Upper Burgundy, with Oscheret, in the ninth century

In antiquity, Oscheret (pagus Oscarensis, French pays d'Oscheret) was the pagus (country) of the Lingones in the lower valley and plain of the Ouche. In the Middle Ages, the same region was a county (comitatus) of the kingdom of Upper Burgundy and an archdeaconry of the diocese of Chalon-sur-Saône.

Count Anscar and his family emigrated to Italy in the late 880s and he became Margrave of Ivrea there.
