The County of Vasconia (Basque: Gaskoiniako Konderria, Spanish: Condado de Vasconia, French: Comté de Vasconie) was a small medieval realm segregated c.830 from the Duchy of Vasconia in the lands around the Adur river in what is now known as the Northern Basque Country.
Sans Sacion fought against Charles the Bald, who didn't recognize his rights.
The county seems to have been re-incorporated to Gascony with Sans II but in 1020 part of it was subject of a treaty between Pamplona and Gascony that created the County of Labourd.
Famous quotes containing the word county:
“Don’t you know there are 200 temperance women in this county who control 200 votes. Why does a woman work for temperance? Because she’s tired of liftin’ that besotted mate of hers off the floor every Saturday night and puttin’ him on the sofa so he won’t catch cold. Tonight we’re for temperance. Help yourself to them cloves and chew them, chew them hard. We’re goin’ to that festival tonight smelling like a hot mince pie.”
—Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)
