History
Clermont-Dessous was once a stronghold in Agenais to which the village of Fortic was later attached. The place was besieged in vain in 1221 by Amaury de Monfort, and was taken by routiers in 1457. [3]
In the middle years of the nineteenth century, fairs were held on 7 March, 19 October and 13 December. [3]
