It was the seat of a lordship which dates from the earliest ages of feudalism and which fell within the silver.

Many Lords are known as Robert de Blancafort in 1029, Garnier in 1064, Godfrey's father in 1145, Godfrey's son, William, Giraud, Jean, Renaud, etc. ...

In the 17th century, perhaps under the Godfrey, is based on enjoining the Hospital of Ash. The Templars will establish a Preceptory, before being replaced by the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, which remain there until the revolution.

In 1780, fire destroyed almost the entire village.
