Résumé
How and when were parish territories created in Normandy? The question needs to be addressed from a new theoretical standpoint. After a short historiography, we will reconsider the equation: ecclesia + villa = “parish”.The study of three cases located in the dioceses of Coutances and Avranches suggests that this new division of the territory into small standardized parishes is the combined result of the social, political and economic backgrounds of the XIth, XIIth and XIIIth centuries. These territorial units were set up by monks (in Lessay) and feudal lords (Néhou and Saint-Marcouf) who reorganised numerous pre-existing stuctures (churches, hermitages and former abbeys).
