Toy-Viam (French pronunciation: [twa vjɑ̃]; Occitan: Autoire Viam) is a commune in the Corrèze department in central France.
History
Around the year 1060, as the beneficiary of a donation by the Viscount of Aubusson, the Abbey of Tulle built a church on the site to make it the center of a new parish.[3]
Around 1088, Viscount Ramnulf of Aubusson confirmed the donation made by his father of the church of Altoire and its dependencies. That same year, at the request of the monks of Tulle Abbey, the Viscounts of Aubusson and the Counts of Marche agreed to "give their forest (sylva) known as Altoire with all the cultivated and uncultivated lands dependent upon it." By 1091, texts already mention the tithe of Altoire and no longer just that of Tarnac. Within about ten years, a parish was thus formed around the Church of Saint-Jacques d'Altoire, the boundaries of which defined a sort of enclave of 993 hectares (2,450 acres) on the border zone of the parishes of Viam and Tarnac. The boundaries of this parish of Altoire correspond today to the commune of Toy-Viam. In fact, the new village was the seat not only of a parish but also of a priory dependent on Tulle Abbey and held in 1106 by two monks, whose possession was, however, immediately and violently contested (1106–1107) by the Cluniac monks of the priory of Bort.[4]
