The Lords of Agel

The history of the Château reads like a portrait gallery of the feudal lords of South-West France… curiously, many of them called Bernard: from 1304 to 1432, Bernard d’Auriac, Guillaume de Molini, Bernard de Maureilhan, Bernard Randulphe, Pierre de Bongigosis, Bernard de Haupoul, Bernard d’Auriac and Bernard d’Aimard.
In 1432, a sale is on record from Bernard de Corsons to Gabriel de Verseilles.
In 1543, the new owners of Agel are Pierre and Simon de Beauxhostes.
In 1764, the property is recorded as having been sold to Jean d’Augier of Narbonne. Thereafter, Agel continued to pass as a legacy from one owner to another, until it passed into the hands of the present owners, the Ecal family.
