history

Calleville was first mentioned in 1190 as Karlevilla . According to de Beaurepaire, it is a medieval town foundation. The place name is made up of the French place name ending -ville , which developed from the Latin word villa , country estate ', and the old Norse name Karli (German Karl ).

In the 12th century the lands of today's Calleville, which lay on the edge of the forest of Le Neubourg, were divided between the Seigneurs of Harcourt and Le Neubourg. The Harcourt family owned a large mansion in Calleville, which was surrounded by a large park. Neither the manor house nor the park have survived. In 1817, glazed paving stones from the 14th century were found on the site where the mansion once stood.

Gilles-André de La Roque, the genealogist of the Harcourt family, assigned Robert I. d'Harcourt (after 1078-1100) the title of Seigneur de Calleville in 1662 . This is not proof, but it is an indication that Calleville could have been divided as early as the 11th century. But it is certain that Robert II. D'Harcourt (after 1124-1212) and Richard d'Harcourt (1212-1239) owned a fiefdom in Calleville. Richard was in dispute with the cathedral chapter of Évreux and had to deliver six modius grain to the church in Calleville in 1217 in order to settle the dispute .

In 1293, the then Seigneur of Harcourt, Jean II. D'Harcourt (1245-1302), in favor of the Abbey of Saint-Pierre de Préaux in Les Préaux on all rights he had with regard to the forests of Saint-Pierre-de-Salerne , Saint-Cyr-de-Salerne , Brétigny and other places had; this document in the copy book of the Abbey of Préaux was dated and signed in Calleville.

When Jean VII. D'Harcourt died in 1452, his fief Calleville fell by marriage to Antoine de Vaudémont (1400-1458). It was then passed on until it came into the possession of the Guise family , who kept the fief until the French Revolution (1789-1799).

In 1793, in the course of the French Revolution, Calleville received the status of a municipality and in 1801 the right to local self-government.
