- OISE. 1575. OFFÉMONT, Priory of SAINTE CROIX, at St-Crépin-aux-Bois (60). Enumeration of the religious, prior and convent of the Célestins de SAINTE-CROIX under Offémont to Haut et Puissant Seigneur Louis d'ONGNIES, Comte de Chaulnes (Louis d'ONGNIES, Comte de Chaulnes was Superintendent of Finances under CHARLES IX of France from 1561 to 1567). Done on 28th July 1575. Parchment (11.5 x 29 cm), remnant of seal affixed. (Isolated on the edge of the park of the castle of Offémont, are the ruins of the former Sainte-Croix priory . The priory had been founded in 1331 by John I of Nesle to preserve a fragment of the True Cross. Four Célestins from the abbey of Saint-Pierre-en-Chastres, in the forest of Compiègne, had been called for the occasion. The priory had been richly endowed by the lords of Offémont, who reserved their burial there. The Duke of Orléans founded a chapel there in 1403 and the priory also benefited, at that time, from the generosity of Gérard d'Arthies, Archbishop of Besançon, Lord of Moyencourt. The priory disappeared in 1779).
