founding

Bourgtheroulde [ butʀudə ] owes its name to a seigneur named Turold . Théroulde is the French version of the name. Around 1025 Théroulde either inherited the land from his father or it was given to him by Duke Robert I († 1035). Because Théroulde is said to have been the teacher of William the Conqueror (1027 / 28-1087). In any case, he founded the village of Bourgtheroulde. Around 1031 he is mentioned as Chévalier Toroldus together with Osbern de Crépon († 1040) in a document from the Abbey of Saint-Wandrille . In 1035 Robert I made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem . His son Wilhelm stayed in Normandy. Théroulde was killed in 1040, at the same time as Osbern de Crépon, who died protecting Wilhelm from an assassination attempt.

Ancien Régime

Towards the end of the 11th century, Robert I. d'Harcourt received the Seigneurie Bourgtheroulde. In 1123, the then Count of Harcourt participated in the rebellion of Galéran IV. De Meulan (1104–1166) and Amaury III. de Montfort († 1137) against Henry I of England (1068–1135). Heinrich I, or his chamberlain Guillaume I de Tancarville ( House Tancarville ), succeeded in capturing Galéran IV. De Meulan in a battle near Bourgtheroulde in March 1124. Amaury III. de Montfort fled and the rebellion broke up.

The Saint-Laurent Church

From the early 13th century Bourgtheroulde was the seat of a deanery . There were up to six fiefs in the village, shared by the Ferrières, Tournebu and Thibouville families until the 15th century. The Hundred Years War (1337-1453) had disastrous consequences for Bourgtheroulde. In 1422 the deanery did not collect a single sou of taxes. The files of the Archdiocese of Rouen from 1441 state that Bourgtheroulde and the surrounding towns had been deserted for six years. In the same year the Saint-Laurent church was damaged by soldiers. In 1452 Jean VII. D'Harcourt died and his daughter Jeanne († 1456) inherited the Seigneurie Bourgtheroulde and brought it into the de Rieux family .

From 1482 there were disputes over the legacy of Jeans VII. D'Harcourt between the de Rieux and Guise family branches . In the course of these disputes, Bourgtheroulde was sold in 1499 to the then President of the Parlement de Normandie , Guillaume Le Roux d'Esneval. He had the Saint-Laurent church restored and a hotel called Bourgtheroulde built in Rouen around 1506. Guillaume Le Roux d'Esneval was buried in the Saint-Laurent church after his death.

In 1617 the Seigneurie Bourgtheroulde was raised to a barony under the rule of Nicolas Le Roux († 1621) . Nicolas Le Roux and his son, however, sided with Henri II d'Orléans-Longueville during the Fronde and fell out of favor. The population of Bourgtheroulde was again decimated by the Fronde. 1781 Bourgtheroulde was raised to marquisate . Claude IV. Le Roux († 1632) became President à mortier (high judicial officer) of the Parlement of Rouen after the death of his father . His son had the church of Saint-Laurent, which had since been damaged again, restored. In 1691 the barony was sold. In 1692 a school in Bourgtheroulde is mentioned in a document.

1781 Bourgtheroulde for Jean-Baptiste le Cordier des Bigards († 1830) was attached to the Marquisate of La Londe ( Département Seine-Maritime ).

After the revolution

The Manoir du Logis

1793 received Bourgtheroulde-Infreville in the course of the French Revolution (1789-1799) as Bourgtheronde the status of a municipality and 1801 as Bourgthéroude the right to local self-government.

In the Franco-Prussian War (1870–1871) Bourgtheroulde was occupied by German troops in December 1870.

During the Second World War (1939-1945) Bourgtheroulde was occupied by German troops. The headquarters was in the Manoir du Logis, built in 1902 . In the summer of 1944, during Operation Overlord , the town was bombed by the Allied Air Force . On August 26, 1944, the community was liberated by Canadian troops. 15 Canadians were killed and 36 wounded in the liberation. 12 of the Canadians were provisionally buried on private property. On June 4 and 5, 1945, the dead were dug up again and taken to Bretteville-sur-Laize ( Calvados department ), where they were buried again in the Canadian military cemetery there.

History of Infreville

Shards and painted tiles from the Gallo-Roman period (52 BC to 486 AD) were found in the ruins of the old manor house by the Saint-Ouen church . The Roman road from Rouen (Rotomagus) to Brionne (Breviodurum) led along there. Infreville was first mentioned in 1180 as a Wifrevilla . In 1250 it appears in documents as the Iffrevilla . The place name was composed of a Germanic name Witfrid (us) or Wifred and the word -villa . In 1213, the Bishop of Lisieux and the Abbot of Jumièges signed a treaty on " cleared areas in the forest of La Londe near Infreville" (essarto foreste de Londa apud Wifrevillam) . The cleared land remained in the possession of the Abbey of Jumièges and in 1230 part of the income of the abbey came from Infreville. The Bec Abbey had in 1453 a plot of land in the village. In the 16th century, the church patronage in Infreville belonged to the Le Roux family. In 1673 Infreville was attached to the Marquisate of La Londe. In Infreville there were several fiefdoms, the Grainville fiefdom was not subordinate to the Marquisate La Londe, but to the Marquisate Pont-Audemer .

History of Boscherville

Boscherville was first mentioned in a document in 1207 in the register of Philip II (1165–1223) as a Boschervilla . Guillaume du Thuit was named as seigneur, who was also seigneur of Le Thuit-Signol . Nègre and Beaurepaire assume that the place name is composed of a name and a villa . Nègre suggests the Germanic name Bozharius and Beaurepaire the old French surname Boschier ('woodcutter'). The fiefdom was divided into two parts in the 13th century, the du Thuit family held the church patronage, while the de Boscherville family owned the secular fiefdom. In 1404 Marie de Boscherville brought the seigneurie into the de Canonville family by marriage. Her son Pierre de Canonville united the two parts of the Seigneurie. In 1601 the nobleman Jean Godard Boscherville bought it and in 1604 he sold it on to the Viscount of Pont-Authou . In 1659 Boscherville was sold to Guillaume Scot. His descendants kept Boscherville until the French Revolution and raised Boscherville to a barony.
