Nangis is mentioned in 1157 in a bull from Pope Adrian IV under the name Nangiacus. Nant is a Gallic name meaning “valley”, Nangis dominates two valleys. In the Middle Ages, two strongholds, which could compete, shared the land of Nangis-en-Brie: the Châtel/Chastel de Nangis, and the Motte de Beauvoir or Beauvais (this second castle is the origin of the Town Hall, right in the center, close to the church; curiously, there is also Beauvoir about ten km to the NW). La Motte-Beauvais eventually won, and its power was dominant, shaping the development of the city. Works dealing with the issue often mix these two lordships. In 1507, the lordship of Beauvais-Nangis fell to the Brichanteau family through the marriage of Louis de Brichanteau with Marie de Veres, lady of Nangis (which she had inherited from her father Jean de Veres d'Amilly. In November 1612, Admiral Antoine de Brichanteau obtained letters relating to the union and erection of his lands into a marquisate, under the name of Marquisate of Nangis. For the stronghold of Châtel, we find an entire family known as Chastel/Châtel-lez-Nangis until 1471, followed by the Louviers who acquired it in stages from 1457 to 1476 and even beyond. Thus, Charles Louvier(s), lord of Chastelet, was lord of Châtel-Nangis, advisor to the Parliament of Paris, owner in Paris of Île-Louviers; he was the son of Nicolas Louvier, alderman of Paris, provost of merchants, ennobled by letters patent of Louis XI. The Raguiers inherited the fief (Antoine II Raguier, † 1532, marrying Jeanne de Louviers in 1506; Posterity, with possession of the Châtel de Nangis until the end of the 17th century); finally the Brichanteaus acquired this land to unite all of Nangis. Nangis was established as a town in 1544 by François I.
