- History 1

the Communes conquered their privileges while their lords made call using
their vassal. Various localities, parishes and priories had by lords became
the vassal ones of the Lord of Montreal where they constituted the court
seigneuriale. These agglomerations go certainly up with the Roman villas
or wisigothes. The formation of the feudal system allowed the regrouping
of the populations around the principal castle of Montreal. Let us quote
among these agglomerations: Villaliégré - Villelusque - Villetravers
- Saint Andre de Sinesine - Sanches - Jean Saint of Bassé or Peel
- Pech Alibert - Villagégut - Aurincianum - and Décimaire
of Our Lady (MONTREAL), the Castle of Montreal rose in this décimaire
and constituted certainly the Center of Montreal to the means-âge.Dans
this décimaire N.D of Ameilhé remained parish church until
1318 and became vault. The new church ST VINCENT (Collegial Chapter) gathered
St Michel and St Andre.
...Montréal
always remained under the feudal domination of the Counts de Carcassonne,
being one of the most significant seigniories of Carcassez. At that time

Villeneuve - Roger of Villeneuve - Guilhaume de Roque and Bernard of villelégut-
Guillaume de Mazerolles - Hugues de Roumégus - Pierre Bernard, Pierre
Raymond de Villetravers - Arnard, Stone, Bertrand de Villetravers, Bernard
