In 1435, during the Hundred Years' War, the English ravaged the region but were defeated at Beynes.
The village was successfully defended by Guillaume de l'Estandart, aided by the Beynes garrison who came to lend him a hand. He attacked the English near the Carcassonne farm and routed them. The site of the battle is now called "prise aux anglais".
A column erected in 1845, on the edge of the Couperie road in Beynes bears this inscription:
"Under Charles VII, the Beynes garrison defeated the enemy and this place is called la Prise aux Anglais".
