Mont-d'Astarac
Mont-d'Astarac (; oc-gsc, Lo Mont d'Astarac) is a commune in the Gers department in southwestern France. Geography History Its history goes back to the 930s, when it became the first capital of Astarac. It was on the feudal motte, still visible today, that Arnaud Garcia established his castle, having inherited the County of Astarac from his father Count de Gascogne, Garcia Sanchez (called the Crooked), grandson of the count of Castille. It is worth seeing for its monuments - tower and church - registered among the Historic Monuments of France, and for its beautiful murals dating to the 15th century.

Bohemond Of Astarac
Bohemond or Boamund (died in or after 1176) was the Count of Astarac from as early as 1153 until his death. His unusual name probably derives from the counts of Pardiac Bohemond was the second son of Bernard I of Astarac and the eldest by his second wife, Longuebrune. Sometime before May 1141 he and his elder brother, Sancho II, helped their father restore the town of Simorre after it was devastated by a fire. Bohemond succeeded either his brother or his nephew, Bernard II, by 1153. In that year he went to war with Bernard de Marestaing, who was bribed by Longuebrune, by then prioress of Bolauc, not to burn Simorre. In 1154 Bohemond had to borrow money from his mother in order to bribe Géraud d'Esparbès, the abbot of Saramon whom he had expelled, from plundering Astarac. Bohemond married Rouge (''Rubea'') de Marsan, daughter of Peter I and Beatrice III of Bigorre. The couple donated property to the abbot of Berdoues in 1172, at which point they already had three children, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sancho I Of Astarac
Sancho I ( flourished 1050–1096/1119) was the count of Astarac from around 1060. He was the only son of William I and inherited the entire county of Astarac, which had been reduced in area by partitioning among heirs in earlier generations. Sancho had at least three sons. His eldest, William, is mentioned in a document of about 1075, but died before his father. His second son, Bernard, then became his sole heir, since the youngest son, Odo (fl. 1090–1125), became a monk at Simorre. The only information provided on Sancho by the ''Genealogia comitum Guasconiae'' (Genealogy of the Counts of Gascony) in the archives of the cathedral of Sainte-Marie d'Auch is that "William begat Sancho ndSancho begat Bernard." Sancho's wife is mentioned in a document from about 1075, but is not named. Little is known of Sancho's rule other than his re-organisation of the monasteries of Astarac. Around 1050 he granted some rights he possessed in Saint-Maur, as well as the monastery there, to the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
William I Of Astarac
William I (died after 1060) was the Count of Astarac from 1022 or 1023. He was, according to the ''Genealogica Comitum Guasconiæ'', the eldest son of Arnold II of Astarac and Talesa. On his father's death he received Astarac while his younger brother Bernard Pelagus received Pardiac. In 1023, in his first recorded act as count, William received the monastery of Pessan from his younger brother Otto (or Oddo), a deacon, and granted it to the abbey of Simorre, of which Otto became abbot. In 1025 William consented to Otto's restoration of the monastery of Saramon. In 1034 William placed the abbey of Sainte-Dode, founded earlier by Otto, under the authority of Simorre. In that same year William married a relative within the degree prohibited by the church. His marriage was validated only after the performance of prescribed penance Penance is any act or a set of actions done out of Repentance (theology), repentance for Christian views on sin, sins committed, as well as an alte ...

García II Sánchez Of Gascony
García II Sánchez (Basque: ''Gartzia Antso'', French: ''Garsie-Sanche le Tors'' or ''le Courbé'', Gascon: ''Gassia Sans'', Latin: ''Garsia Sancius Corvum'', died circa 930), called the Bent, was the duke of Gascony from sometime before 887 to his death. He was probably a son of Sancho Sánchez or of Sancho Mitarra, though older sources give a genealogy with a Spanish origin.Higounet, p 44, calls it "phantasmagorical". His ancestry is, in the end, unknown. He may have been a cousin of Arnold, who some sources claim acted as regent during his minority following his father’s death in 864 (if his father was Sánchez). Other sources place Arnold as Sancho’s successor and date his death to that same year. Whatever the case, García was in power by 887. In that year, he appeared in a charter issued by the grandees of Aquitaine assembled at Bourges to decide on a course of action in the twilight of the reign of Charles the Fat. In 904, he was using the title ''comes et marchi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
