Lordship of L'Isle-Jourdain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

L'Isle-Jourdain (Occitan: Ylla or Ilha) was a lordship and then county near Gers in Gascony during the High Middle Ages. It took its name, Jourdain, from its crusading baron who was baptised in the River Jordan on the First Crusade. Its last count sold the fief to the King of France.
