In 1026, the Canton of Ryes was part of the Bessin County, former Frank diocese of Bayeux that became Norman under Rollon in 928.
Raoul d’Argences, a Benedictine monk from Fécamp entrusted the land of Ryes to Thomas, Ranulf’s son.
It represented half of the parish and included La Ferme Manoir du Pavillon, plus half of the church shared with the Abbey of Longues-sur-Mer.

During the winter of 1046, Hubert de Ryes and his sons – among whom Robert future bishop of Sées 1070-1082 – rescued William the Bastard  (to become William the Conqueror)  from a conspiracy of rebelled barons who were pursuing him since Valognes, north Cotentin.

Hubert shoed William’s horses back to front to mislead them. This trick, changed Normandy’s history, but also Hubert de Ryes and his family’s destiny. Despite their social Rank, his family accomplished an outstanding career.

From 1226 to 1732 we found track of Ryes leases and representation rights.

In 1443, half of Ryes, including La Ferme Manoir du Pavillon, is mentionned as ‘Barony of Ryes’. In 1668, the Abbey of Fécamp bestowed Ryes a freehold.
