Toponymy and History
The community was called Warty in the Middle Ages; it was renamed Fitz-James in 1710 after James Fitz-James , natural son of the King of Great Britain James II .
Béronne was the seat of a not insignificant rule that was divided in the middle of the 13th century, and there was a Trinitarian monastery in Bois Saint-Jean . The Warty rule was in changing hands. It came in 1710 with Airion and Fournival as a duchy to James Fitz-James, who was in French service as Marshal of France and who had acquired the castle in 1704, and took the name Fitz-James; later the duchy was enlarged to include Erquery , Étouy , Litz and La Rue-Saint-Pierre . Viticulture in Fitz-James died completely by 1836. The castle was demolished in 1809. The Fitz-James family returned in the restoration and had a new castle built, but sold the property in 1833. In the mid-19th century, the Clermont Psychiatric Hospital expanded into Fitz-James.
