Breteuil (French pronunciation: [bʁətœj]) or Breteuil-sur-Noye (French pronunciation: [bʁətœj syʁ nwa], literally Breteuil on Noye) is a commune in the Oise department in northern France.[3]

It is located in the Noye valley.

The Duke of Normandy gave a charter to Breteuil guaranteeing it many freedoms. After the Norman conquest of England and later the Norman Conquest of Ireland, the "law of Breteuil" was granted to many towns in those countries.[4][5]
