List dolphins of Auvergne

See also: List of the counts d' Auvergne - List of the dukes of Auvergne

The territory known under the name of dauphine of Auvergne was, at the origin, which resulted from the partition of the county of Auvergne, in 1155, after the usurpation, towards 1147, from the rights of the count d' Auvergne Guillaume VII, known as Guillaume the Young person , by his uncle Guillaume VIII, known as Guillaume the Old man .

The young count managed to maintain his rights in part of his stronghold, formally always the county of Auvergne.

The compilation of the titles contained in the charters of the time by P. - france Baker in 1930 ( evolution of the word dolphin in Auvergne with the Middle Ages , library of the school of the charters) clearly revealed that Guillaume VII and his successors qualified initially counts d' Auvergne and of Clermont , then, as from 1281, counts de Clermont and dolphins of Auvergne (will of Robert II, Robertus comes Claromontensis and Alvernie Delphinus ). The successors of Robert II will name all dolphin of Auvergne .

The origin of the name of dolphin of Auvergne comes owing to the fact that the woman of Guillaume VII, Marquise of Albon (v. 1115-1196), was the girl of the count of the Viennese Guigues IV, of which the nickname, or the second first name, was Dauphin . The son of Guillaume and Marchise was also fore-mentioned Dauphin , in memory of his grandfather. Dolphin is a first name rare, but attested in the Middle Ages.

Justel, then Baluze, Chorier, and more recently Stronski, claimed, on the faith of an act of 1215 (concession in Chartreuse of Port-Co.-Marie by Dauphin and Guillaume, its son), that Dauphin was called actually Robert, and that dolphin was thus a title. This position, which is not by recovery by Anselme, was vigorously fought by Fournier (see more high), who challenges the validity of this act.

Of Bouchet, and Anselme after him, chose to establish a new classification for the descendants of Guillaume VII. Thus its Guillaume grandson, then Jean, of the list to only carry this first name, are not numbered, and that three Robert, then the three Béraud, who follow one another, respectively change numbers I to III. The chronology of the dolphins of Auvergne of blood stops with dead of Béraud III in 1426, his/her Jeanne daughter, countess of Clermont and dauphine of Auvergne, having brought the title to the house of Bourbon.

The conflict of denomination and classification opposes:

the classification of the counts, become dolphins, being prone to controversies , it seems that wisdom orders, taking into account the diversity from the points of view:

  • to adopt the classification of Anselme, which clearly differentiates the dolphins from the counts, in particular in the case of Robert I, II, III, IV vs Robert IV, V, VI, VII
  • to associate the denomination “Dolphin”, as soon as it is attested by the carrier of the first name, the nickname or the title of “dolphin of Auvergne”
  • and, to dissipate any possibility of confusion, to add the birth dates and of death, criterion of differentiation which allows an immediate identification, and hardly seems to be able to be disputed.
