history

The place dates from at least the 8th century and was named Verimbrea (741), Vermeria (919), later Wurembria and Verberiacum .

Verberie had its heyday during the Carolingian era . Charles Martell retired here after the battle of Tours and Poitiers (732) and contracted the disease in Verberie from which he died two years later. He received here from Pope Gregory III. (731–741) the chains of the apostle Peter and the keys to his tomb. On May 23, 753, King Pippin in Verberie, at the request of Boniface, confirmed to the Church of St. Martin zu Utrecht the property donated by Pippin the Middle, Karl Martell and Hausmeier Karlmann. Source: DKar I 4; BM2 33 fn70. Boniface probably met Verberie at Pippin's house in Palatinate on this occasion. Charlemagne had a palace built here that stretched over 420 meters from today's Saint-Pierre chapel to the Château d'Aramont. Councils were held here in 752 (or 753), 756, 853 and 869 . In 856 Judith, the daughter of Charles the Bald , and King Æthelwulf of Wessex were married in Verberie .

The rest of the history of the place is unspectacular. After a sack by the Normans, Verberie 885 was rebuilt. In August 1307, Verberie was still one of the royal abodes. The parish church of Saint-Pierre (at least 12th century) is believed to be in the same place as the chapel of the Carolingian palace; her tower collapsed in 1333. 1359 Verberie was the English sacked , but then rebuilt. In 1431 King Charles VII had the city walls torn down. King Franz I had it rebuilt, the five city gates built at that time were still there in the 19th century. In 1720, Philippe II Charles de Bourbon, duc d'Orléans , regent of France, added Verberie to the Domaine royal .

The late Magdalenian site of Le Buisson Campin is located on the territory of the municipality .

  1. ↑ Viollet-le-Duc: “Charlemagne avait fait entièrement rebâtir le palais de Verberie, près de Compiègne. Il en restait encore de nombreux fragments dans le dernier siècle, si l'on en croit le P. Carlier. D'après cet auteur, Charlemagne aurait bâti la tour du Prædium, c'est-à-dire le donjon dominant le domaine, tour dont les soubassements étaient encore visibles de son temps. Il aurait fait construire le principal corps de logis, édifice immense, ainsi que la chapelle du palais, qui conservait encore le nom de chapelle Charlemagne au XIVe siècle ... "
