Arques

Arques (anc. Archiae), a village in the department of Seine Inferieure, France, about three miles south-east of Dieppe. It is situated at the point where a little stream of the same name is joined by the Bethune. The remains of a strong castle show the former importance of the place; and here Henry IV. defeated the Duke of Mayenne in 1589. The Marquis of Salisbury has for many years had a country residence close by.
