Jumièges

In my study of Medieval Historians and the events leading to the Norman Conquest and its aftermath, the comunity of Jumièges in the Seine-Maritime department in the Normandy region in north-western France.

Jumièges Abbey
It is best known as the site of Jumièges Abbey, a typical Norman abbey of the Romanesque period, and the home of the pro-Norman chronicler William of Jumièges who wrote the Gesta Normannorum Ducum about 1070. Ruined in the first quarter of the 19th century, the abbey dates from the 7th century.[6] The church of Notre Dame was consecrated in 1067 in the presence of William the Conqueror.[8]
