CAILLOUET

Caillouet and Orgeville used to form two communes, which were united on 8th May 1845 

1st:  CAILLOUET

This name should designate a dry and stony place where, as at Brionne, there is a Roman road, normally paved with stones. 
Mr Antoine Passy and Mr Stabenrath, have establishes the existence of a portion of Roman 
way no larger than those normally found in the départment, but very straight, going from Caillouet 
directly across Orgeville and in front of the

hospital farm, until the Gadencourt descent where it becomes lost. If this route 
followed, as is believed, the route of the present Evreux highway, it must have provided 
communication between Mediolanum (Evreux) and Lutèce near Paris. 
 Despite its antiquity, Caillouet was organized comparatively recently into a parish, under the patronage of the Holy Virgin, and had never more than a mediocre importance. The lords of Vaux-sur-Eure controlled it from an early date, and were for more than four centuries lords of the parish for which they had obtained the patronage. 
  Caillouet is mentioned in the title of the abbey 
of Saint-Taurin, rebuilt [?] in 1289. Jean, 
the curate of Croisy, collector [?]of tithes for the abbey has as a limit the road going to Caillouet ad Callouelum.
  About 1440, Jehan de Vieuville was lord of Vaux and patron of Caillouet, his son of the same name became bailli, captain of Gisors; his daughter, named Bonne and surnamed la Brune married about 1434, Charles de Morney, lord of Villiers, already widower of Jeanne de Trie, who had brought to him the land of Vaux-sur-Eure probably with its annexe. Charles de Mornay, living within the vicounty of Paris was was designated lord of Vaux ...in 1469; his fiefdom was put into the king's hands 
for defaulting in comparence. 
  Charles de Mornay left seven children; 
one son was of the first bed; four sons and two 
daughters were of the second. André, 2nd son of the 2nd 
bed, had as his portion, Vaux and Caillouet. He presented to the curate of this second parish [for blessing?] in 1505, 1506, and 1507. Robine de Mornay, his daughter, allied herself  [?] with Jean de Bouquetot an Auge, qualified nobleman and lord of Caillouet and Vaux when he presented in 1527 to the curacy of Caillouet.. Already lord of Breuil and of Grangues, he also obtained Rabu, by a second marriage with Louise Lescot, lady of Rabu, in 1534. 
Arms of Bouquetot:  de queules à deux fasces d'or au franc quartier d'hermines brochant sur le tout.
Guillaume de Bouquetot, son of Jean, 
married Catherine d'Augerville, by whom he had 
three sons, Francois, Guillaume and Jean who 
were minors when he died, for in 1549, the king 
presented to the care of Caillouet, [i.e. for protection or blessing?], as having the noble guardianship of the children of

