	The Gascony Region of South West France
		A century after Gaifre's rebellion was crushed, the Duchy of Gascony was split into separate counties (including Chalosse, Armagnac, Comminges and Bigorre) only for the Duchy to be reformed when the English Royal family held possession of the territory from 1154 to 1450 after the marriage of "Alienor of Aquitaine" to Henry Plantagenet of England.
		One of the results of the English occupation was the increased production of the Bordeaux wines, a form of agriculture that had only originally been introduced by the Romans and for the same reason - export to the mother country.
		The locality of Gascony as it is known today is the Eastern Gers (area of the Gers not included in Armagnac), which is separated from the Pyrenees by Comminges and Bigorre, the scenery is more that of rolling hills and glacier formed flat valleys.
