The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Lancienne commanderie a été fondée par Gaston IV de Béarn, dit le Croisé, sous le nom dEspitau deu Faget dAubertii (Hôpital de la hêtraie dAubertin). Le premier document connu est la Charte Albertine de 1128, commentée par Marca. La première mention dun commandeur, et donc dune commanderie, apparaît dans un document de 1208 provenant du cartulaire de Sainte-Christine-du-Somport. L'hôpital-commanderie, étape des pélerins de Compostelle vers le col du Somport, était géré par les chanoines réguliers de Saint-Augustin.Létablissement a été perturbé pendant la Réforme, mais il est redevenu prospère lors de larrivée des Barnabites, vers 1642, jusquà la Révolution (1610 est la date à laquelle le Pape et le roi octroyèrent aux Barnabites lensemble des possessions de Ste-Christine, côté français. Cependant, ils narrivèrent à Lacommande que vers 1642). Le cloître fut détruit lors de la Réforme, mais, à la Révolution, rien ne fut détruit : léglise devint propriété de la commune, lancien cimetière fut maintenu, tandis que lhôpital était acheté par un particulier (Peyré dit Bergerou) qui le transforma en grange et chai.

History
The former commandery was founded by Gaston IV of Béarn, called the Crusader, under the name Espitau deu Faget dAubertii (Hospital of the beech grove of Aubertin). The first known document is the Albertine Charter of 1128, commented upon by Marca. The first mention of a commander, and therefore of a commandery, appears in a document of 1208 from the cartulary of Sainte-Christine-du-Somport. The hospital-commandery, a stage for pilgrims to Compostelle towards the Somport pass, was managed by the regular canons of Saint-Augustin. The establishment was disturbed during the Reformation, but it became prosperous again with the arrival of the Barnabites, around 1642, until the Revolution (1610 is the date on which the Pope and the king granted to the Barnabites all the possessions of Ste-Christine, on the French side. However, they did not arrive at Lacommande until around 1642). The cloister was destroyed during the Reformation, but, at the Revolution, nothing was destroyed: the church became property of the commune, the old cemetery was maintained, while the hospital was purchased by a private individual (Peyré called Bergerou) who transformed it into a barn and storeroom.
