During the eighth religious war , the royal army, with the support of English auxiliary troops, succeeded on May 2, 1593 in defeating the Catholic league at Le Port-Ringeard . However, the victory was largely insignificant for the outcome of the war.
On October 26, 1793, the battle of Entrammes took place here between the republican troops and the Vendée rebels . In doing so, the united and outnumbered troops of the Vendée managed to clearly defeat the Republicans.
