Chateau de Puilaurens

Описание: Chateau de Puilaurens Lapradelle-Puilaurens (11) N42.8037, E2.2994

Vers 1250, le château passe aux mains de la royauté française. Par une lettre d'août 1255, Louis IX ordonne au sénéchal de Carcassonne de fortifier le château. Saint Louis le fit renforcer pour défendre le Languedoc contre les incursions espagnoles. Le traité de Corbeil en 1258 passe le château au rang des forteresses de défense face à l'Aragon. Il fait alors partie des "Cinq fils de Carcassonne" avec les châteaux de Quéribus, Peyrepertuse, Termes et Aguilar, tous situés en haut de pitons rocheux "imprenables". Une garnison dirigée par Odon de Monteuil avec un chapelain et 25 sergents occupe le château de Puilaurens en 1259. Des travaux de consolidations et de fortification se poursuivent sous l'impulsion de Philippe le Hardi de 1270 à 1285. Le château va alors résister à plusieurs attaques aragonaises et restera comme la forteresse la plus méridionale de France.

Castle of Puilaurens Lapradelle-Puilaurens (11) N42.8037, E2.2994

The Château de Puilaurens (also Puylaurens; in Occitan: lo Castèl de Puèg-Laurenç) is one of the so-called Cathar castles in what is now the South of France. It is located in the commune of Lapradelle-Puilaurens in the Aude département. The castle stands on a spur of rock above the Boulzane Valley and the villages of Lapradelle and Puilaurens. There is a path from Axat to the castle. The castle here had belonged to the Abbey of Saint-Michel de Cuxa before it was acquired by the Queen of Aragon in 1162. As Aragonese property it was outside the territory ravaged by the Crusaders during the Cathar wars. Like Queribus it therefore provided a refuge for those fleeing from the invading forces. Those who took refuge there included both Cathars and faidits, that is to say those who had forfeited their property because of their opposition to the invaders. These faidits included high nobles, such as Guillaume de Peyrepertuse.Puilaurens was ceded to the French some time before 1255. After 1258 its possession by the French crown was ratified by the Treaty of Corbeil, when the Aragonese border was moved south. In 1260, it was garrisoned by 25 sergeants. It was taken by Spanish troops in 1635, but lost all strategic importance after the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659 when the border was moved even further south to its present position along the crest of the Pyrenees.
Numerous Cathar deacons sought refuge here after the fall of Montsegur. It is thought that the castle was finally forced to surrender (probably around the same time as Queribus) c.1255.
