This change intervened during the one hundred year old war when Edouard III of England and its troops unloaded England, in 1346. During their tour in Normandy, they reflect fire at the village. The inhabitants called the place Dos Flaring which changed with the wire of time by corruption of the language. It seems that Dos Flaring comes from a Latinism meaning the mountain which burns. Dozulé remained a long time a borough of no importance until the Révolution. The latter worked for the creation of an road axis (main road 175) between Caen and Rouen. This axis passed near Dozulé which saw opportunity there of extending. The center thus moved around the road and the village tripled its population from the trade and industry.
