France Vermandois House

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The France-Vermandois house was a branch of the Capetians descended from Hugo of France , a younger son of the French king Henry I.

Hugo himself owned the Chaumont-en-Vexin estate and became Countess of Valois and Vermandois through his marriage to the Carolingian heiress Adelheid . A division among his sons led to two lines, Valois / Vermandois and Chaumont, of which the older already died out in the third generation, whereby King Philip II August 1214 came into the possession of both the Vermandois and the Valois.
