Notes: The Maison forte du Chanay is a former stronghold of the late fourteenth century, in the Middle Ages, the center of the Lordship of Chanay, the remains of which stand in the town of Cruet, a French commune in the Savoie department in region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The site was occupied very early; was found in the soil of a tumulus, a bronze sword from the period of Hallstat, dated 500 BC. AD ..
The stronghold of Chanay with the castle of Verdun-Dessus and strong houses of the shore, and Chaffard, all located in the town of Cruet, constituted an important defensive set.
It is the possession of the family of Poypon, related families of Verdon and Mouxy, with Antoine de Poypon which is the cause of the branch of Chanay, who lived in 1396.
