Amanieu VII d'Albret

Amanieu VII d'Albret (died 1326), one of the most powerful lords in Gascony, held the lordship of Albret from 1298. A kinsman of the Plantagenets and Pope Martin IV, he sat on the English King's Council under Edward I and Edward II.

In 1286 he ended a private war with the English seneschal of Gascony for a payment from Edward I. In 1302 he negotiated the Treaty of Paris that restored Gascony to England.

He then courted both crowns, taking his quarrels to the Parlement of Paris and in 1324 joining the French in the War of Saint-Sardos. His son Bernard Ezi V succeeded him.
