Comments: Macon is a large county in southeastern France, between Burgundy and Lyon. In ancient times a home of the fierce Aedui, under the Romans the area formed part of Lugdunensis. It passed to the Burgundians in the mid-5th century, and was not incorporated into the Frankish Kingdom until the late 6th century.
The division of Charlemagne's Empire in the 9th century found it briefly part of Lothringia, but by the end of the century it was firmly attached to France. The county is subject to the Ecclesiastical authority of the Archbishop of Lyon, but there is a Bishop in Macon proper. Aside from some industry and commerce in the larger towns, the county is largely agricultural.
