"Escors" is related to other Occitan surnames from Aquitaine (Descors, Escars) and present-day Catalonia (Escorsell, Escorsa) that derived from "Cors-Cortis". The name "Cors" permanently incorporated the Occitan medieval demonstrative article "Es-" between the 10th and 12th centuries (Es-Cors/ Es-Corz).In: Nombres de Lugar de Sobrepuerto.

Bernard I d'Escors Bernard I d'Escors was an abbot of Saint Savin-en Lavedan's Abbey and the oldest documented member Saint-Savin-En-Lavedan (940-946), Bernard I d'Escors.Revue d'Aquitaine et du Languedoc, Volume 11. 1867. The University of MichiganRevue d'Aquitaine et des Pyrenees. By J. Noulens. 1867. University of OxfordRevue d'Aquitaine: journal historique de Guienne, Gascogne, Béarn, Navarre, etc, Volume 11. Published by Revue d'Aquitaine, 1867. Harvard University The Abbey of Saint Savin-en-Lavedan is a benedictine monastery built during Charlemange's conquests in the South of France, in the County of Bigorre (Duchy of Aquitaine). It is still present in Saint Savin-en-Lavedan after a major restoration that took place in 1855. It is unclear whether Bernard I d'Escors was the first Abbot from 940-944 AD as it appears in some documents, or even if he was a member of the clergy. In the Saint Savin-en Lavedan's Meillon and Duriers' cartulaires, he is not listed as the first Abbot, and they even raise doubts about his existence. However, it is known that Bernard was possibly associated to the Abbey from 945-957 AD through records of his various donations in favour of the Convent.Monographie de Saint-Savin de Lavendan. Gustave Bascle de Lagreze. 1850.
