Ribeaucourt, Somme
Ribeaucourt (French pronunciation: [ʁibokuʁ]) is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.
Ribeaucourt is situated 15 miles (24 km) east of Abbeville, on the D185 and D66 crossroads.
The name of the commune is a corruption of Erembauldocurtis (which comes from "Eremboldus" = (skilful or bold leader) and "curtis", meaning a fortified house). Eremboldus was the name of several male members of the Ribeaucourt family, vassals to the abbey of Saint Riquier. The other communes in France bearing the same name have the same origins.
During the Second World War, Ribeaucourt forest was the site of launching ramps for the German V1 missiles. The Germans also occupied the château. Allied bombardments on the 5 and 7 July 1944 caused serious damage to the village and the forest.
