Handwritten Annals Of The City Of Toulouse
The Handwritten Annals of the City of Toulouse, also known as the ''Annals of the Capitouls'', were held from 1295 to 1787. They consist of a collection of books on which were recorded each year the administrative acts as well as the rights and privileges of the capitouls, the municipal consuls of Toulouse.Christian Cau, « ''Les capitouls de Toulouse - L'intégrale des portraits des Annales de la Ville, 1352-1778'' ». Éditions Privat, 1990. These Annals are particularly renowned for the illuminations that decorate them, an original and unique example in Europe of miniature portraits of municipal consuls in the exercise of their office. Although a revolutionary autodafé destroyed most of them on August 10, 1793, the surviving sample nonetheless constitutes an exceptional testimony to Toulouse's past.Out of 452 chronicles, 183 have completely disappeared. But only 75 portrait plates escaped destruction, 69 of which are preserved in Toulouse. The work of the capitouls The c ...

Augustinian Convent (Toulouse)
The Augustinian Convent of Toulouse was founded in 1286 for members of the Augustinians, Augustinian religious order. It was first established outside the city walls, near the Matabiau quarter, then, between 1310 and 1341 moved to the corner of rue du Musée and rue des Arts. In 1790 it ceased to be a convent and today its buildings house the Musée des Augustins. History The construction of the convent In 1269 a community of Hermits of St. Augustine was founded outside the city of Toulouse, near to the Montolieu quarter. The construction was due to the Chapter of Canons Regular of St. Sernin who undertook to build a convent in exchange for land and rights that newcomers granted them from the donations they had received (Departmental Archives of Haute Garonne, 101 H 638). As frequently happens in the history of religious foundations, this initial location proved inadequate to the needs of the community. In 1309–1310, the hermits of St. Augustine obtained the Pope's Clement ...

Battle Of Toulouse (844)
The Battle of Toulouse in 844 was part of the campaign by Charles the Bald in Aquitaine to force the submission of Pepin II of Aquitaine, the rebellious son of Pepin, the half-brother of Charles. The historical context of this battle is the three-year Carolingian civil war, culminating in the Battle of Fontenay-en-Puisaye in 841. Here Charles and Louis the German defeated their brother Lothair I, who retreated to the south with his army. A key player in this intrigue was Bernard of Septimania, Count of Barcelona, who remained outside the battle awaiting its result, upon which he sent his son William of Septimania to offer homage to Charles and to promise him that his father would obtain the submission of Charles’ nephew Pepin II, who was claiming to rule Aquitaine. It seems that Bernard had no intention of keeping this last promise. During Charles’ campaign in Aquitaine of 842, he decided to punish Bernard, dispossessing him of the county of Toulouse in favor of Acfred, Coun ...
