Expressions Definition
Armagnac (drink) Armagnac, the region of France, has given its name to its distinctive kind of brandy or eau de vie, made of the same grapes as Cognac and undergoing the same aging in oak barrels, but without double distillation. Armagnac production is overseen by a Bureau National Interprofessionel de l'Armagnac (BNIA). (references)
Armagnac (party) The Armagnac party was prominent in French politics and warfare during the Hundred Years' War. They were allied with the supporters of Charles, Duke of Orléans against John of Burgundy after Charles' father Louis, Duke of Orléans was killed at the orders of the Duke of Burgundy in 1407. The party took its name from Charles' father-in-law, Bernard VII, Count of Armagnac, who guided the young Duke during his teens and provided much of the financing and some of the seasoned Gascon troops that besieged Paris before their defeat at St. Cloud. Later, John of Burgundy was sent back to his lands, and Bernard of Armagnac remained in Paris and, some say, in the Queen's bed. He was assassinated in 1418. (references)
Armagnac (region) The hilly Armagnac region in the foothills of the Pyrenées, between the Adour and Garonne rivers is a historic comté of the Duchy of Gascony (Gascogne), established in 601 in the southwest of Aquitaine (now France). The first Count of Armagnac was Bernard le Louche. When Gascogne was linked to Aquitaine by the Treaty of Meaux, 1229, the county of Armagnac was the most powerful of the fiefs of Gascogne. The three great territorial lords were the Count of Armagnac, the Count of Foix, and the Lord of Albret. (references)
Bernard VII, Count of Armagnac Bernard VII, Count of Armagnac (1360 - June 12, 1418) was count of Armagnac, count of Charolais and constable of France. (references)
Bernat II Tumapaler of Armagnac Bernat II Tumapaler of Armagnac was duke of Gascony 1039-1052 and count of Armagnac 1020-1061. (references)
Jean V of Armagnac Jean V dArmagnac (1450-1473), vicomte de Lomagne while his father lived, the next-to-last comte dArmagnac of the older branch, was the controversial son of Jean IV and Princess Isabel of Navarre, an emblem of 15th century aristocratic violence, treachery and indiscipline, a wildman from one of the most powerful virtually independent feudalities of the southwest. (references)
Sud-Est Armagnac The Sud-Est S.E.2010 Armagnac was a large French airliner of the late 1940s, intended for transatlantic service. After delays to the planning thanks to World War II, work proceeded quickly and the first prototype flew on April 2, 1949. The aircraft was intended for Air France, but the airline refused delivery in 1952 when the first production aircraft was ready. Performance and range were disappointing. The planes - eight instead of a projected fifteen, were picked up by TAI (Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux) (later UTA), who used them for eight months and then discarded them as unprofitable. The aircraft passed to SAGETA (the Société Auxiliaire de Gérance et d'Exploitation de Transport Aériens) who used them in French Indochina for transport duties. They were highly regarded in this role, but French rule in the area was almost over and they were surplus by mid-1954. All were broken up in 1955. (references)
