Maux (French pronunciation: [mo] ⓘ) is a commune in the Nièvre department in central France.[3]
History
[edit]The commune was formed from the merger of two parishes: Maux and Abon.
In 1260, Jean, a knight and lord of Châtillon-en-Bazois, donated his possessions in Urcey for the anniversary of his parents, including the fief held by the widow of Knight Gui de Digoine, also located in Urcey. He also mentioned properties in Montchamois, Vauzelles, Abbon, and Marzy. The Digoine family, which at the time held lands in Avallonnais (Marmeaux) and Auxois (Nan-sous-Thil) and was the lord of Coddes in Cercy-la-Tour, later moved to Charolais, settling in Moleron (Vaudebarrier).[4]
Demographics
[edit]On 1 January 2019, the estimated population was 144.
