Charter with the Norman ones
The charter known as Charte with Norman the is a text granted the March 19th 1315, by the king de France Louis Hutin, which echoes the Large Charter English. To alleviate the periodic revolts of Norman, the king had to admit the specificity of the Normandy, and this charter, as well as the second of 1339, will be regarded until in 1789 as the symbol of Norman particularism.
In 1314, Philippe Beautiful the had raised a new tax to finance a Flemish forwarding. This new contribution considered to be disproportionate in comparison with the stake will cause a wave of protest in all the Kingdom. To alleviate the spirits, the new king, Louis X, grants a series of provincial charters then. The first, containing fourteen articles, conceded in 1314 and the second, containing twenty-four articles, conceded the March 19th 1315, relate to the Normandy.
This charter, which from now on will occupy a fundamental role in the collective conscience and the imaginary Norman one, reaches the row of myth to become the symbol even of the dispute Norman, while at the same time she is regularly violated and, than with the wire of the centuries, the Norman ones forgot to its contents even. It offers to the province legal, tax and legal matter guarantees, and will be regularly held up during the crisis periods and in particular when it is a question of opposing specificity Norman to the royal centralism. Seldom turned against the capacity itself, the dispute is expressed rather against its demonstrations.
The Charter with Norman the of 1315, then the second Charter with Norman the of 1339, guaranteed the right to them never not to be quoted in front of a jurisdiction other than that of their province. When a royal decree violated some provision of it, the reserve express that one added to it pointed out the existence of this right, at the time same as it was enfreint: Notwithstanding clamor of haro and charter Norman.
The Charter with Norman was confirmed by Philippe de Valois in 1339, by Charles VI of France in 1380 and by Henri V of England in 1419. In 1458, when it returned in possession of the Normandy at the conclusion of the Guerre One hundred Year old, Charles VII confirmed it in the same way. Pareillement, Louis XI will confirm the Charte with Norman the in 1461 like Charles VIII in 1485 and Henri III in 1579. Respected a long time, this charter ceased being in force at the end of the 16th century and was really abolished only under Louis XIV, but continued nevertheless to appear in the ordinances and the privileges of the king until in 1789.
