In 1622, Mautauban had successfully resisted the assaults of Louis XIII, but the city finally lost its independence with its surrender to royal forces in 1629.

After the sieges of Privas and Alès, the remaining Huguenot cities rapidly fell, and finally Montauban surrendered without resistance.

[6] In the space of 30 years, numerous discriminatory rules were established against the Protestants of Montauban, from clothing to religious restrictions.

[6] The Huguenots of Montauban were finally broken by Catholic military repression, the dragonnades, in 1683.
