 The emperor crossed the Pyrenees and "settled matters" in Pamplona (according to the "Vita Hludovici").This could imply that the Gascony of Seguin's day was trans-Pyrenean, i.e., comprised lands on both sides of the mountains.A count of Bordeaux (ruler of the "Burdegalian country", or "pagus Burdegalensis") appointed by Charlemagne in 778 had the same name, Seguin, and may have been the same person.
