Geography

History
The creation of Quettehou dates back to the Viking invasions when Ketil, chief of a Viking tribe, decided to settle at the top of the hill dominating the bay of Morsalines. With time, Ketil's hill (Ketil holm) became known as Quettehou.
The Black Prince was knighted in the local church by his father, King Edward III of England, on 12 July 1346, prior to the Battle of Crécy.[3]
