Vermandois
Vermandois was a French county that appeared in the Merovingian period. Its name derives from that of an ancient tribe, the Viromandui. In the 10th century, it was organised around two castellan domains: St Quentin (Aisne) and Péronne (Somme). In today's times, the Vermandois county would fall in the Picardy region of northern France. Pepin I of Vermandois, the earliest of its hereditary counts, was descended in direct male line from the emperor Charlemagne. More famous was his grandson Herbert II (902–943), who considerably increased the territorial power of the house of Vermandois, and kept the lawful king of France, the unlucky Charles the Simple, prisoner for six years. Herbert II was son of Herbert I, lord of Péronne and St Quentin, who was killed in 902 by an assassin in the pay of Baldwin II, Count of Flanders. His successors, Albert I, Herbert III, Albert II, Otto and Herbert IV, were not as historically significant. In 1077, the last count of the first ...

Viromandui
The Viromanduī or Veromanduī (Gaulish: *''Uiromanduoi'') were a Belgic tribe dwelling in the modern Vermandois region (Picardy) during the Iron Age and Roman periods. During the Gallic Wars (58–50 BC), they belonged to the Belgic coalition of 57 BC against Caesar. Name They are mentioned as ''Viromanduos'' and ''Viromanduis'' (var. ''vero''-) by Caesar (mid-1st c. BC), ''Viromanduos'' by Livy (late 1st c. BC), ''Veromandui'' (var. ''uir''-) by Pliny (1st c. AD), ''(Ou̓i)romándues'' () by Ptolemy (2nd c. AD), and as ''Veromandi'' by Orosius (early 5th c. AD). The ethnonym ''Viromanduī'' is a latinized form of Gaulish *''Uiromanduoi'' (sing. ''Uiromanduos''), which literally means 'horse-men' or 'male ponies'. It derives from the stem *''uiro-'' ('man') attached to ''mandos'' ('pony'). It should perhaps be interpreted as the 'Centaurs' or as the ' envirile in owning ponies'. Pierre-Yves Lambert has also proposed the meaning 'those who trample upon men', by comparing th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
