ARNAUD and BEATRICE de FAUGERES 1459 – 1516

 

   From this time on, because of this transfer, and during three hundred years, the Lord of Faugères will be at the same time Lord von Lunas.

   Salomon I is followed by Gaufrid (or Gaufred), who assists as Lord of Faugères, as well as the different bishops of the surroundings and the other Lords of the people, to the ceremony of the transfer to the King LOUIS IX of all the titles of the viscount of Béziers and of Carcassonne by Raymond Trencavel, son of the late Raymond-Roger.

   After Gaufrid, we can find in 1282 Guisafred of Faugères, in 1290 an other Salomon, in 1346 again a Salomon, who we know better because of the dispute in the year 1359 between him and the habitants of Lunas, who rose against certain taxes and rights for chasing, fishing, grazing, using of the water coming from the rivers Orb and Gravezon for the watering of their gardens, repairing of the fortifications and so on.

   The successors of Salomon were Gevon de Faugères and Jean de Faugères.

   So we reach, without other particular event, the year 1459, when the Seigniory of Lunas will be divided between Arnaud and Béatrice de Faugères.

   On the 24th of November 1459, Arnaud de Faugères sells his part to Jean de Narbonne-Caylus, who marries in 1516 Béatrice de Faugères and becomes in this way the only Baron of Lunas.
