Meauzac is a commune in the Tarn-et-Garonne department in the Occitanie region in southern France.

History[]

Meauzac has a vivid history spanning from the year of 406 CE to the modern day. It started out when a Gallo-Roman villa was built up, and villagers were attracted to the area due to the fertility of the area, being next to the Tarn river.[3]

In May 1369, the English arrived at Meauzac and besieged the castle. After negotiations took place, Meauzac decreed it would pledge allegiance to the Prince of Wales as its Lord. Upon this decision, the English left 40 men-at-arms and 20 archers, who defended the town for 20 years.
