Historical background

BERGERACOIS - BERGERAC - HENRY OF LANCASTER

Henry of Lancaster (1299-1361) is the grandson of Henry III Plantagenet and the cousin of Edward III. From 1347, to thank him for the services rendered at the start of the Hundred Years' War, Henri received the seigniory of Bergerac, which he retained until his death. In 1351, the earldom of Lancaster was elevated to a duchy.
