Regional history

It seems that the wisigothic arianism was firmly established there since the arrival of the Visigoths in Gaulle in 412. It is still question at the beginning of the 8th century at the time of the Moslem Conquête of Spain, which reaches the the Pyrenees in 719 after having destroyed the Royaume goth in Hispanie and subjected the population. Many counts goths ariens, and even of the catholic , will not hesitate to be combined to the Moors against the resistant ones and the Francs. Others ended up giving up the Moors to be combined with the Francs at the time of Pépin the Brief like the count Ansemond, who will be killed with Narbonne in 759, combatant the Moors on behalf of king Pépin.

The local nobility, often of wisigothic origin and arienne, once rejoined with the Francs, will preserve nevertheless a certain political autonomy and perhaps even also religious (persistence of the arianism) until the middle of the 9th century.
