About this deal

The Regional Council of Normandy, created on 1 January 2016, has 102 members who are elected under a system of proportional representation. The executive consists of a president and vice-presidents. Hervé Morin from the Centre party was elected president of the council in January 2016. The council is based in Caen, making Normandy one of only two regions (the other being Bourgogne-Franche-Comté) where the prefecture and seat of local government are different cities.

Here are SEVEN factson Project ’44more solidthan the hull armour of a Tiger Tank: Dauphin Louis Charles, the second son of Louis XVI, was again given the nominal title of 'Duke of Normandy' before the death of his elder brother in 1789. Normandy's name comes from the settlement of the territory by Vikings (" Northmen") starting in the 9th century, and confirmed by treaty in the 10th century between King Charles III of France and the Viking jarl Rollo. For almost 150 years following the Norman conquest of England in 1066, Normandy and England were linked by having the same person reign as both Duke of Normandy and King of England.

On their beaches there is a type of coastal pilgrimage related to the war past that included their batteries and bunkers; a tribute to the memory of those thousands who fell on D-Day. All this is covered in their extensive beaches that were the protagonists of the landings, as well as the Omaha Beach Memorial Museum and the D-Day Museum and the American cemetery in Normandy. Normandy Tourist Guide The 14th-century explorer Jean de Béthencourt established a kingdom in the Canary Islands in 1404. He received the title King of the Canary Islands from Pope Innocent VII but recognized Henry III of Castile as his overlord, who had provided him with military and financial aid during the conquest. In 27BC, Emperor Augustus reorganized the Gallic territories by adding the Caletes and Veliocasses to the province of Gallia Lugdunensis, which had its capital at Lyon. The Romanization of Normandy was achieved by the usual methods: Roman roads and a policy of urbanization.

The modern region of Normandy was created by the territorial reform of French Regions in 2014 by the merger of Lower Normandy, and Upper Normandy.

It would be easy for me to prove that the Salic law did not absolutely exclude the daughters from the possession of the Salic land, but only in the case where they were de barred by their brothers. This appears from the letter of the Salic law; which after having said, that the women shall possess none of the Salic land, but only the males, interprets and restrains itself by adding, "that is, the son shall succeed to the inheritance of the father."

Caen

Our tour of the Normandy beaches, the Loire Valley & Paris will take you along the gorgeous, wind-swept Normandy coast, through the 'garden of France', ending at the 'city of lights'! Caen is the main city in the region. The Caen War Memorial museum is very interesting and deserves a visit. It will be of special interest to history lovers or people who are retracing their ancestors’ footsteps. Unfortunately, Caen experienced heavy bombing during World War II, so not much of the old town remains.

Rollo’s Christianized successors to the dukedom of Normandy acquired neighboring territories in a series of wars, becoming so powerful that the control they exercised over their domains was practically independent of the French crown. William, duke of Normandy and a distant successor to Rollo, mounted an invasion of England in 1066, becoming William I of England (William the Conqueror) and thus uniting the rule of England and Normandy in himself. When William died in 1087, the personal union of Normandy and England was broken as his sons disputed the succession. Their fraternal quarrels ended in 1106, when one son, Henry I, king of England, defeated his brother, Robert, duke of Normandy, in the Battle of Tinchebrai, after which the succession in Normandy temporarily passed to the English kings. However, in 1144 Geoffrey Plantagenet, count of Anjou, conquered Normandy. In 1150 he ceded the duchy to his son Henry, who later became king of England as Henry II in 1154.The Vikings in Normandy: The Scandinavian contribution in Normandy". www.viking.no.
