Dauphins of Auvergne

What is by convenience called the Dauphinate of Auvergne was in reality the remnant of the County of Auvergne after the usurpation of Count William VII the Young around 1155 by his uncle Count William VIII the Old. The young count was able to maintain his status in part of his county, especially Beaumont,

, and Montferrand. Some authors have therefore named William VII and his descendants counts of Clermont, although this risks confusion with the County of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis and the episcopal County of Clermont in Auvergne. The majority of authors, however, anticipating the formalization of the dauphinate in 1302, choose to call William VII and his successors the dauphins of Auvergne. Still others, out of convenience, choose to call these successors the counts-dauphins of Auvergne. The title of Dauphin of Auvergne was derived from William VII's mother, who was the daughter of the dauphin de Viennois, Guigues IV. This meant that William VII's male descendants were usually given Dauphin as a surname. The numbering of the counts-turned-Dauphins is complicated. Some authors create a new numbering starting with the first dauphins even though the dauphinate did not really begin until 1302. Others choose to reestablish, beginning with William the Young, the numbering of the viscounts of Clermont who became counts of Auvergne, particularly for the dauphins named Robert. The parallel existence of the usurpers of the County of Auvergne and of the counts-dauphins, who often carried the same first names, also complicates things. To avoid confusion, the numbering system used here is continuous, and Dauphin is used as part of the name where applicable.
