History
In the fourteenth century a castle was mentioned belonging to the House of Garlande, whose lords were Guy de Garlande (who still lived in 1186), Anseau Ier de Garlande (of which there is no title), Anseau II de Garlande (who lived in 1192), Robert of Garlande and Anseau III of Garlande (from 1246 to 1255). The lordship of Tournan (French: seigneur de Tournan) was purchased from Jean II de Garlande by Pierre de Chambly, chamberlain of King Philip IV, in May 1293 and yielded by him to Charles, count of Valois, in October of the same year.