Guillaume de Bouquetot, lords of the parish. 
   When the paternal property was apportioned, 
Guillaume, the second, had the lordship 
of Breuil, of Vaux, of Boncourt, 
of Caillouet and of la Chappelle-la-Reine;  he 
had these titles with that of equerry, in an act 
of fiefdom of 26 August 1556. He appears to have 
had a son named François, married to Françoise 
de Clere, known as lady of Vaux in 1562 
at the time of the tax of the franc-fiefs.
   After her, the lands of Vaux and of Caillouet 
had to return to the Bouquetot branch, represented by the 
nobleman Jean de Bouquetot, son of Pierre, knight, 
who exercised his right of patronage in 1601; 
he had married Esther, baroness of Orbec, and 
of Bienfaite, who survived him in 1613 and who, 
......... presented to the curacy of Caillouet 
a priest named Mathieu Haymet; on the other hand 
the lieutenant of the bailiff of Évreux a Parvey, 
having also presented to the curacy, in the name 
of the king having the noble guardianship of the childen of 
M. du Breuil Bouquetot, a priest named 
Jacques Godefroy, he had the case brought to Parliament which gave the right to the priest presented by the king. 
   After Jacques Godefroy, Caillouet had 
as its curate Georges de Courey, equerry, son 
of Guillaume, lord of Bois-Morin, at Saint-Aubin near Évreux. 
   In 1620, Esther d'Orbec, by then remarried 
to Gédéon de Magneville, presented anew 
to the church at Caillouet. 
  The time of the extinction of the ancient family of 
Bouquetot, being from the 12th Century, had arrived. 
Jean de Bouquetot had left only two daughters, Guyonne, the older, married by contract 9th September 1628, 
Philippe de Chaumont, lord of Guitry, marshal of the king's army; in 1631, this brave officer presented to the curacy, 
as lord of Vaux, and a few years afterwards, in 1638, he died of wounds which he had received at the combat at Poligny, leaving two sons, Gédéon, who died young, 
and Guy who became grand-master of the king's wardrobe 
on the 26th November 1669, and who was 
killed at the passage of the Rhine near Tholus, 12 
June 1672, without having married. 
   After 1652, the fiefdoms of Vaux, Caillouet, de 
Boncourt, etc., had been sold to sir 
Jacques Carel, lord of Mercey, who had 
married Francoise Mallet, by whom he had two 
sons Pierre and Claude who shared out his heritance. 
The 30 Decembe 1674, Pierre Carel, lord 
of Vaux, Boncourt, Caillouet, Villerville, 
St Arnoul, Meautrix, Bouglon,  
married Marie Canaye. In 1681 he took 
the title of  Knight, chatelain of Caillouet. 
Pierre Carel, his son, the second of that 
name, knight, Marquis of Vaux, married 
Lady Geneviève de Gueribout des Faverils, 
who was a widow at that time, 9 Novemner 
1717, and who lived on her land at Hardencourt, 
a short distance from Caillouet. 
Carel’s Arms: d’hermines à trois carreaux d’azur
Owing the lack of male heirs, the title of Marquis of 
Vaux was extinguished with the first Marquis. Elizabeth-Marie Carel, Pierre’s daughter, married on 31 August 1723, Claude-Charles Droullin, knight, lord of Mesnil-Glaise, to whom she brought her father’s rich inheritance. 
Droullin’s Arms: d’argent au chevron de gueules, accompagné de trois quintes feuilles de poupre.
In 1750, there were in Caillouet , un feu privilégié et 50 taillables. ["taillables" perhaps refers to lands for cutting firewood.] 
In 1789, M de Mesnil-Glaise was lord 
of Hardencourt, Vaux, Boncourt and Caillouet. 

2. ORGEVILLE

Situated on the route of a Roman way, 
this parish, whose church is dedicated to 
St Martin, arises from the earliest days 
of Christianity. Above all, it owes its celebrity 
to the noble family of de Morainvilliers, 
who have possessed its lordship for many centuries......

Memoires et notes de Auguste le Prevost pour servir a l'histoire du département de l'Eure., 1862
Caillouet is crossed by a Roman way 
which, coming from Mantes, crosses the 
River Eure at Gadencourt, and carries 
on to Pont-Audemer. 
   We can mention several documents in which the 
name of Caillouet is employed in the mkiddle ages. 
  In Le Cartulaire de Saint-Père de Chartres, 
p.443, we find a donation to this 
monastery from theChurch of "Buxidum", at Perche. 
Among the subscribers of this 
chart appears "Raduifus de Calloet". 
   In a charter of 1457, subscribed by 
Hugues III, archbishop of Rouen, in favour 
of Saint Denis, there is made mention
of a chapel attached to the church of Chaumont en Vexin: "Ecclesia de Callouel". 
In the article on Bourneville, we mentioned 
a fiefdom of Caillouet, a little distance from 
Brotonne, and held by Alexander de Caillouet, 
huntsman of Robert II of Meulan. 

Finally, in the commune of Bu (Eure et-Loir) there existed in 1232 a vine named "Vinca de Caillouel". 

