L'Isle-Jourdain

L'Isle-Jourdain lies on the Save, west of Toulouse. It was the centre of a lordship whose lands and markets made it a place of consequence in Gascony. In 1415 Charles IV of Armagnac purchased the county. His troubled relations with the French crown reached a crisis in 1444, when the dauphin Louis had him arrested at L'Isle-Jourdain; he was released the following year.
