history
Place name
The place name was originally mentioned as Esprevilla ( undated ). There are several localities with this name in Normandy, Martainville-Épreville , Épreville ( Sprovilla around 1025), Épreville-en-Roumois (today: Flancourt-Crescy-en-Roumois ) and Épreville-près-le-Neubourg and nowhere else. François de Beaurepaire sees the place name in a connection with Épretot ( Pays de Caux , old Scandinavian -topt, -toft , country estate, farm '> -tot ) and with English place names such as Sprotbrough (original Sproteburg , South Yorkshire ) and Sproatley ( East Riding of Yorkshire ). Most often the first part of a place name in -ville is the name of a man, and here it could have been Sprot (mentioned in the Domesday Book ) (this name is known as Sproti in the Faroe Islands ). In Old French, the final consonant (here the [t] of Spro-t ) came before the consonant [v] of the syllable [vil]. But it is also possible that the English place names with part Spro (a) t- are derived from the Germanic word Sprotte for ' sprout ', which is unlikely in the case of Épreville.
Middle Ages and Ancien Régime
In the Middle Ages there was a motte and a castle with a drawbridge in Épreville-en-Lieuvin. The village was first mentioned in 1112. The pastor at the time testified to a contract. In 1140 the Seigneur Roger d'Epreville was named in a contract. Around 1210 the fiefdom of Epreville fell to Richard d'Harcourt . In the 15th and 16th centuries it belonged to the Trousseauville family. Around 1595 it belonged to Jean Hescamp, the then attorney general in Pont-Audemer .
The La Fortière fief (originally Le Forestière , 'forester's house') was first mentioned in a document in 1463 in documents from the first investigation into nobility ( recherche de Montfaut ). At that time it was inhabited by Jean de Barville , who was allowed to keep his title of nobility. In 1470 Jean de Barville showed himself to be Seigneur of Barville and La Fortière on the Montre in Beaumont-le-Roger . The Montre was a military authority used to count the nobility. Jean de Barville's grandson died without leaving an heir, so La Fortière fell through marriage to the Vipart family, barons of Le Bec-Thomas . From 1590 La Fortière was owned by the Huguenot family de Maxell, who had today's manor house built. In 1685 the Edict of Nantes was revoked by the Edict of Fontainebleau by Louis XIV (1643–1715). The de Maxell family then had to flee to Germany. Nevertheless, the family managed to keep the fief until 1745. After that it changed hands several times and was mainly used for agriculture and horse breeding .
In 1066, the seigneur of the fiefdom of Crosville , Raoul Boudet, took part in the conquest of England by William I. His descendant joined the revolt of Geoffroy d'Harcourt in 1354. This revolt in the Hundred Years War (1337–1453) was directed against King John II of France (1319–1364). In the 15th century, the Boudet family took the name de Crosville . It remained in the possession of the fief until the 18th century.
Other fiefdoms in Épreville-en-Lieuvin were Le Bosc-Roger , Le Busc , La Boivinière , Le Moustier des Potiers and Le Tilly des Mathieux .
