History

In the beginning of the 13th century, those who survived the Crusade of Simon de Montfort created a Bastide in the east side of fort Alemanni, named Bastide of Mount Alaman or in Doat. Later, in 1212, this Bastide was renamed Villeneuve by Déodat Alaman, who was the new founder. The new fortified town was built on a ledge with a view to the Vère River. The Archdiocese of Albi comprised the whole of the department of Tarn. Villeneuve-sur-Vere belonged to the Archbishop of Albi, until 1479. Then the lordship was acquired by Louis d'Amboise, who became the new bishop of Albi.
