“ CHÉRUEL, PIERRE ADOLPHE (1800–1891) , French historian, was born at Rouen on the 17th of January 1809. He was educated at the École Normale Supérieure, and became a fellow (agrégé) in 1830. His early studies were devoted to his native town. His Histoire de Rouen sous la domination anglaise au XV⁠e siècle (1840) and Histoire de Rouen pendant l’époque comunale, 1150–1382 (Rouen, 1843–1844) , are meritorious productions for a time when the archives were neither inventoried nor classified, and contain useful documents previously unpublished. ”
