The marechaussee was a rural police force in Old Regime France, which was led by a prevot des marechaux. It served both as a royal army keeping order particulary in the countryside and on highways, and as a royal court judging without appeal such cas prevotaux as a vagabondage, mendicancy, and highway robbery. In 1720, the royal government tried to reform the marechaussee after abolishing almost its entire old organisation and reorganizing a new one. The reform established a national police network though its force was insufficient, which was deployed closely in the kingdom, put under the direct control of the Crown and had unified organisation, districts, and chain of command. We drew a list of men of the new marechaussee in Haute-Normandie (1720-1750) by refering to two registers (Y^b 858 and Y^b 859) conserved in the Historical Service of the Army (Service historique de l'Armee de Terre) at Vincennes (France). This is one of our preparations for analyzing the organisation and the function of the marechaussee in Haute-Normandie.
