The county of Comminges was originally part of the duchy/county of Gascony and covered the diocesis of the same name (except for the part included in the county of Aure) as well as the diocesis of Couserans. Jaurgain traces their supposed descent from Aznar Sancho Duke of Gascony. However, he reconstructs the line based mainly on patronymics and it appears to be unsupported by other primary source evidence. If the line of descent is correct, the counts recognised the suzerainty of Raoul King of France in 932. They were later independent until the 13th century....
