Vermandois
Vermandois was a French county composed originally of the two chatellenies of St Quentin (Aisne) and Peronne (Somme). Herbert I, the earliest of its hereditary counts, was descended in direct male line from the emperor Charlemagne, and was killed in 902 by an assassin in the pay of Baldwin II, Count of Flanders.
