History

Lordship of Castelmayran

In the 12th century, the lordship belonged to a branch of the family of Argombat which founded the Cistercian abbey of Belleperche. And by 1143 the final transfer of the abbey was discussed at a meeting held in Castelmayran. [3]

Castelmayran had several co-seigneurs over time[n 1], among whose Nicolas de Gourgues, the last one before the French Revolution. [3]

Lectoure and Lomagne

Before 1789, Castelmayran was a city of Gascony, in the diocese of Lectoure, and election of Lomagne. [4][5]
