1144 CE to 1155 CE
The Baussenque Wars (from French Guerres Baussenques, meaning "wars of Baux") are a series of armed conflicts (1144–1162) between the House of Barcelona, at this time ruling in Provence, and the House of Baux.
In Provence, the conflict is viewed as an idealistic resistance of one of her native families against the Catalan "occupation."
The Catalonian perspective regards the Baussenque Wars as the first of many successful expansions of Catalan power and influence in the Mediterranean world.
