Béarn

We are nearing the Pyrenees now, and entering the ancient and famous province of Béarn, once a noted centre of mediæval chivalry.

And this active province of Béarn kept pace; it opened quickly to the new influences, was alive to the changing zeitgeist.

The first time it happened was on a night following a day when he had hunted a wonderfully large bear in the woods of Béarn.

As France and Béarn seldom quarreled, Bigorre should have been a peaceful neighbor.

Gaston of Béarn picked a quarrel with John Botetort, and they fought it out with daggers in the fosse.
