The seigneury of Goudet is fundamental to the history of the Château de Saint Vidal. The very first written record concerning the lands of Saint Vidal is attributed to Adhémare de Goudet, sister of the Lord of Goudet, who, by her will, bequeaths his lands to her husband, Hugues de la Tour who will become in 1288 the first lord de la Tour de Saint Vidal.
