[2] Some time before 1200, the Barons of Aigle ended up as vassals of the powerful Counts of Savoy.

In 1232, Count Thomas of Savoy granted Aigle as a fief to the brothers Jacob and Peter of Saillon in exchange for their ancestral castle in Valais.

[2] After the war, the Compey family were unable to recover their title to the town or castle.

The representatives of Bern resided here until the French invasion and creation of the Helvetic Republic in 1798.

[2] Today the castle is home to Musée de la Vigne et du Vin (Vine and wine museum).
