520 _aThe war cry of "Guyenne!" can be found in documents from the early twelfth to the sixteenth century. While it originally simply served as a feudal rallying cry for the troops of the Dukes of Aquitaine, it turned into the symbol of the Gascon fighters' determination to maintain an autonomous Duchy of Aquitaine (or Guyenne) during the period of Anglo-Gascon union from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century. In the fourteenth century, wars waged alongside the English gradually led the Gascons, who were the king of England's subjects, to take over the war cry of "St Georges!" along with their own of "Guyenne!" but always after it. This shows that in their eyes asserting the existence of Guyenne came first. The consequences of this long-standing association could be felt during the rebellion against the gabelle (or salt tax) in 1548 when the Bordeaux rebels carried the St Georges flag while shouting "Guyenne! Guyenne!"
