County of Foix
Before the French Revolution, Bigorre was made part of the "gouvernement" (military area) of Guienne-Gascony, whereas for general matters it depended from the "généralité" of Auch like the rest of Gascony (although for a certain period of time it depended from the "généralité" of Pau, like Béarn, Nébouzan, County of Foix, and the Basque provinces). For judicial matters, Bigorre depended from the "Parlement" of Toulouse.
