"The vicomté of Oloron, adjacent to the vicomté of Béarn in south-central Gascony, is first recorded in the late 10th century. It lay on "la plaine du Gave" and included "Oloron, Navarrenx et Sauveterre, les vallées d’Aspe, d’Ossau, de Josbaig et de Barétous", except for "Lanne et le Barlanès" which formed part of the vicomté de la Soule[338]. The vicomtés passed to the vicomtes de Béarn in the mid-11th century through the marriage of its heiress to Centule [IV] Vicomte de Béarn. "

"The foundation of the vicomté of Béarn is probably dated to the late 860s/early 870s, as shown by a later undated charter, under which "dominus Willelmus Sancii comes Gasconiorum" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Vincent-de-Lucq, which recalls that "quidem Rex" (which from the context appears to refer to Sancho "Mitarra" Duke of Gascony) installed "avo Vicecomitis [Gasto Centuli Vicecomes Bearnensis]" with Béarn[1]. The document does not name the first vicomte. According to the spurious documents relating to the monastery of Alarcon, discussed fully in the Introduction to chapter 1 of the present document, the vicomtes de Béarn descended from the family of the first dukes of Gascony. However, other surviving primary sources do not establish this descent beyond doubt. Jaurgain states that the vicomté of Béarn included "la vallée du gave de Pau, de Saint-Pé de Générès à Argagnon, et le pays de Vicbilh" when it was founded, to which were added the vicomtés of Oloron and Montaner in the 11th century[2]. Guillaume VIII Duke of Aquitaine granted complete rights of suzerainty "sur le Béarn, la Soule, et les villages de Salies et Carresse" in 1086[3]. The direct male line of the original family of vicomtes de Béarn became extinct in 1134, after which the vicomté passed successively to the family of the vicomtes de Gabarret and the Montcada family. Marie Vicomtesse de Béarn swore homage to the king of Aragon in 1170, renewed by Vicomte Gaston VI in 1187[4]. Gaston VI Vicomte de Béarn incorporated "la ville d’Orthez et le pays de Rivière-Gave", which he had conquered from the vicomte de Dax, into his domains in 1193[5]. The vicomté of Béarn recovered its independence at the end of the 12th century[6]. It passed by marriage to the comtes de Foix in the early 14th century, and was united with the French crown by edict dated 19 Oct 1620[7]. "

"Montaner is located in the Pau arrondissement of the eastern part of the present-day French département of Pyrénées-Atlantiques, north-west of Tarbes. Vicomtes de Montaner are recorded in primary sources from the early 11th century until the end of the same century. The primary sources, extracted below, suggest that the vicomtes were vassals of the comtes de Bigorre. No indication has been found of the fate of the vicomté de Montaner after the end of the 11th century. "
