- found: Hautes-Pyrénées (Gascon: Nauts Pirenèus / Hauts Pirenèus); a department in southwestern France. It was created at the time of the French Revolution, on 4 March 1790. Historically the area broadly covered by the département was known as Bigorre, a territory at times independent but later part of Gascony province. Large parts of the area were held by the English after the Treaty of Brétigny, 1360. In the 16th century, it was part of the Huguenot domain of the monarchs of Navarre, brought to France by Henri IV.)
