Chambre des Comptes of Navarre

The Chambres des Comptes de Navarre, alias Cour des Comptes de Navarre(English: Court of Auditors of Navarre), was formed in April 1624 during the reign of Louis XIII through the act of merging the Chambre des Comptes of Pau with the Chambre des Comptes of Nérac into one entity. In 1691, it was merged into the Parliament of Navarre and Béarn in Pau. The First President and the two Presidents, became Président à mortiers in the Parliament.

The Chambre des Comptes of Pau and the Chambre des Comptes of Nérac were created at the same time by Henry II of Navarre on 4 January 1527,

The Chambre des Comptes in Pau was given responsibility for Lower Navarre, Béarn, the County of Foix and Bigorre, the Viscounties of Marsan, Turson, Gavardon and the Barony of Captieux, the Viscounties of Lautrec and Nébouzan, the Barony of After-Villemure, and the four valleys of the Aure.

It was reconfirmed and authorized by his successor, Antoine of Navarre, on 11 September 1560, who made at the same time a number of laws to set out the powers of the officers, not only for the Chambre des Comptes in Pau, but also for those of Nérac and Vendôme.

Among these laws were those that determined the number of officers that each one had to have, namely one President, five Counselors/Auditors, a Registrar, a Huissier and a Patrimonial Prosecutor (a "Procureur Patrimonial"); the jurisdiction and knowledge were set forth for all matters concerning the types of income and expense accounting, and the circumstances and dependencies, all the same, and with the same authority and justice that had belonged to the King himself.
