Sauqueville is a town of about 300 inhabitants in the Seine-Maritime department of Normandy. It was the seat of the Norman Herbrand de Salcavilla, who invaded England with William the Conqueror in 1066 and founded a long line of aristocrats named Sackville. The town of Sackville, New Brunswick is named after Herbrand's descendent George Germain, the Viscount Sackville, who was Secretary of State for the Colonies from 1775 to 1782. Sackville and Sauqueville ought to be twinned if they are not already, they look enough alike. Source.
