AUVERGNE, former French province including the present departments of Cantal, Puy-de-Dôme, and part of Haute-Loire. The presence of Jews in Auvergne is known from the end of the fifth century. In the second half of the 13th century they were settled in the localities of Auzon, Clermont, Ennezat, Langeac, Monton, Oilac, Peissin, Pont-du-Château, Puy-Roger, Ris, Rochefort, Taleine, Veyre, and Vichy. Banished together with the other Jews of France in 1306, they returned after 1359 to settle in Ennezat, Lignat, and Montaigut-en-Combraille until the expulsion of the Jews from the kingdom in 1394.

Bernard Plantevelue, a great lord of Aquitaine and a descendant of Saint Guilhem, took the title of Count of Auvergne shortly after his marriage in 868 to Ermengarde, daughter of Bernard the First of Auvergne. After his death in 886, his son William II the Pious, who became Duke of Aquitaine in 895, succeeded him until 918. The line died out with the deaths of his two nephews, William III the Younger in 926 and Acfred in 928. The Count of Toulouse, Raymond III, known as Pons, and then the Counts of Poitiers, distant descendants of William I, Count of Auvergne in 844, took over the title, very theoretically, William Tête d'Étoupe until 963 and William Fierbrace until 994. But they had long since given up all authority to the local lords, the Viscounts of Auvergne, of whom Armand is the first attested representative.
Armand (Arimandus) I, Viscount of Auvergne or Clermont 'under the counts Bernard, Guerin and William'*, attested in 895 and 898 under the suzerainty of William the Pious.
