	Gascony, France
		Gascony was part of the Roman province of Aquitania, into which the Basques, fleeing from the Visigoths in Spain, penetrated towards the end of the sixth C. During the period of Frankish rule, from 768, Vasconia was a separate duchy, and with the decline of Carolingian power it became increasingly independent.
		Along with the County of Armagnac, and thanks to the valor of the Armagnacs, Gascony controlled almost the whole of France in the time of Count Bernard VII (1391-1418).
		Later the Armagnacs were employed by King Charles VII as mercenaries against the Swedes, who inflicted a crushing defeat on them in a battle near Basle in 1444.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Toulouse
		From being the capital of the Duchy of Aquitaine, from 631, Toulouse became in 778 the capital of the County of Toulouse created by Charlemagne, and which in the tenth century was one of the main fiefs of the crown.
		The marriage (1249) of Jeanne, daughter of Raymond VII, with Alphonse de Poitiers, brother of King Louise IX, led to the uniting in 1271 of the County of Toulouse to the Crown of France, and Toulouse became the capital of the Province of Languedoc.
		The See of Toulouse was for a time made illustrious by St. Louis (1296-97), son of Charles II, King of Naples and the Two Sicilies, and of Mary, daughter of the King of Hungary: he was nephew of St. Elizabeth of Hungary and grand-nephew of St. Louis King of France.
