- Viscounty_of_Béarn abstract "The viscounty of Béarn (Gascon: Bearn or Biarn) was a medieval lordship in the far south of France, part of the Duchy of Gascony from the late ninth century. In 1347 the viscount refused to acknowledge the suzerainty of the French king and declared Béarn and independent principality. It later entered a personal union with the Kingdom of Navarre in 1479 and France in 1589. In 1620 the king formally incorporated Béarn as a province of France.The citation of a certain Gasto Centuli vicecomes Bearnensis is the first attestation of a specific regional organization in the late 860s/early 870s. Its first parliamentary body, the Cour Major, was formed in 1080. Bearn became a part of the Duchy of Aquitaine, which passed to the Kings of England through Eleanor of Aquitaine, and was thus subject to the Kingdom of England for a little over a century (1242–1347). Béarn passed to the county of Foix in 1290; in 1347 Count Gaston III Fébus paid homage to the king of France for his own county, but refused to give homage for Béarn, which he claimed as an independent fief, with its chief seat his stronghold at Pau, a site that had been fortified by the 11th century, which was made the official capital the seat of the independent principality of Béarn in 1464. Later, the Pyrenean territory passed through heiresses to the Kingdom of Navarre (see below).Béarn went on to be ruled by Henry II of Navarre, who inherited it from his mother, while at the same time the Kingdom of Navarre was almost entirely annexed by Spain (with only Lower Navarre, north of the Pyrenees, not annexed by Spain). Henry III of Navarre became King Henry IV of France in 1589, but he kept all his estates distinct from France. It was only in 1607 that he conceded to the demands of the Parlement of Paris, and reunited with the French crown his domains of County of Foix, Bigorre, Quatre-Vallées, and Nébouzan, conforming to the tradition that the king of France would have no personal domain. However, he refused to unite Béarn and Lower Navarre with the French crown, since these territories were sovereign countries, not formally under French sovereignty like Foix, Bigorre, and his other estates.Thus Béarn and Lower Navarre remained only in a personal union with France (i.e. united to France through the person of Henry, both King of France and King of Navarre). It was only in 1620, ten years after his death, that Béarn and Lower Navarre were united to the French crown and entered French sovereignty following a decree by Henry's heir King Louis XII, but the title of King of Navarre was kept by the kings of France until 1830.Previously, in 1539, the Edict of Villers-Cotteret had ordained that laws would be enacted in French (to the detriment of Latin and realm or region specific languages), but Béarn was not yet part of France and the edict did not apply there. Instead, after its incorporation into France, laws continued to be enacted in the langue d'oc until the French Revolution.[citation needed]".
