Following the failure of the attempt to recapture Carcassonne by Raimond II, Viscount Trencaval in 1240, the Cité de Carcassonne was considerably reinforced by the French king, new master of the territory. He destroyed small castra in the Corbières region and built citadels to protect the frontier with the kingdom of Aragon. These five castles are often called the cinq fils de Carcassonne (five sons of Carcassonne): * Château d'Aguilar * Château de Peyrepertuse * Château de Puilaurens * Château de Quéribus * Château de Termes
