Du siège de 1240 à la création de la bastide royal by Klod5
Avec le soutien de la noblesse locale et la complicité des habitants des faubourgs Saint-Michel et Saint-Vincent, Raimond Trencavel II, déchu de l'héritage paternel, assiège la forteresse. Le 17 septembre 1240, l'offensive est lancée, déployant durant 25 jours grand renfort de mines et de balistes. La défense active du sénéchal Guillaume des Ormes soutenu par les troupes de Louis IX repousse Trencavel dans ses retranchements le 12 octobre. Il est contraint à renoncer à ses droits en 1246 ; un an après, il brise son sceau en signe de soumission devant Louis IX qui autorise la création de la bastide sur la rive de l'Aude. Comme l'annonçait le traité de Paris en 1229, Alphonse de Poitiers hérite du comté de Toulouse à la mort de Raymond VII. Le jeune frère du roi et sa femme Jeanne meurent sans héritier en 1271 ; le comté de Toulouse devient possession du roi qui rattache ainsi définitivement le Midi au domaine capétien.With the support of the local nobility and the complicity of the inhabitants of the outskirts Saint-Michel and Saint-Vincent, Raimond Trencavel II, fallen of the paternal inheritance, besieges the fortress. September 17, 1240, the offensive is thrown, opening out during 25 days big reinforcement of mines and balistes. The active defense of the Guillaume sénéchal of the Elms sustained by the troops of Louis IX repulses Trencavel in his stoppings October 12. He is forced to give up his rights in 1246; one year after, he breaks his seal in sign of submissiveness owing Louis IX that allows the creation of the bastide on the strand of Aude. As the treaty of Paris announced it in 1229, Alphonse of Poitiers inherits the county of Toulouse to the death of Raymond VII. The young brother of the king and his wife Jeanne die without heir in 1271; the county of Toulouse becomes possession of the king that connects the South of France thus definitely to the domain capétien.
