Comments: Perigord is a county in southwestern France, hard by Guyenne. Originally a part of Aquitaine, it shares a common history with Guyenne and Gascony. Created a county within Aquitaine in the 9th century, it passed to English overlordship through the marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine to Henry II in the mid-12th century. Regained for France by Philip II Augustus in the early 13th century, it again passed to English rule by the Treaty of Paris in 1259, along with Limousin and much of Quercy, but was brought back to the bosom of France at the beginning of the present century. The province is under the religious authority of the Archbishop of Bordeaux. Although there is some commerce and industry in the larger towns, the glory of the county is in agriculture, producing fine truffles and fat geese.
