It was in the near of Saint-Germain, in 993, that the consuls of Aquitaine were pièces bands that had usurped the property of their uncle Guy of Anjou, Bishop of Puy. In 1164 Pope Alexander III granted the Bishop of Puy jurisdiction over the church and place of Saint-Germain. In 1219 Bertrand de Cayres murdered in the village Robert de Mehun, one of the successors of Guy of Anjou. To this family of Saint-Germain belonged to a great ecclesiastical character, Guy de Saint-Germain, bishop of the Mount Cassin who succeeded in 1341 to the heirs who had his name, Guy de Glavenas and Artoge de Lardeyrol.
