Wikipedia: The first mention of Buzet is in a charter of Bernard Guilhem, Count of Gascony from 997 to 1009, which confirms the gift made by his father to the Abbey of Saint-Sever of three churches and a forest in the jurisdiction of Buzet. But it is not then a question of the castle. This appeared for the first time when Bernard Guilhem's successor, Sancho de Gascogne (1009-1032), offered the monks of Saint-Pierre de Condom his "domain (curtem) named Buzet and the castle (castellum) that he himself had fortified in it, with all his farms, vineyards, woods, meadows, pastures, wet and dry, cultivated and uncultivated (…)1”. As the text specifies, the Count of Gascony had himself ordered the fortification of a previous residence, which means that he can be considered without too much doubt as the founder of the Château de Buzet.
