Note: Historic region in southwestern France. It corresponds to the modern département of Gironde and to most of the départements of Lot-et-Garonne, Dordogne, Lot, and Aveyron. From Roman times until the Middle Ages, the region of Guyenne was simply part of the region of Aquitaine, of which the name Guyenne is a corruption. Guyenne merged with Gascony during the centuries before the French Revolution in the gouvernement of Guyenne-et-Gascogne. It was under English control in the Middle Ages. It disappeared as a political entity after the Revolution. |
