declared in danger. Below, mister Loison's letter father to a high-ranking servant of the Realm, in favour of his(her) son.
