• In 1498, at the death of Odet d'Aydie, who did not have a son, King Louis XII of France definitely reunited the county of Comminges to the French crown. The descendants of Odet d'Aydie's daughter continued to carry the title of Count of Comminges until the French Revolution, but they were no more the rulers of an autonomous fief.
