Duchy of Gascony
The Duchy of Gascony (also Vasconia; French: duché de Gascogne, duché de Vasconie; Basque: Baskoniako dukerria) was a duchy in present southwestern France, roughly corresponding to the modern region of Gascony after 824. The Duchy of Gascony, then known as Wasconia, was originally a Frankish march formed to hold sway over the Basques (Vascones). However, the Duchy went through different periods, from its early years with its distinctively Basque element to the merge in personal union with the Duchy of Aquitaine to the later period as a dependency of the Plantagenet kings of England.In the Hundred Years' War, Charles V of France conquered most of Gascony by 1380, and under Charles VII of France it was incorporated into the kingdom of France in its entirety in 1453.
