geography
La Chapelle-Gauthier is located in the Pays d'Ouche at an average altitude of 176 meters above sea level, 25 kilometers southeast of Lisieux and 16 kilometers southwest of Bernay . The municipality has an area of 16.43 square kilometers. La Chapelle-Gauthier is surrounded by the neighboring communities of La Folletière-Abenon , La Trinité-de-Réville and La Vespière .
The geological subsoil consists primarily of sandstone and conglomerate rock , the so-called poudingue . La Chapelle-Gauthier is one of the communities in the Eure department where there are so-called Marnières . These are old marl pits that have been poorly filled with rubble. They can open after heavy rain, when the debris filling is washed into the side passages. Floods and landslides occurred as a result of storms Lothar and Martin in December 1999 .
history
In the Pouillé of Lisieux, the ecclesiastical register of the feudal lords, Robert de la Haye is mentioned in 1350 as Seigneur of La Chapelle-Gauthier. Part of the fiefdom was given in the 14th century to a Beaudouin family , who also held the title of Viscount of Orbec . This fiefdom was in the possession of the family until the 17th century, and over time they wrote themselves to Baudouin .
In the Hundred Years War (1337-1453) La Chapelle-Gauthier and the surrounding villages were occupied by English troops. The fiefs of the seigneurs, who remained loyal to the French king, were confiscated and given to the English. A fiefdom belonged to the Prévôt des marchands Jean Jouvenel († 1431). Between 1424 and 1444, several former residents of La Chapelle-Gauthier in Bernay were executed for joining the French resistance fighters. The Jouvenel des Ursins family got the fief back after the occupation. In the 17th century the Guiry family inherited this fief and in 1670 both fiefs were merged by La Chapelle-Gauthier.
In 1584, up to sixteen thousand rebellious peasants gathered in La Chapelle-Gauthier. The rebels were named after the village Gauthiers (also Gautiers ). The reason for this peasant uprising in the Huguenot War (1562–1598) was looting by soldiers and excessive seigneurial and royal taxes . The Gauthiers joined the Holy League . About twelve thousand Gauthiers found themselves in Bernay in 1588 and holed up there. Thereupon François de Bourbon, duc de Montpensier Bernay besieged with his troops, conquered the city, which was then plundered and pillaged. The Gauthiers in Bernay were killed. About three thousand Gauthiers were in La Chapelle-Gauthier at the same time. They surrendered to the troops and almost all returned to their work, the uprising ended in 1589.
In 1793 La Chapelle-Gauthier received in the course of the French Revolution (1789-1799) as La Chappelle Gauthier the status of a municipality and in 1801 the right to local self-government. In 1845 the village of Saint-Laurent-des-Grès was incorporated, which had 201 inhabitants in 1841. During the Second World War (1939-1945), La Chapelle-Gauthier was bombed in the summer of 1944. The windows on the south side of the Notre-Dame church were damaged.
