An interesting hoard of coins from the High Middle Ages became known as the "Beauvais Hoard", because some of the British and European coins found with the lot were from the French abbey located in Beauvais.
Obleganje leta 1472 pod vodstvom burgundskega vojvode Karla Drznega, je bilo znano po junaštvu mestnih žensk, pod vodstvom Jeanne Hachette, v čigar spomin še vedno praznujejo s procesijo 14. oktobra (praznik Sainte Angadrême), v katerem imajo ženske prednost pred moškimi.
