Broglie [ brogli ] is a French commune with 1,057 inhabitants (at January 1, 2017) in the department of Eure in the region of Normandy .
geography
The municipality of Broglie is located in the north of the Pays d'Ouche in the Charentonne valley , which flows over the Risle into the Seine . Broglie is about ten kilometers from Bernay and about fifty kilometers from Évreux .
history
Until 1742 the community was called Chambrais .
Broglie is of Celtic origin and was in Gallo-Roman times (52 BC to 486 AD) at the crossroads of the Roman roads of the salt and iron trade.
After the Norman invasion, the village was owned by the Dukes of Normandy . In 1071, William the Conqueror (1027 / 28-1087) gave Henri de Ferrières († 1093-1100) the fief of Chambrais. The Ferrières family remained in possession of the fief until the 16th century.
In 1716 the village came into the possession of the Broglie family from Piedmont . In 1742 it was raised to a duchy and renamed Broglie in honor of Duke François-Marie de Broglie (1671-1745) . During the French Revolution (1789-1799) the renaming was reversed. In 1793 Broglie received the status of a municipality as Chambray and in 1801 as Chambrois the right to local self-government . The place has only been called Broglie again since 1814. In 1845 the former municipality of Saint-Vincent-la-Rivière was incorporated.
