Counts of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis
The county of Clermont -en- Beauvaisis was a northern French county in space Beauvais. Capital was Clermont -en- Beauvaisis. The Counts of Clermont -en- Beauvaisis should not be confused with the Count of Clermont in Auvergne ( here is the later Clermont-Ferrand meant ), a title which the dauphin of Auvergne wore at times.
After the beginning of the 11th century the county Beauvais had come to the Counts of Blois, stepped Count Odo II of Blois in 1015 the Bishop of Beauvais and the title of the city from Beauvais, and was formed in 1023 from the rest of the County of Clermont -en- Beauvaisis for his son Baldwin ( Baudouin ), the husband of Adelaide of Champagne.
1191 was the county by inheritance again to the Counts of Blois, which they sold in 1218 to the king. From then on the county Clermont served as Paragium within the royal family until it was confiscated in 1524 together with the other estates of the Constable Charles de Bourbon- Montpensier.
After the extinction of the main line of the family existed from the 13th century only side lines who preserved the name of Clermont and added it to the description of their most important possessions.
From the family of the Counts of Clermont -en- Beauvaisis originate in the 13th and 14th centuries, two Connétables ( Rudolf I ( Raoul I. ) and Dreux IV de Mello, the grandson of Rudolf's aunt ) and three marshals of France.
