January 1174: In 1173 the county of Lyon was divided between the Count and the Archbishop of Lyon: the Archbishop received the town and valleys (the County of Lyon), the Count the mountains (the County of Forez).
Disestablishment
January 1313: The passage is gradual but we generally retain the date of April 10, 1312 as the official attachment of Lyon to the kingdom of France thanks to the Treaty of Vienna by which the Archbishop of Lyon Pierre de Savoie abandons to King Philippe le Bel the sovereignty of the city and county of Lyon.
