history
Bigards was a Seigneurie in the Middle Ages , the owner of the same name as Bigart was first mentioned in 1124 in the copy book of the Priorei de la Trinité in Beaumont-le-Roger . In the same copy book, Nassandres appears as Nacandres . The church of Nassandres and the chapel in Bigards were given to the abbey of Le Bec in Le Bec-Hellouin by the then Bishop of Evreux at the end of the 13th century . The Seigneur von Harcourt also ceded his rights to Nassandres to the Abbey of Le Bec, the last deed of assignment was drawn up in 1309.
In 1470 the Bigards fiefdom belonged to the Erneville family, who lived in the old manor house until the mid-18th century. In 1767 Guy Chambellan bought the property and had the current castle built. He lived in the castle until the French Revolution (1789–1799).
The La Rivière-Thibouville fiefdom belonged to Jean Seigneuret, baron of Ferrières-Saint-Hilaire in 1488 and was subordinate to the Viscount of Beaumont-le-Roger. In 1619 it belonged to Henri de Conflans, Baron von Armetières. The manor house of today's Thibouville parish was in La Rivière-Thibouville. Lambert d'Herbigny bought this fiefdom around 1660, and Thibouville was made a marquisate in 1670 .
In 1793 Nassandres received the status of a municipality as Nassandre in the course of the French Revolution and in 1801 under its current name through the administrative reform of the Napoleon Bonaparte government the right to local self-government .
In 1898 the Alphonse Caillard affair shook the entire department. Alphonse Caillard had broken into the home of a foreman at the sugar factory in the hamlet of La Rivière-Thibouville and killed the foreman, his wife, his three children and his mother. Then he searched the house for valuables, ate something, and drank rum. Then he was drunk on the train and drove to Lisieux with a sack full of valuables . Where he was arrested the next morning. He was brought by gendarmes to Bernay, where a pack of about five hundred people wanted to lynch him. He was sentenced to death. Anatole Deibler carried out the execution in Évreux. National tabloid press coverage, especially Le Petit Journal , compared Caillard, the "sixfold murderer of Nassandres," with Jean-Baptiste Troppmann .
During the Second World War (1939-1945), Nassandres was bombed several times by the Allied Air Force in the summer of 1944 during Operation Overlord . At the intersection of the D23 and D130 departmental roads in La Rivière Thibouville, all the houses, including the orphanage, were destroyed. On aerial photos of the confluence of the Risle and Charentonne rivers, numerous bomb craters can be seen, which were also created by the bombing in the summer of 1944. Nearby was the Serquigny railway junction, which was the actual target of the bombs. The bombing on August 16, 1944 killed 24 people, four people were killed in the previous bombings. The church was damaged and the stained glass windows destroyed.
