EUDON THE GREAT

Duke of Aquitaine and Vasconie (Gascony), born in 665 A.D.succeeded his father Boggison about 681.
He added to his dominions large tracts obtained by conquest from the Kings of Austrasia and Neustria. In 720 a large army of Saracens invaded his dominions, and were signally defeated near Tolosa (Toulouse), the capital of Eudon. About 732 Aquitaine was invaded by Abderrahman the Saracen, who defeated Eudon. The latter then solicited the aid of his former enemy Charles Martel, who gained an important victory over the Saracens at Poitiers. Died in 735 A.D.

NOVEMBER 9TH, 2014 IS THE DATE OF THE PARTICIPATORY PROCESS OF CATALONIA ON THE EAST COAST OF THE PYRENEAN ISTHMUS.

For those who are not aware of what is going on in Catalonia these days, this video shows an interview with one of the leaders of a political party that with some others have built up a powerful movement for independence of Catalonia. They are trying to set up a pacific and democratic participatory process by the means of voting in a referendum among the the seven million Catalans.

The video is in Spanish, but there are interesting images of the magnitude of this movement. The interview is about a discussion on what the alternatives are, since the Spanish government has decided to forbid such democratic act. And this leader is calling for pacific civil disobedience. They are determined  to vote...... no matter what !!

Once again, it is natural that ancient Pyrenean countries claim back their ripped off  sovereignty by the conquerors, forcefully. We shall keep informing about this crucial development due for Sunday
