History
The bastide was founded in 1289 by John Hastings, seneschal of Gascony, who signed a treaty of coregency in the name of Edward I of England between the king, Duke of Aquitaine and the monks of Arthous abbey. The work on the gate was started in 1289, but the town wall still was not complete in the 15th century. The houses of Jurats and Sénéchal were built in the same century. ==Population==
