History
Carignan was, under the name Epoissium, Eposium, Epusum or Ivosium, a military settlement of the Romans. Gaugericus, bishop of Cambrai, was born in Eposium around 550. As Yvois, it was part of the Duchy of Burgundy in the 15th century. It changed hands between the Habsburg Netherlands and France several times, until it was assigned to France by the 1659 Treaty of the Pyrenees. The town was given as a lordship to Prince Eugène-Maurice of Savoy-Carignan, and renamed Carignan in 1662.[2]

gollark: Apparently the currently-being-tested single-file version of potatOS contains 5000 lines of bundler output.
gollark: AAAAAAAA WHY IS VSCODE'S INDENTING THING SO USELESS
gollark: Also, it looks like I might be able to ship potatOS as not quite a single file.
gollark: I decided to actually install a Lua plugin for my IDE, and it seems to have dredged up a few minor bugs in potatOS because of undefined globals.
gollark: No, since that *could* just be constantly 20.
