Château d'Excideuil

Château d'Excideuil appears for the first time around 1100 in a deed of gift from Viscount Adémar to the abbey of Uzerche .

Bernard Comborn, Dean of the oratory of St. Yrieix, uncle and guardian of Ademar V, had dispossessed him of the Château d'Excideuil.

Attacked in 1182 and 1184 by British troops, led on one occasion by Richard the Lion Hearted, the castle resists.

During the wars of religion, the castle, still under the domain of viscounts of Limoges, belongs to Jeanne d'Albret, on the side of the Catholics.

Abandoned by new owners who transfer objects of value and furniture to their Chateau Chalais, in Charente, the castle begins its degradation.
