County of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis
The county of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis was a northern French county in the Beauvais area . The main town was Clermont-en-Beauvaisis . The Counts of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis should not be confused with the Counts of Clermont in Auvergne (this is what later became Clermont-Ferrand ), a title that the Dauphins of Auvergne held at times.
After the county of Beauvais had passed to the Counts of Blois at the beginning of the 11th century , Count Odo II of Blois surrendered the title and the city of Beauvais to the Bishop of Beauvais in 1015 , and in 1023 formed the county of Clermont-en- from the remainder. Beauvaisis for his son-in-law Balduin (Baudouin), the husband of Adelheid von Champagne .
In 1191 the county was inherited again by the Counts of Blois, who sold it to the king in 1218. From then on, the county of Clermont served as a paragium within the royal family until it was confiscated in 1524 together with the other goods of the Connétable Charles de Bourbon-Montpensier .
After the main line of the family died out, only side lines existed from the 13th century, which kept the name Clermont and added the name of their most important property.
From the family of the Counts of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, two connétables ( Rudolf I (Raoul I) and Dreux IV. De Mello , the grandson of an aunt of Rudolf) and three marshals of France come from the 13th and 14th centuries .

- 1317–1327: Ludwig I (* 1279 † 1341), Duke of Bourbon, Count of La Marche .
In 1327, Louis of Bourbon exchanged Clermont with King Charles IV for La Marche. It seems, however, that his successors owned the fief until 1527, as it served as a paragium for the eldest son of the respective Duke of Bourbon.
