FR Elle est une des rares traces des anciens remparts de Boussac. Elle est bien visible de l’extérieur. Le seigneur Jean de Brosse a été le compagnon de Jeanne d’Arc ! Il l’a escorté sur de nombreux champs de batailles durant la guerre de 100 ans... Il a un peu délaissé son château durant tout ce temps, si bien que l’édifice était en piteux état et surtout, il a été pillé ! A son retour, pour compenser la perte de ses trésors, le seigneur demande aux habitants les plus fortunés de Boussac la somme de 1000 écus d’or. En échange, il les affranchi, ce qui veut dire qu’ils n’ont plus de taxes à lui payer ! Ça veut dire aussi que le seigneur ne les protégeait plus ! Les villageois ont donc dû construire eux-mêmes ces remparts, pour assurer leur défense !
EN It is one of the rare traces of the ancient ramparts of Boussac. It is clearly visible from the outside. Lord Jean de Brosse was the companion of Joan of Arc! He escorted him on many battlefields during the 100-year war ... He abandoned his castle a little during all this time, so that the building was in a pitiful state and especially, it was looted! On his return, to compensate for the loss of his treasures, the lord asks the inhabitants of the most fortunate of Boussac the sum of 1000 crowns of gold. In exchange, he frees them, which means they have no taxes to pay him! It also means that the Lord no longer protected them! The villagers had to build the ramparts themselves to defend themselves!
