History
Ludiès is characteristic of the complexity of co-lordships in the Middle Ages. Thus, the Rigaud de Vaudreuil in particular, apart from their seigneury of Trémoulet and a quarter of that of Carlaret, were also half co-lords of Ludiès and Saint-Amadou, it being understood that the other half belonged in joint possession to the King of France, and the other to the Abbey of Saint-Antonin in Pamiers, under the condition of continuing to honor the abbey with a live sparrowhawk on Saint-Antonin's Day.
