Adopting a class-based approach to the agricultural world, this article proposes a holistic analysis of agri-food justice, one that takes into account production as well as consumption. Empirical material is drawn from field work for a PhD thesis on the vegetable and market gardening supply chains in Normandy, France, including surveys and semi-directive interviews. The goal is to move beyond a binary, dominating-dominated perspective and to focus instead on how social inequalities create situations of food injustice. To this end, the first section describes the organisation of the vegetable and market gardening worlds into five social class fractions. Next, an analysis is provided of one fraction of vegetable growers, those experiencing 'incomplete bourgeoisification' (embourgeoisement), and how they are dominated by the agri-food senior executive. Agricultural alternatives have been developed to counter these forms of injustice but have at the same time structured new food inequalities in their turn. Finally, through the observation of fractions at the bottom of the agricultural social hierarchy, the paper considers how these same alternatives can also constitute resources against the employment insecurity suffered by the working classes.

This article offers an analysis, edition, and translation of the Brevis cronica compendiosa ducum Normannie, a historiographical account of the dukes of Normandy and their deeds, written at the turn of the fifteenth century by the Norman jurist and man of letters, Simon de Plumetot (1371-1443). Having all but escaped the attention of modern scholars, this study is the first to examine and publish the Brevis cronica. It not only demonstrates that the work is of greater importance than its rather scrappy form might at first suggest, but it also looks to place the text within the broader context of Simon's literary and bibliophilic practices and to determine its raison d'être. In doing so, it argues that the Brevis cronica was perhaps created as part of a much larger historiographical project, namely an extended chronicle of Normandy, written in the vernacular, the text of which is now lost. By exploring these important issues, the article sheds new light on a wide range of topics, from early humanist book collecting to the writing of history in France in the later Middle Ages.

The Manoir de la Haule at Aclou was described by Bans, Gaillard-Bans and Smith in 1995 as having a base-cruck hall.1 The roof has now been dated to 1360-1d, and study has shown that it is of short-principal rather than base-cruck form. The structure is described in detail and the historical evidence re-examined, suggesting a scenario for its construction. English and French parallels for the plan and structure of the house are considered; it is clear that the design of the house is English, but some details suggest the involvement of French carpenters in its construction.

Adolphe Lalyre was a high-profile French painter in the late 19th and early 20th centuries who has now largely fallen into obscurity. Seemingly unmoved by the series of movements in Modern Art that came to prominence during his lifetime - including Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Fauvism and Cubism - he persisted with a style of painting derived from Symbolism, initially favouring religious themes before moving on to a series of works representing (human-form) sirens during an extended residency at Carteret, on the coast of Normandy. The French term sirène refers to both human-form female water spirits and fish-tailed ones of the type usually referred to in English as mermaids. This article explores the aesthetic and cultural dimensions of Lalyre's sirène paintings and discusses the pleasures and temptations they offered the viewer at an historical moment when Modernism, and Modernity more generally, was in its ascendancy. Our analysis examines Lalyre's work within the specifically local context of Carteret and, more broadly, with late 19th and early 20th Century France, focusing on the importance of the artist and visual representations in the process of place-making and especially with regard to shifts in the meaning of sea and shore, along with the rise of the tourism industry.

Well-preserved bomb craters in the forests of central Normandy, NW France, constitute archaeological legacies of combat inland from the D-Day beachheads that greatly extend the inventory of Second World War conflict landscapes in northwest Europe. Field survey and analysis of German and Allied documents demonstrates that bombscapes in the Forêt domaniale des Andaines and Forêt domaniale d'Ecouves reflect US Ninth Army Air Force attacks on a German fuel depot and radar installation, respectively, during June-August, 1944. One hundred and thirty-six craters are mapped, described and linked to specific air raids, bomb types and, for one raid on the 13th June, six specific participating aircraft and aircrews. These landscapes echo the impact of widespread tactical bombing against targets close to civilian population centers, and in some cases employing civilian and PoW labor. They are therefore well-placed to contribute to wider heritage narratives around the non-combatant experience of aerial warfare in WWII. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The article presents and examines the unedited second will written by Charles II, King of Navarre and Count of Évreux (Normandy, France), in 1376 to learn more about the King's life during that time. It is noted that the original will was lost and that a 17th century copy is being conserved at the French national library Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris, France. The author notes the will's repentant tone and suggests that Charles revealed himself to be more of a French prince rather than a king of the Navarre Kingdom, which he supports with two examples.

After presenting the value and limits of the historiography generalized by canon Adolphe Porée in the early 20th century, the author evaluates the historical accounts of the sources in order to examine the ambivalent relation between Benedictine eremitism and cenobitism at the Bec before proposing another hypothesis concerning the origins of the monastery.

The article focuses on the Scandinavian origins of Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot, Baron of the Aulne, in France, a French economist and statesman under the reign of Louis XVI. The author reports that the name Turgot is a Norse name, a language used in Scandinavia, which is not so uncommon in Normandy, France. As explained, it is the proof that the Baron of Aulne has Viking ancestors. However, all the documents that list Turgot's ancestors, only list French and British persons. Finally, the author discusses the influence on the economist's origins on his personality and work.

The article discusses the origins of the use of French language in documents in Normandy, France, during the 13th century. According to the author, before that time French was rarely used in charters, but only in legal documents such as wills, or marriage contracts.

The article discusses the unionization of mine workers in Calvados, Normandy, France, between 1898 and 1919. The author explains that mining companies' employees in Normandy were not considering working as a miner to be a real job as they sometimes disappeared for days, and accepted meals as a salary.

Finally, the nationalist context caused the mine go into receivership.

The article focuses on iron mines and steel production in the area of Basse-Normandie, France, during the 20st century. While Basse-Normandie was considered one of the three most important steel producing areas of France during the 18e century, the revolution brought difficulties and caused the closure of a great number of forges. According to the author, Basse-Normandie only experimented a renewal of its industry during the second half of the 20st century, thanks to iron-rich veins, and the importance of German investments, before totally disappearing during the 1990's.

The author presents an history of the creation of these departments, the choice of their names, their numbers, and their representatives, and their difficulty to organize themselves, deciding the number of employees to hire, or the opening hours, and finding buildings to occupy, due to the lack of laws.

The article discusses the surveying and map-making work of the French engineers, and brothers, Nicolas and Jean Mangin, from Fécamp, France, who worked from 1696 to 1720 as surveyors of the English Channel coastline from the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel to the French port of Calais. The article discusses examples of their work, which paid particular attention to ports and the archives where the maps are located. These maps are believed to be important due to their contribution to maritime history and the history of cartography.

The article traces the developments in the peatlands and alluvial terrain of the Marais Vernier in France. During the 17th century, Dutch drainage engineers built an embankment to protect the old marsh from the River Seine which was partially successful. The surface of Marais Vernier increased in the 19th century because of the reclamation of mudflats and alluvial deposits. The Marais Vernier was incorporated into a regional nature park in 1974.
