Antiquated history

The Seine and Eure valleys were occupied from Paleolithic times. Their Celtic occupants were vanquished by Julius Caesar in 56 BCE, and the district in the end turned into the Roman territory of Gallia Lugdunensis Secunda. Its occupants were Christianized in the third and fourth hundreds of years CE and passed under Merovingian Frankish rule in the late fifth 100 years, turning out to be important for the Frankish realm of Neustria.

The Normandy coast was over and over crushed by attacks of the Vikings, or Northmen, from the eighth 100 years on, and, as its Carolingian rulers became more vulnerable, the Vikings entered farther inland throughout their plunders. At last the French lord Charles III the Basic surrendered the region around Rouen and the mouth of the Seine Waterway to Rollo, the head of the biggest band of Vikings, in the Arrangement of St. Clair-sur-Epte (911). Rollo's Scandinavian compatriots moved in huge numbers to settle the nation, and they embraced the French language, customs, and religion. These Vikings became known as Normans, and the area they settled became known as Normandy.

Rollo's Christianized replacements to the dukedom of Normandy gained adjoining regions in a progression of wars, turning out to be strong to such an extent that the control they practiced over their spaces was essentially free of the French crown. William, duke of Normandy and a far off replacement to Rollo, mounted an attack of Britain in 1066, becoming William I of Britain (William the Winner) and hence joining the standard of Britain and Normandy in himself. At the point when William passed on in 1087, the individual association of Normandy and Britain was broken as his children questioned the progression. Their congenial squabbles finished in 1106, when one child, Henry I, lord of Britain, crushed his sibling, Robert, duke of Normandy, in the Clash of Tinchebrai, after which the progression in Normandy briefly passed to the English rulers. Notwithstanding, in 1144 Geoffrey Plantagenet, count of Anjou, vanquished Normandy. In 1150 he surrendered the duchy to his child Henry, who later became ruler of Britain as Henry II in 1154.

In this manner Normandy turned out to be important for the supposed Angevin (from Anjou) domain, which was a progression of remote governed by Henry II and succeeding English rulers. Be that as it may, Normandy hence turned into an essential target for the Capetian rulers of France in their battle against the Plantagenet Angevins of Britain. The military and discretionary battles of the French Capetian rulers Louis VII and Philip II Augustus to deal with the area from its English Angevin rulers finished in the total triumph and extension of Normandy by Philip in 1204. Notwithstanding, it was exclusively with the Arrangement of Paris (1259) that the English crown in the individual of Henry III officially given its case over to Normandy, subsequently recognizing the deficiency of the duchy to France. The English hence reconquered Normandy in the mid fifteenth hundred years during the Hundred Years' Conflict, however the French again recuperated it, accomplishing long-lasting control in 1450 after their triumph in the Skirmish of Formigny.

In 1791 the French Progressive government partitioned the old area of Normandy into the départements of Manche, Calvados, Orne, Eure, and Seine-Inférieure (presently Seine-Oceanic). The name Normandy happens throughout the entire existence of The Second Great War as the site of the Unified attack of German-involved France in June of 1944. In 2016 the Basse-Normandie région was gotten together with the région of Haute-Normandie to frame the new managerial element of Normandy.
