Population
History The abbey of Saint-Martin-Lys appears in the texts in 898 when the monk Leuva gave the monastery a vineyard located in Cailla. She then receives many donations throughout the Viscount Fenouillèdes. Pope Agapet II confirmed his possessions in 954. The monks then cultivate vineyards, olive trees and cereals. The monastery has a tine or cellars where are brought to Brugens crops in the region, today in the municipality of Caudies Fenouilledes."Inventory Rocque, Archbishop of Narbonne"
