Les "3 M" de Miromesnil
Armand Thomas Hue
The Great Men
THE HUE FAMILY
The Hue Family gets allied with the Dyel family in the XVII century, and gets the name of ‘Hue de Miromesnil’. The most famous, Armand Thomas Hue, was born in 1723 on the Latigny lands. He was named first president of the Rouen parliament, in 1757.
In 1771, when parliaments were axed, a reform to which the marquis was opposed, he went into exile in the lands of Miromesnil. Louis XVI named him Minister of justice on the advice of the Count of Maurepas. His name stays related to the abolition of the Preparatory Question (the last torture before the execution of the prisoners).
During the French Revolution, he asked to take part in Louis XVI defence. He was arrested by the public salvation comity and sent to prison. Liberated, hewent into exile on his land of Miromesnil and died here in 1796.
GUY DE MAUPASSANT
Normand writer, he was born in the castle on the 5th August 1850. His parents were renting the place and stayed here for four years. Some archives related to Maupassant’s birth: letter from her mother, his birth certificate presented, prove so.
Even if Maupassant left the castle at the age of three, he writes a short story ‘the meeting’, where he names the Miromesnil street, meeting place for Madame Haggan and the handsome count of Martelet, her lover.
