Vire is a commune in the Calvados department located near the river Vire. At the end of the middle ages, the village prospered; first with leather, and then with textiles. During the hundred years war, Vire was plundered in 1368 by large military companies, and delivered to the English in 1418. The english occupation would end in 1450 and would be brutal to the inhabitants. The execution of Hugues Vaux caused grief and concern amongst the population.
