From the 14th century onwards, the area was in the middle of the conflicts of the Hundred Years War . The residents sheltered behind defensive structures, such as the Bruix castle, a fief of the baronate of the same name , the remains of which can still be seen today. In the 16th century, the Vicomté of Tursan was placed under the authority of the Viscount Henry of Navarre , who later became King Henry IV of France.
