History
Omer and his servant s XI
Saint-Omer appears in the writings of columnists in the seventh century under the name Sithiu (Sithieu or Sitdiu) around the Abbey of Saint-Bertin founded under the leadership of Audomar (Audomarus, or Odemaars Omer). The abbey is named Bertin who worked as a companion Audomar. It was during the tenth century that the place took its current name. At the time of Charlemagne , when the last marine incursion due to a period of global warming, Saint-Omer is a port, while the current maritime Flanders is still under the waters of the North Sea and part of Calais.
With pagus d'Artois , the city entered 932 in the possession of the Counts of Flanders , and during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the fabric industry flourished there. During its period of greatest prosperity, the city was in the West among the first to benefit institutions communal , perhaps in the early 1070s . These institutions take the following institutions for mutual neighborhood, formalized as a brotherhood, which then evolve into merchant guild, which gave rise to the common . This is a common support for the Count of Flanders who gave it these liberties . Subsequently, she had to give first place in Bruges for weaving. The AA is channeled from 1165 to Gravelines , which constitute its silting up the outer harbor of the city audomaroise.
Saint-Omer was lost by the County of Flanders to the Treaty of Pont--Vendin 25 February 1212 and became one of the main squares in the county of Artois , who had just created. Ferrand of Flanders tried to retake the town but was defeated at the battle of Bovines. Therefore francization began and official documents were written in French, the Flemish seemed nonetheless the current language in the population and in the thirteenth century, the chronicler William of Andres tells us that in his time, business is argued in Flemish. Again in 1507 the custom of Saint-Omer states in Article 7 that "his major and eschevins wont have to dictate sentences raidigier criminal langaige Flamang" . The city also remained largely in the economic network of the Netherlands it was officially separated. Around the year 1300 the city counted nearly forty thousand inhabitants .
In 1384 , Saint-Omer returned to the Dukes of Burgundy, but the Peace of Nijmegen ( 1678 ) ceded it permanently to France. Epidemics did drop the number to fifteen thousand people in the fifteenth century. From 1559 to 1790 the city was the seat of the diocese of Saint-Omer, which was convened in 1801 to the diocese of Arras.
Siege and battle of Saint-Omer on 26 July 1340.
Economically prosperous city, Saint-Omer also seems to have been the late Middle Ages, between Flanders and Artois and Amiens, a relatively large arts center. The construction of the powerful abbey of Saint-Bertin and the college are involved from the thirteenth century, teams of artists from Picardy and the Ile-de-France. The south door of the college (circa 1270 ) offers a very interesting testimony of this sculpture in the north of France, all the more remarkable that its composition appears to have been directly inspired by the miniature full page of a manuscript commentaries on the Bible, probably audomarois now preserved in the Bibliothque de l'Arsenal in Paris. But it's mostly in the fifteenth century, when the Nagorno-country returned to "land of promise Bourguigon", that art will know his finest hours. Between 1454 and 1459 , the famous Simon Marmion, a native of Amiens, is passing before joining Valenciennes, he painted at the command of the powerful Abbot William Fillastre, the shutters of the altar of the Abbey of Saint-Bertin, today ' Today in Berlin and London, whose hutch orfvre was performed by Steclin, goldsmiths Valenciennes original Rhine. Its location in Saint-Omer temporary, long discussed, is accredited by the existence of other works from audomaroise proved significantly marmionesque and style, and including a panel, now in the Louvre, which belonged to a polyptych Original Saint-Bertin, illustrating the double episode of Invention and the Verification Cross .
The city was the subject of numerous conflicts between France and the Netherlands from 1477 to 1677.
The religious imprint on the city's Planning audomaroise was multiplied during the Catholic Counter-Reformation in the sixteenth century. Saint-Omer greeted so many British colleges and seminaries and Walloon. The Walloon Jesuit chapel is built of 1615 to 1640.
