history
The Bouzet family came into the possession of the Seigneurie Madirac in 1543 through the marriage of Pons du Bouzet to Marguerite de Madirac. The Seigneurie remained in the family's possession until the French Revolution (1789–1799). The last seigneur before the revolution was Léonard du Bouzet, he was a knight of the Ordre royal et militaire de Saint-Louis . His officer's license and the genealogical records of his family branch were burned in October 1793. This was a consequence of the law of July 17, 1793 (an II) , which ordered the burning of the documents relating to the property or genealogy of the nobles. In the same year Madirac received the status of a municipality. In 1801, the administrative reform under Napoleon Bonaparte (1769–1821) gave it the right to local self-government . The former Saint-Jean priory came under the authority of La Sauve-Majeure Abbey . The priory has been destroyed. Only the bell of the abbey church remains, it is located in Saint-Caprais-de-Bordeaux , as the parishes of Madirac and Saint-Caprais-de-Bordeaux were merged at the beginning of the 19th century.
