Counts of Vermandois

The Counts of Vermandois were noble rulers in the historical region of Vermandois, located in northern France. This title was held by several influential families during the Middle Ages, particularly the counts from the House of Vermandois linked to the Carolingian dynasty. They played a significant role in regional politics and feudal relationships, often involved in territorial disputes and alliances with the French crown. The title and its associated lands declined in prominence over the centuries, but they remain notable in the history of feudal France and the development of modern French nobility.
