Bernay is a commune in the west of the Eure department about fifty km from Évreux in northern France. The city is in the Pays d’Ouche and the Lieuvin. On its territory run the Charentonne, a tributary of the Risle and the Cosnier. The etymological origin of Bernay indicates that it is a marshy place, which does not surprise since the Charentonne river comes to butt against a slope (“les Monts”) and receives the Cosnier river that has an important flow.
Between 996 and 1008, the duke of Normandy, Richard II, offered this area in dowry to his wife, Judith of Brittany, who built a Benedictine abbey at once. The monks organized the site by important hydraulic work: cleansing, mills, fisheries… and the construction of an abbey which remains a jewel of the Norman Romanesque architecture . To cover the expenses and to ensure their defense, they yielded a part of their property in 1048.
