It is ane o the regions creatit in the late 20t century tae serve as a zone o influence for its caipital, Nantes, ane o a haundful so-cried "balancin metropolises" (*métropoles d'équilibre*)¹. Ither examples o "airtificially created" regions include Rhône-Alpes, which wis creatit as the region for Lyon, an Midi-Pyrénées, which wis creatit as the region for Toulouse.

## Geography
Pays de la Loire is made up o the follaein historical provinces:

*a pairt o Breetany, wi its auld caipital Nantes contained athin the Loire-Atlantique depairtment. This is anerlie 20% o Breetany. The ither 80% o Breetany mak up the region o Breetany
*Anjou: is largely contained athin the Maine-et-Loire depairtment. The whole o the umwhile province o Anjou is contained inside Pays de la Loire.
*Maine: is nou dividit atween the Mayenne an Sarthe depairtments. The whole o the umwhile province o Maine is contained inside Pays de la Loire.
*a pairt o Poitou: is contained athin the Vendée depairtment. Maist o the auld province o Poitou is inside the Poitou-Charentes region.
*a pairt o Perche: is athin the northeast o Sarthe depairtment. The rest o Perche is inside the Basse-Normandie an Centre regions.
*a sma pairt o Touraine: sootheast o Maine-et-Loire depairtment. Maist o the umwhile province o Touraine is inside the Centre region.

Consequently, the name o the region, chosen bi the French central govrenment, wis no based on history, but purely on geographical references: *Pays* (i.e. "lands") *de la Loire* (i.e. "o the Loire River"). Housomeivver, the majority o the famous châteaux o the Loire Valley are locatit in the *Centre* region, an no inside *Pays de la Loire*, despite the confusin name. The *Pays de la Loire* present mony great monuments as the castles o Angers, Laval, Mayenne an the Nantes "Château des Ducs de Bretagne", the Royal Fontevraud Abbey (the widest monastic ensemble in Europe), the auld ceety o Le Mans, an an aw mony natural pairks such as the Brière an the Marsh o Poitou.

In 1287, Richard son o Richard de Seyton haed a manor hoose at *Horne* an in 1378 Sir John Seyton haed his caipital messuage here, although the manor wis reportedly valueless in 1376.  The land wis turned frae arable tae pastur, which haes been suggestit as the cause o depopulation.

There haed been a kirk, dedicatit tae Aw Saunts, but it too fell intae disrepair an new rectors wur instawed unner a thorn tree in 1471, an till the last appointment in 1809.

Horn is pairt o the Alstoe hunder o Rutland.
