List counts de Bigorre

Constitution of the county of Bigorre

The King de France Charles the Bald person accepts in 840 the charter of constitution of the Comté of Bigorre to the profit of Donat-Wolf of Bigorre, which is the first to carry the title of count de Bigorre.

The membership of the counts de Bigorre to the line of the kings de France Mérovingiens by the male branch of the dukes of Aquitaine is an imagination based on the charter of Allaon, notorious forgery the XVIIe century.

Probable is the membership of the counts de Bigorre to the line of the dukes of Gascogne and the counts de Navarre and Aragon, the latter having privileged since IXe century the marriages of alliances with the counties of Béarn, Foix, Bigorre and duchy of Gascogne.
