The Duchy of Normandy, established in 911 by the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, is the historical territory of which the department of Eure (Upper Normandy) constitutes an essential part, particularly its eastern façade. This region was the starting point of the Norman rise, extending to include the conquests of Rollo and his descendants. Medieval Eure is dotted with sites that bear witness to this power, such as the fortress of Chateau-Gaillard, built by Richard the Lionheart in Les Andelys to defend the duchy against the King of France. The department was at the heart of Anglo-Norman struggles and the conflicts of the Hundred Years' War. Numerous abbeys (like those of Mortemer and Fontaine-Guérard) testify to the religious and cultural prominence of the duchy. After its attachment to the royal French domain in 1204, the region maintained a strong provincial identity.
