History of Nancy
After having just written a one-paragraph capsule summary of Nancy, I realised that I should have translated the more detailed history in the French version of this web page. -- poslfit

poslfit: I'll edit it here until it's ready to move to the article:

Although many prehistoric settlements have been discovered in the plains surrounding the city, there does not seem to have been significant development of the current and historic city site before the Merovingian era, toward the end of the 10th century. There is a record of the ford over the Meurthe dating back to the 8th century, but the first written reference to Nancy was by the bishop of Toul in the charter of Pibon on April 29th, 1073: "Olry, advocate from Nancy" (Odelrici advocati de Nanceio). The name is likely of Celtic origin and cognate with Gaulish nant (swamp).

The birth of Nancy is associated with the construction of a feudal castle in the 11th century. Gerard, Duke of Lorraine built a town which would quickly became the ducal capital of Lorraine under his successors.

In 1216, Duke Theobald I (of Lorraine) sided with Erard I, Count of Brienne in a war over the succession of Theobald IV of Champagne. Since Theobald I's suzerain, Emperor Frederick II supported Theobald IV's claim, Frederick II took and burned Nancy and imprisoned Theobald I. On Theobald I's death, his widow, Gertrude of Dagsburg, married his rival, Theobald IV. Theobald I was succeeded by his brother, Matthias II who was forced to give Nancy to Gertrude; the city reverted to the duchy after Gertrude died without issue in 1225.

Charles I, Duke of Burgundy died on January 5, 1477 at the Battle of Nancy, when René II, Duke of Lorraine successfully broke his siege of the town. An inscription in the pavement on the Grande Rue commemorates the event. René II is also remembered for (re)constructing the city walls and building the Église des Cordeliers.

Charles III, Duke of Lorraine upgraded the town's fortifications and built the Ville Neuve and the first primatiale, which later became the cathedral.

In 1633 the city was besieged by the French, who occupied it during the Thirty Years War from 1670 to 1697. The early 18th century saw the construction of a new primatiale, the opera, the church of Saint Sebastian and new town walls.

In 1737 Francis III, Duke of Lorraine was persuaded by his father-in-law Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI to exchange the duchy of Lorraine for the grand duchy of Tuscany. Charles VI installed Stanislaus Leszczyński, the newly deposed king of Poland as the duke of Lorraine. Francis eventually went on to become Holy Roman Emperor. Stanislaus built what are now known as Place Stanislaus and Place de la Carrière. On his death in 1766, Lorraine became a French province.
