History

In 935 a big battle between William I, Duke of Normandy and Robert II took place near the town. The battlefield was called Champ-de-Bataille later and in the 17th century the Marshall of Créqui built a castle there.[2]

The Château du Champ de Bataille was owned by the Harcourt family and has formal gardens designed by Le Nôtre.

gollark: On SwitchCraft many things are basically free, such as land, housing (if you don't care about location) and cobblestone, some things are probably not that scarce (iron, advanced computers), and some things are pretty scarce and thus valuable, such as high-end enchanted books and shulker boxes.
