Event Description

Vinz will give us a talk on his hometown in Normandy, France

Founded in the eleventh century, the earliest records (1080–1082) include the name Sancte Marie Ecclesia, Latin for "Church of St. Mary", while a later document written in Norman-French (1317) mentions Saincte Mariglise. The current French form of the name is ambiguous, with the additional meaning, "Holy Mother Church". The town was significantly involved in the Hundred Years' War as well as the Wars of Religion.

Fascinating.Thanks for sharing

Comment by Alejandro Indigo on December 7, 2013 at 1:50: I want to know when's the next Caps tournament

Comment by Vinz on November 26, 2013 at 14:45: mile having a different meaning at that time of course and not being 1.609 kilometers

Comment by Vinz on November 26, 2013 at 14:44: yes sir Richard! The establishment of the village also is a lot older than what your sources state since we have a roman milestone right in the middle of the village.

Comment by Richard Roman on November 26, 2013 at 12:19: The Normandy landings?

Comment by Vinz on November 26, 2013 at 9:33: Nice introduction Richard. Nevertheless, what made my home town world famous doesn't find its roots in the medieval times but in an event a lot closer to us.
