history

The fortunes of the Middle Ages were quickly determined by the English occupation, which began in the 11th century and ended with the end of the Hundred Years War in 1453. The Huguenot Wars between Protestant and Catholic parties raged in the 16th and 17th centuries. With the reign of the French King Henry IV and the Edict of Nantes of 1598, peace finally returned. Distinctive personalities determined the history of the community. The clergyman Darjou, for example, was pastor of the parish between 1638 and 1681. Another clergyman named Soustrar had an eventful life in the 18th century. He ended up in prison several times, most notably when he refused to take the required oath on the civil constitution of the clergy during the French Revolution . The Batbedat family was one of the most important families in the region during the Ancien Régime . At the end of the 18th century, however, Léonard de Poyanne's granddaughter owned the village. Certain properties were sold as national goods during the French Revolution . The 19th century was marked by the expansion of the cultivation of corn and oak.
