history

Coudures was founded in 1305 by the landlord of Lescun on the estate of the English King Edward II as a bastide without his permission. In 1440 the village was subordinated to the Baronate von Hagetmau of the Lescun-Andouins family. In the same year Charles II. D'Albret was urged by the French king to set fire to the village, devastate it and starve the residents. The English king saved the people by sending 100 sacks of wheat and 100 sacks of more from Riscle in what is now the Département Gers . In the 16th century, the respected Marshal of France , Odex de Foix-Lautrec , was the landlord of Coudures. The French King Louis XII. trusted him to protect the dauphin , the future King Francis I of. But he gained his reputation mainly on the battlefields and through his fight against the Spanish invasion in 1523. During the Renaissance , Coudures experienced an economic development through viticulture. In order to protect the vineyards, the residents were prohibited from keeping goats in 1649. The oak forest, whose acorns were used to fatten pigs, played another major role in the village's economy. In 1567 a market hall was built for the bi-weekly market, which was also used for the school and for meetings. In the 17th century the barley became scarce, from 1700 the cultivation of maize contributed to the supply. From 1771 to 1772, today's Route départementale 944, the former Route nationale 644 from Coudures to Aubagnan, was built at great expense. A production of sandstone blocks was used to pave the streets in Coudures and the new country road and marks a step towards a craft business. The seeding of pines resulted in additional sources of income (wood and resin ). In addition, wax candles were made in Coudures. With the French Revolution , today's municipality was put together with the inclusion of the Ancos district between the Bas and Ruisseau de l'Estéla rivers and the Cantiran district north of the Bas.
Population development
After records began, the population rose to a high of around 980 by the middle of the 19th century. As a result, the size of the community fell to around 385 inhabitants during short recovery phases by the turn of the millennium, before a phase of growth began that recently seems to have been declining again.

Attractions
- Parish church dedicated to Martin of Tours . Between 1890 and 1897 Pastor Foy had the Gothic church radically rebuilt. He allowed three altars made of marble and the holy water font up, the glass window according to the drawings of Eugène Viollet-le-Duc need, and the side chapel building. The flat ceiling inside the church was replaced by the current ribbed vault after the walls of the main nave had been raised. The building now has a nave with three naves, which is extended by a semicircular apse with two side chapels. Three round arched windows let the light fall into the choir . In the west, the square bell tower rises from the facade with a tent roof and arched sound openings. Sloping buttresses run around the building. The last restoration of the church took place in 1993.
