history

Lieurey was founded by the Celts and in Gallo-Roman times (-52 to 486) several Roman roads crossed there . According to Ernest Nègre , the meaning of the place name is unknown, he suspects that it goes back to the Latin word Ligurius , "transparent gemstone". It is generally assumed that the toponym lieu du roi means "place of the king", but it is not known which king is meant by it. The name was in 1076 in an exchange of letters between Hugues, III. Viscount de Meulan and the Bishop of Avranches first mentioned in a document. In any case, there are several Latin forms of the place name, Lieurayum , Liarreyum and Liereyum .

In 1190 Laurent de Mortagne donated 40 acres of arpent land in Lieurey to Le Bec Abbey .

Modern times

From 1484 the Abbey of Le Bec allowed the then Seigneur von Lieurey to hold a weekly market on Saturday and an annual market on Martin's Day .

During the Reformation , the Seigneurs des Hameau-des-Champs adopted the Protestant religion . There was a small Protestant cemetery on a plot of land next to the castle. After an official Reformed church was established in Rouen in 1557 and in Évreux in 1559 , Lieurey followed suit. The Protestant church in Lieurey did not exist until the 17th century.

In the Ancien Régime there was a seigneurial court ( haute justice ) in Lieurey , which was subordinate to the Bailliage Orbec .

In 1793 Lieurey received in the course of the French Revolution (1789-1799) the status of a municipality and in 1801 the right to local self-government. From 1793 to 1801 it was also the capital of the canton.

coat of arms

The blazon of the municipal coat of arms is: “ D'azur à la croix cousue de gueules cantonnée de quatre molettes d'or. “In creating the municipal coat of arms, two seigneurial coats of arms were used, that of the Mortagne family and that of the du Fay family (17th century). The colors red and blue and the cross were taken from their coat of arms. One of the coats of arms showed the four spur wheels . The golden color of the spur wheels comes from the coats of arms of the Pommereuil and Lieurey families (12th to 14th centuries). The municipal coat of arms is shown on the central risalit of the Mairie.
