  Captal de Buch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Captal de Buch (later Buché) was an archaic feudal title in Gascony, captal from Latin capitalis "prime, chief" in the formula capitales domini or "principal lords." As an actual title the word "captal" was used only by the seigneurs of Trene, Puychagut, Epernon and Buch.
