history

Detail of the Lisieux-Honfleur map by César François Cassini de Thury (1714–1784), Franqueville is slightly below center on the right

Franqueville lies on the old Roman road that connected Brionne ( Breviodurum ) with Dreux ( Durocasses ).

The name Franqueville does not come from the Latin , where franca means Frankish, but from the old Germanic word "frank" (free). Places like Franqueville and Francheville were exempt from feudal taxes in the Middle Ages .

In the 12th century, the fiefdom of Franqueville belonged to Simon de Franqueville , who is documented because he ceded two of his other fiefs to the Abbey of Le Bec .

Franqueville Villafranca is mentioned in a document from the time of Richard II of England (1367–1400) . In the copial book of the priory La Sainte-Trinité of Beaumont-le-Roger Franqueville is mentioned several times, in 1314 as Franquevilla in a lease, and in 1334 as Franqueville, as the residence of the Seigneurs du Bois of Bois-David.

In 1320 Franqueville had 40 households. After the Franqueville fiefdom got into other families several times by marriage, it fell to Jean de Longaunay in 1469 and remained in the family's possession until 1668.

Hervé II. De Longaunay, Seigneur de Franqueville, was Lieutenant General of Lower Normandy and died on March 14, 1590 at the Battle of Ivry . In 1629 Antoine de Longaunay, Seigneur de Franqueville, was given the title of Chevalier and became governor of Carentan .

On November 6, 1699 Jacques III. Bulteau mentioned in documents as Seigneur of Franqueville, Beaumont-le-Roger and Hecmanville, he was an official at the Parlement de Normandie in Rouen . His daughter and heiress married Pierre-Jean Grossin († 1772), who was also a civil servant at the Parlement de Normandie .

Comte Louis-Jacques Grossin was forced to emigrate in 1791 by the French Revolution (1789–1799). After the return of Louis XVIII. he also returned and became a member of the Chamber of Deputies . He died in 1838.
