history
Le Bosc-Du-Bois belonged to the knight Jehan du Bois de Chamblac in 1261 . The fiefdom was from the 13th century until the French Revolution (1789–1799) a Demifief de Haubert , about 'half a fiefdom of the ring armor '. This form of subdivision of fiefs was common in feudalism only in Normandy and Brittany . The owner of the fiefdom automatically became a knight when he inherited the fiefdom and was 21 years old and had to serve in his master's rural army. The ring armor was the symbol of chivalry in this context. When these fiefs were inherited, they could be divided into up to eight parts. However, John of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Bedford (1389-1435) confiscated the fief during the Hundred Years War (1337-1453).
The fiefs of Bonneville and Chamblac were under the Barony Ferrières, which was incorporated into the then newly created Duchy of Broglie in 1742 . The Bonneville fiefdom had existed since the 10th century. From the 15th century to the beginning of the 19th century, the Bonneville fiefdom belonged to the family of the same name. Jean de Bonneville, chamberlain to the king, was mentioned in a document around 1400 as Seigneur von Chamblac and Bonneville. The last Count of Bonneville, Nicolas, was General Councilor of the Eure department. In the middle of the 18th century the castle was badly damaged by fire. Nicolas de Bonneville had the castle restored from 1779. He died in 1805 and had no descendants, so his nephew, Count de la Varende, inherited the castle.
1964 Le Bosc-Morel was incorporated.