In the list of tithes of Croisi in 1289, our Caillouet is referred to as Caillouelum; in the second pouillé [?] of Évreux : "Caillouetum". 
The lords of Caillouet were the 
lords of Vaux-sur-Eure. 
Towards the middle of the sixteenth century, Pierre du Chesne, lord of Caillouet, married 
N----du Bosc, daughter of Pierre du Bosc and grand-daughter of Guillaume du Bosc, the King's panetier [?], who died in 1507; 1505-1507, Andre de Mornai, [was] lord of Caillouet and of Vaux; 1527, Jean de Bouquetot, Guillaume de Bouquetot; 1549-1602 Jean de Bouquetot; 1643-1620, Esther d'Orbec 
de Bienfaitte, his widow; 1634, Guyonne 
de Bouquetot and Philippe de Chaumont 
her husband; Louise and Jeanne de Bouquetot, 
his sisters, 1654, M de Quitry, lord of 
Vaux, 1634, Jacques de Carel; 
1684 Pierre de Carel. 

In 1848 a very interesting reredos was 
discovered in the church at Caillouet. 
This little commune has no locations [of great interest?]. 
In 1845 it was united with Orgeville under the name of Caillouet-Orgeville. 

 

Manuel du bibliographe normand, par Eduard Frère, 1858

CAILLOUÉ, CAILLOUE or CAILLOE (Jacques), 
printer and bookseller at Rouen from 1612 to 1663, lived in 
the Rue aux Juifs, near the palace, and later 
in the very courtyard of the palace. He had 
adopted as his sign a walnut-tree loaded with 
fruit which some children were trying to knock down 
with stones, and for a device (making allusion 
to his name and also perhaps to the troubles 
to which Protestantism was being subjected): I am always Cailloué (stoned). In 1642, we find another sign for this printer, placed in a square surround with an oval frame, representing a young man, having escaped from a shipwreck holding in one hand a box and with 
the other invoking God. Around it reads Paupertas summis ingeniis obesse ne provehantur. 
In the angles of this sign, on the left, 
we see the Arms of France and of Rouen, 
and on the right, the insignia of the bookseller. 
Cailloué having adopted the ideas of the Reformation, published (at Quevilly, where the Protestants 
had their temple and their college), several 
books of piety and of discussion for 
the use of protestants. He also published
jokes [?], books in the Spanish language 
and translated from Spanish. At this time, 
our literature, like our fashions, were 
affected by a strong Castillian influence. 
   Pierre Cailloué, his son, was a bookseller at Rouen, in 
the Palace courtyard, from 1667 to 1678, and his widow 
from 1678 to 1685. Their mark was that of 
the walnut tree loaded with fruit. They published 
large numbers of Protestant books, having 
the address of Quevilly, although living 
in the Court of the Palace of Justice. We read 
in the manuscript of booksellers that 
the widow Cailloué, printer of Rouen, died 
in the Bastille, where she was detained, having been compromised concerning the publication of a libel entitled Scarron appears to Madame de Maintenon and the  reproaches that he made to her about her amours. (Cologne, Jean leBlanc (Holl) 1694) .... 
    Because of state legislation of 14 May and 9 July 
1685, Louis XIV having enacted very detailed 
prohibitions against all publishers and 
printers professing the reformed religion 
from continuing as booksellers in future, 
under penalty of confiscation of 
all their books and merchandise and 
of 3000 Pounds fine, one of the 
Cailloués, Jean,  moved to England 
where another Cailloué named Denis, 
was already living in exile and of whom 
we are going to speak. We find the name of Jean Cailloué, bookseller of London, from 1686 to 1701 in The Strand, 
near Exeter exchange. One other Cailloué 
stayed in France, where he undoubtedly became Catholic, 
if one judges from the inscription 
found on a volume called Ex dono Domini Cailloué 
conversi. But two other members of the same family, continued to profess the religion of their fathers. They even appeared, in 1688 when the persecution had relented a little to again practise book-selling in Rouen; and as it [persecution?] 
had stopped in this town and in Normandy many Protestant families whose books had been confiscated or burnt, 
the Cailloué brothers (Pierre and Antoine) made 
a business of catechisms and other books of this religion, 
that they brought from foreign countries or which 
they even had printed in the kingdom.  Their business prospered so well for several years 
and up to the end of the Regency of the Duke 
of Orléans, that two other Protestant booksellers 
named Jacques-Nicolas and Francois-Denis le Tourneur, 
uncle and nephew, were also received 
at Rouen, after the usual examinations. 
However under the Ministry of Phelypeaux, 
on 14 September 1724, when the Abbot Robinet was commissioned to inspect the 
book shops of Rouen [?] an act of the 
King's Council of State broke and annulled the acts 
obtained by the two le Tourneurs to be 
accepted as booksellers at Rouen and ordered that the 
Cailloué brothers be removed from the profession 
of bookseller in the said town. At the time, 

