Foix
The County of Foix was a Pyrenean fief centred on the castle above Foix. In 1337 Gaston II held it alongside Béarn, acquired by his family in 1290.
Gaston died in 1343 after serving at the siege of Algeciras. His son Gaston III Phoebus, author of the Book of the Hunt, ruled until 1391. After a disputed succession the Foix-Grailly line took over, its heirs becoming kings of Navarre. The last inherited the French throne as Henry IV in 1589, and Foix joined the royal domain in 1607.
