 During its long and frequently violent history, it was the principal centre of ancient Périgord and was much more important than than the existing capital, Périgueux, because of its strategic riverside location. Around the time of Edward, Prince of Wales (1330-1376), Bergerac was an English stronghold. The Black Prince set forth from Bergerac in 1336 with his army for the crucial battle of Poitiers, the most significant battle of the Hundred Years War. It culminated in the capture of King John of France and Edward wad proclaimed Prince of Aquitaine, with a vast and illustrious court in Bordeaux. For a while there was peace, until Charles V of France and his powerful baron allies declare all English possessions forfeit and by 1369 all south-west France was in revolt. Bergerac was stormed, beseiged and fought over, being alternately occupied by both French and English forces, finally being taken over for the last time by the French in 1450. |
