Question: Were the Vuippens and Holy Romans allied? Passage:Gummenen Castle, of which nothing remains, was built by either the Counts of Burgundy or the Dukes of Zahringen as part of the defenses along the Saane, along with Laupen Castle and Grasburg Castle. The castle was built to defend a bridge over the river. By 1391, a village (villa inferiori Dicti castri) had developed around the bridge. In 1259, Peter of Savoy made Gummenen into an imperial fief and imperial castellans took over the castle and village. In 128283 King Rudolph I of Germany forced the Savoy castellan out and granted it to a Habsburg knight, Ulrich II of Maggenberg as a fief. Ulrich's heirs sold the castle, ferry and ford to Fribourg in 1319. Fribourg then granted the lands to the knights of Vuippens, who lost it back to either the Holy Roman Empire or Fribourg in 1325. The castle and village were besieged and destroyed in 1333 during Bern and Fribourg's first war over the Sense and Saane valleys, the Gummenenkrieg. The peace treaty brokered in 1333 by Queen Agnes returned Gummenen to Fribourg.
