Périgord
Périgord was a county centred on Périgueux in southwestern France. In 1337 Count Roger-Bernard of the Talleyrand family held it as a vassal of the French crown.
Périgord became a battleground of the Hundred Years' War. Charles VI dispossessed the last Talleyrand counts in 1398 and 1399, granting the county to Louis I of Orléans in 1400. It passed through the Châtillon and Albret families to Henry of Bourbon in 1572; after he became Henry IV in 1589, it joined the royal domain on his sister Catherine's death in 1604.
