  County of Foix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
County of Foix in 1328 (Béarn is outside of the map)
However, it should be noted that in 1290 the counts of Foix acquired Béarn, which became the center of their domain, and from that time on the counts of Foix rarely resided in the county of Foix, preferring the richer and more verdant Béarn.
During the Middle Ages, the county of Foix was an independent fief of the kingdom of France and consisted of an agglomeration of small holdings ruled by lords, who, though subordinate to the counts of Foix, had some voice in the government of the county.

Josep Vicenç Foix, J.V. Foix as he preferred to be known, was born at the end of the 19th century in a suburb of Barcelona, Sarrià, and as a youth witnessed and took part in the flourishing of Catalan culture, language and arts.
Foix had been an adherent of this movement from at least 1922 until 1936, by which time it had, in the eyes of many, come to abandon its original goals.
Foix often sailed with the fishermen and took note of their speech, purer and less corrupted Catalan than that of citydwellers.

 Froissart: The History of the Count de Foix
The count de Foix was very thankful to the king for this mark of his affection, and for the gift of Bigorre, which was unsolicited on his part; but, for anything sir Roger d'Espaign could say or do, he would never accept it.
The count de Foix, on his return to sir Gaston de Béarn, was received by him with much joy, as indeed he had reason, for he had saved his honour and secured the country, which otherwise would have been lost.
This battle and defeat of the Castillians, and the capture of the son and brother of the king, induced him to accede to a peace with the lord de Béarn on such terms as he dictated.
