AGENAIS , or AGENOIs, a former See also:province of See also:France. In See also:ancient See also:Gaul it was the See also:country of the Nitiobroges with Aginnum for its See also:capital, and in the 4th See also:century it was the Civitas Agennensium which was a See also:part of Aquitania Secunda and which formed the See also:diocese of See also:Agen. Having in See also:general shared the fortunes of See also:Aquitaine during the Merovingian and Carolingian periods, Agenais next became an hereditary countship in the part of the country now called See also:Gascony (Vasconia). In 1038 this See also:count-See also:ship was See also:purchased by the See also:dukes of Aquitaine and See also:counts of See also:Poitiers.

Henry See also:Plantagenet in 1152 brought it under the sway of See also:England; but when See also:Richard Cceur-de-See also:Lion married his See also:sister See also:Joan to See also:Raymund VI., count of See also:Toulouse, in 1196, Agenais formed part of the princess's See also:dowry; and with the other estates of the last See also:independent count of Toulouse it lapsed to the See also:crown of France in 1271. This, however, was not for See also:long; the See also:- KING

king of France had to recognize the See also:prior rights of the king of England to the See also:possession of the countship, and restored it to him in 1279. During the See also:wars between the See also:English and the See also:French in the 14th and 15th centuries, Agenais was frequently taken and retaken, the final See also:retreat of.the English in 1453 at last leaving the king of France in peaceable possession. Thenceforth Agenais was no more than an administrative See also:term. At the end of the ancien regime it formed part of the " Gouvernement " of See also:Guienne, and at the Revolution it was incorporated in the See also:department of Lotet-See also:Garonne, of which it constitutes nearly the whole. The See also:title of count of Agenais, which the See also:kings of England had allowed to fall into desuetude, was revived by the kings of France, and in 1789 was held by the See also:family of the dukes of See also:Richelieu.
There is no See also:good See also:history of Agenais; that published by Jules See also:Andrieu in 1893 (Histoire de l'Agenais, 2 vols.) being quite inadeuate. The Bibliographie generate de l'Agenais, by the same author (1886-1891, 3 vols.), may be found useful. (C.
