Commentary
La seigneurie d’Elbeuf est érigée en comté en 1338, passe en 1554 de la maison d’Harcourt à la maison de Guise et est érigée en duché-pairie en 1582. La croix de Lorraine rappelle que la maison d’Elbeuf est une branche cadette de la maison de Lorraine-Guise, issue de René de Lorraine, marquis d’Elbeuf (1536-1566). La maison d’Elbeuf s’éteignit en 1825, à la mort du prince de Lambesc. Une manufacture de draps est installée à Elbeuf en 1667 sous l’impulsion de Colbert. En 1693, on dénombre trente-sept maîtres drapiers à Elbeuf. Le revers rappelle les armes d’Elbeuf qui portent de sable avec une croix de Lorraine de gueules qui supporte un pied de vigne de sinople, orné de grappes de raisin de gueules. Elles sont associées à la devise “tali fulcimine crescet” qui fait référence à l’appui de la maison de Lorraine.
Historical background
NORMANDY (GENTRY AND TOWNS OF...)
Normandy covers on the one hand the region of Rouen or upper Normandy around the Seine valley and on the other hand lower Normandy around Caen with the Cotentin and the Pays d'Auge. Inhabited since the Paleolithic era, the Seine valley is an important way of trade and habitation, and is then occupied by various Celtic peoples such as the Calètes, the Véliocasses or the Aulerques Éburovices. Roman, it then passes into the kingdom of Syagrius before being occupied by the Franks from 486. Ravaged by the incursions of the Normans, the region was recognized by Charles the Simple.. The Dukes of Normandy were then the allies of the first Capetians and in the 11th century were at the head of one of the richest and best administratively organized states in Europe, which is also shown by the expansion towards southern Italy and england. In the French monarchy, Normandy keeps its institutions, for example with the maintenance of the Exchequer, or its customary law codified in the "Grand Coutumier". Deeply affected during the Wars of Religion, Normandy saw its last vestiges of independence disappear in the 17th century following the revolts of the "Barefoot". The textile industry was favored under Colbert which gave a new economic boost to Normandy.
