Féas was already recorded in the files under the name Héas in 1343. Paul Raymond, archivist and historian of the 19th century, noted the mentions of the settlements Ance and Féas under the name Ansse and Feaas in 1385 on the occasion of a census. 23 households at Ance and 21 households at Féas were counted and it was noted that the settlements are in the Bailliage of Oloron . At that time, Féas was a pilgrimage site with a Sainte-Vigne chapel , the location of which is now unknown. During the Middle Ages, Féas kept a mound castle and a castle on a higher rock. Féas has had a school since the 15th century.
As a result of the Edict of Nantes , Féas was one of the first eight parishes in Béarn to reintroduce the Catholic religion. The French King Henry IV , who signed the edict in 1598, had been King of Navarre since 1572 and was himself the leader of the Huguenots in the Huguenot Wars , which ended with the edict.
