History

Jacques the Furrier (approx. 1446-1511) acquired of the seigniory of Martainville on March 23rd, 1482. Since Leon de Glanville and Michel Mollat, one knows that Jacques belongs to the commercial upper middle class of Rouen. It is installed with his younger brother Richard street with the Bears, parish Saint-Cande-the-Young person, in the large hotel offered by their father. Heirs in 1480 to the one to largest fortunes to the city, the two brothers make bear fruit their goods by exporting tin in England and Blé with the Portugal, while speculating in Breton salt, while haggling with the fairs of Lyon and while arming with the ships for the the Mediterranean. Their benefit of merchants are reinvested in houses of report/ratio, ground rents and many grounds and seigniories located in the surroundings of the capital Norman, in particular around the stronghold of Martainville. The entry of Jacques to the Council of the city, initially as quartenier in 1492, then as adviser-alderman in 1493 (until 1496), mark the apogee of its career. To this load, it brings its opinion on many subjects and directs the policy of Rouen.

In 1511, Jacques dies without direct descent and leaves all his possessions of which Martainville with its nephew Jacques II the Furrier (1485-1545), who holds the important load of Viscount of water in Rouen. The family, which will obtain from the king, in 1571, the right to change her name of the Furrier into that of the ground of Martainville, will remain owner of the seigniory until the 18th century. Only documented work relates to the restoration of the principal building at the beginning of the 20th century. The windows and the attic windows, remade in 1939 such as Claude Sauvageot had restored them on paper in 1867 according to the vestiges still in place, find their proportions; the lowered barges and the disappeared mullions are recreated; a complement apocryphal book, a building on two levels covered in lean-to building leant at the southern part, is destroyed in 1917; finally, inside the home, the partitions added to the 17th century to create new parts, smaller, are withdrawn. This work of restoration is continued in the Années 1950.