there was still at Rouen, from 1724 to 1753 
a bookseller named Antoine Cailloué. The booksellers 
of the reformed religion at Rouen 
in June 1685, were Pierre Cailloué, 
Abraham de la Mothe, Jacques de la Mothe, 
Jacques le Tourneur, Nicolas le Tourneur, 
Robert le Tourneur, Abraham Lucas, Pierre 
Lucas and David Roger. 

[Acknowledgements] 
 

 DENIS CAILLOUÉ belonged to the family 
of printers of whom we have been speaking. 
He settled in London towards the middle of the seventeenth century. There he translated and published the 
named work. The portrait of the king of Great Britain, made with his own hand during his solitude and suffering: 
La Haye (London) 1649. 
 "In this edition (says Monsieur Barbier, in Dictionary of Acronyms ) the dedication to Charles II  is dated from the Utopia of Trinohantes,September 1649 and signed Philanax.  We find following some verses on the royal portrait  Afterwards there is a second dedication, to the Count of Bristol, signed D. C. Advice to the reader lasts only 9½ pages. The volume finishes with the poems by D.C., entitled: Metamorphoses of the Fortunate Isles, to the dowager Queen of Great Britain. These initial letters designate Denis Cailloué of Rouen,if I can believe M. Pluquet." Cailloué's translation appears to have been re-examined [?] by Porrée, 
who signed the dedication to Charles II. Of this work, attributed to King Charles I, but which is known to have been composed by John Gaudan, Bishop of Exeter, there 
is a edition from Paris, Louis Vendosme, 1649, and two editions printed at Rouen, in this same year, 
by Jean Berthelin. 
    Two works favourable to the cause of Charles II can be attributed to Denis Cailloué. 

   -Prediction which foresees how  [?] King   Charles II, King of Great Britain, should be sent to the kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland after the death of his father, with the conference of the king and Scottish Dr Henderson [?]  concerning the government all the Anglican Church; Rouen, Jacques Cailloué, Jean Viret, Jacques Besogne, Jean du Bosc, 1650.The dedication to the Count of Bristol is signed D. C. This volume contains several pieces, including Metamorphosis of the Fortunate Isles, an ode in French verse.
-Boscobel, or what happened during the memorable retreat of His Britannic Majesty after the battle of Worcester, the 13/5 September 1651 
Translated from the English: 

Rouen, chez Pierre Cailloué, 1676 ....... 
.......with the portrait of the King 
and the view of Boscobel, where the (English) King Charles II was in refuge. The dedication 
to Christopher Hatton is signed Pierre Cailloué, 
book-seller, that this English lord was protecting.
   La France Protestante did not provide us with any information about Denis Cailloué; it only repeats, quoting Barbier, that this was the brother of the bookseller Jacques Cailloué, and that he married an English woman.
