history
The Roman road from Paris (Lutetia) to Rouen (Rotomagus) ran through Bouafles. Traces of settlement and coins from the Gallo-Roman period (52 BC to 486 AD) were found above the Seine valley around 1830 . The traces of settlement were tegulæ , millstones and foundations of houses. Some coins could be assigned to the reigns of Claudius Gothicus (268–270) and Constantine (306–337). In the spring of 1939, further finds from the Gallo-Roman period were discovered in the Andelys forest, nails, two statuettes of the Egyptian god Osiris and shards of pottery and Tegulæ.
In 1880 the Seine was dredged near Bouafles, and a sickle, a spear and two Franziskas from the Merovingian era were found. These throwing axes were used from the 5th to 7th centuries. In 1858, two sarcophagi with a lance and buckles were found in the foundations of a house in the hamlet of Les Mousseaux . In 1970, a Merovingian burial site in a modern quarry was destroyed.
Bouafles was a fiefdom of the abbey of Saint-Denis , founded in the Merovingian era , which lost its claim to the village due to the Norman invasion. In the 11th century Onfroi de Vieilles († around 1050) was Seigneur of Bouafles, Pont-Audemer , Beaumont-le-Roger and other localities. He gave Bouafles to the Abbey he had rebuilt in Les Préaux . She owned land in Bouafles until the French Revolution (1789–1799).
