History

The place was a fief of a branch of the house of Courtenay. This line became extinct in 1472 with John IV of Courtenay Champignelles.

Louis René de Rogres de Lusignan, who was born 1705 and died 1784 in Champignelles, Vogt was of Champignelles. His daughter Marie - Adelaïde married Marquis Louis -Joseph de Douhault the Château de Champignelles on August 28 in 1764. She died on January 17, 1788 what her brother Armand -Louis de Rogres de Lusignan gave the whole inheritance, the title of bailiff of Champignelles and the municipalities of Château- Renard and Lorris. A few days later, a woman, possibly Anne Buiret for Adelaïde -Marie de Douhault gave and gave to her brother tried to kill her in order to receive their inheritance. She was imprisoned from 1786 to 1789 in the Salpêtrière. She eventually filed a very well-known at the time process, during which they were awarded some possessions, although the case was never really clarified. The court ruled that it was neither Buiret nor the Marquise, and she became known as an example of an unnamed person, la femme sans nom. It is believed that it provided the template for Wilkie Collins thriller The Woman in White ( 1858). Louis Armand de Rogres de Lusignan fled in 1792 before the minions of the French Revolution, was pardoned in 1793 and returned back. He died in 1803. The woman who claimed to be his sister died in 1832.

The place was called until 1801 Champignelle.
