Summary "Lauranne" by Francis Henry Gribble is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work primarily delves into the rich and complex history of Lausanne, a city in Switzerland, as it explores the socio-political dynamics under various influences, such as the Counts of Savoy and later the Bernese. The narrative details significant historical events and figures that shaped the region, making it a valuable resource for readers interested in Swiss history. The opening of the book introduces the governance of Lausanne under the rule of Savoy and Berne, noting that Geneva developed relatively independent from these influences. The narrative describes the nuanced relationship between the Counts of Savoy and the local populace, highlighting the circumstances of life in the city during these times. Gribble emphasizes key figures, such as the remarkable Peter of Savoy, who introduced progressive practices despite the overarching control. This section sets the tone for a detailed exploration of Lausanne's transformative historical journey, setting up the reader for a deeper understanding of the region's evolution over the centuries.
