The Comminges (in Gascon Occitan Comenge ) was formerly occupied by the Convènes, people of the Eastern Aquitaine. It for chief town Lugdunum Convenarum (Saint-Bertrand), had also called Communica (and by corruption Comminica , from where Comminges ), because it was used as general appointment for the assemblies or communes of the small people close to the the Pyrenees. Conquered by the Visigoth S, taken by Clovis, the country of Comminges was included/understood in 628 in the Duché of Aquitaine. The counts de Comminges died out in 1453 and the county was joined together with the Crown.
