Rouen (pronounced in
French, sometimes also ) is the historical capital city of
Normandy, in northwestern
France on the River
Seine, and currently the capital of the
Haute-Normandie (Upper Normandy)
région. Once one of the largest and most prosperous cities of
medieval Europe, Rouen was the seat of the
Exchequer of Normandy in the Middle Ages. It was one of the capitals of the
Anglo-Norman dynasties, which ruled both England and large parts of modern France from the 11th century to the 15th century. It was in Rouen where
Joan of Arc was burnt in 1431. People from Rouen are called Rouennais.
