history

Hecmanville or the hamlet of Le Quesney was in the Gallo-Roman period (52 BC to 486 AD) on a Roman road that connected Brionne ( Breviodurum ) with Dreux ( Durocasses ). The hamlet of La Chaussée was even named after the Roman road. During an excavation, traces of settlement in Gallo-Roman times were discovered. A Gallo-Roman temple ( Fanum ) and clay vessels were found. The Fanum was probably built during the reign of Tiberius . The clay pots date from the first half of the 1st century. The sacred area was enlarged in the 2nd century, but the sanctuary was abandoned by the first half of the 3rd century at the latest. The Fanum was on the same Roman road as the Temple of Berthouville ( Canetum ). The temples were only about 3 kilometers apart and were in use simultaneously for over 150 years.

Old place names of Hecmanville were Heuguemanville (in a document from 1331), Heucquemanville (1400–1402 in documents in Bernay) and Heuquemaville (in a document from 1260). The place name suffix -ville is derived from the Latin villa for 'farm'. While the first part of the place name is probably a compound of the Old Norse name Helgi and the also Old Norse word maðr (German: 'man'). The place name would then mean something like “Helgi's farm”.

The first seigneurs of Hecmanville were named after the community. In the 17th century, the fiefdom of Hecmanville changed hands several times. 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 († 1838) 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 .
