Armagnac

The dark, almost black oak trees from the ancient Monlezun forest in the Armagnac region are obligatory for any serious Armagnac.

The name was derived from Bernard Count of Armagnac, the duke's father-in-law, who gave the party most of its energy.

Had the doctors of Poitiers been less zealously Armagnac they would henceforth have mistrusted Jeanne and suspected her of heresy.

The English received the arrow, untied the letter, and having read it they cried: "This a message from the Armagnac strumpet."

In the words of an Armagnac prophet of the time: "the keys of the war gates knew the hands that had forged them."

The predictions and verses of the Armagnac ecclesiastics were spread abroad everywhere with amazing rapidity.
