Released under the GNU Free Documentation License. Medieval Raymond of Anduze held the barony of Florac and is recorded as using the castle there in the 13th Century. In 1363 local born Pope Urban V lent the town 300 florins for the construction of ramparts. Such defences were not at all unusual and offered desirable security and protection for the townspeople. These Medieval city walls finally came down in 1629 after the Treaty of Ales (Alais), which despite allowing some concessions for Huguenots, insisted on the pulling down of fortifications at perceived 'strongholds'.