In 1466 , Jacques de Pardieu , alderman of the city became a leper and greatly weakened by fourteen or fifteen years of experience can no longer hold any office and gives way to an alderman of Ausque Guilbert (born in Montreuil).
Valentin de Pardieu , born in 1520 or 1521 , St Omer, lord of La Motte, lord of Esquelbecq , Mayeur de Saint Omer and then governor of Gravelines died 16 July 1595 at the Battle of Doullens he built in 1578 in the town of Saint-Omer in a place that gives ownership to the Sisters of St. Catherine. In 1580 , the nuns took possession of the premises and there erected a church dedicated in 1595 by the Bishop of Saint-Omer, Jean Six . During the Revolution, the sisters of St. Catherine were scattered. In 1791 , they were thirty and five nuns chorus converse (see Converse ). The revolutionaries seized the monastery and established a foundry. It is in its crucible that ended most of the bells of the city, turned into coins, dollars and cents.
The both require that the aldermen shows the privileges formerly granted to the inhabitants of Saint-Omer by the Counts of Artois, as if the Communal Charter had been violated by "gentlemen of the city," and, for the first satisfaction, they want the resident advisor of the city of Ausque Guilbert, sent last year Montreuil Saint-Omer to replace Jacques of Jove , "became very poor and lepers after fourteen or fifteen years of practice" does can no longer perform any load.
Since the abdication of Charles V (Count of Flanders and the king of Spain), the city and its Bailiwick pass under the domination of Spain. It's the same for other counties and duchies in southern Netherlands. The Artois , the Flanders , the Hainaut , the Brabant and Luxembourg are therefore part of the Spanish Netherlands.
At the end of March 1677 began the siege of Saint-Omer by the French armies led by Philippe d'Orlans , younger brother of Louis XIV. April 5, the armies of the Dutch and Spanish coalition, led by Stadhouder William of Orange , are at Ypres. The French go to meet them. The battle took place on 10 and 11 April 1677 in the Peene valley between the villages of Noordpeene , and Zuytpeene Bavinchove. Philippe d'Orleans won the battle of the Peene. His armies are again in front of Saint-Omer April 14. Uninformed, hoping for reinforcements - which of course will not come - the Audomarois resist another 6 days! Finally, on 20 April 1677 , the city of Salt-Omer grave. A year later, in 1678, the Treaties of Nijmegen validate the consequences of the battle of the Peene, Saint-Omer and north of Artois , and Flanders castellanies Cassel and Bailleul finally become French.
The fortifications were redesigned by Vauban from 1678 , as part of its draft backyard. The Commissioner General of the fortifications of Louis XIV superimposed to the chamber, already strengthened by Charles V in the sixteenth century , its own defense system. Advanced works, new strongholds , and new platforms are created to house the artillery.
From 1787 to 1795 few thousands of patriots of the Netherlands North took refuge in Saint-Omer or in the nearby towns of Bethune , Watten , Bergues , Gravelines and Dunkirk.
In 1800 , Saint-Omer was still the most populous city of the department .
The nineteenth century was a period of urban and economic development, with the arrival of the railway in 1848. But the little town was marked by the Industrial Revolution. The Grand was designed by the architect's plans Lefranc, a new city hall associated with Italian-style theater was built with stones from the former Abbey of Saint-Bertin , and a music school, a school of fine arts, and library. The fortifications were partly demolished to make way for the boulevards. It only remains of the fortifications ation that the twenty acre public garden with arboretum, bandstand, and French parterre, which was established in 1894 at the foot of the cathedral.
The station was built in current 1904 by architect Clement Ligny, replacing the first station being too small. The central part of the station equipped with a bell and wrought iron works was damaged during the Second World War.
During the two world wars , the city was badly damaged. In the Saint-Omer were built by the army of Nazi Germany the blockhouse Eperlecques in 1942 , and the Dome of Helfaut in 1943. These facilities, which were originally used as bases for launching V2 rockets were bombed by the allied army and never did not enter into service. The city has been released September 5, 1944 by the 1st Armoured Division (Poland).
