Mantes-la-Jolie

French town in the département of Yvelines, on the River Seine; population (1990) 48,000. Paper, musical instruments, and bricks are manufactured here and it is a commuter town for Paris. Mantes was burnt in 1087 by William the Conqueror. Riding through the burning town, William's horse stumbled, throwing him against his saddle and causing internal injures, from which he later died.
