 FETTY: Fetty History 1292, Fetty Blazon of Arms, Fetty Europe, Fetty America, Fetty Canada
The title of duke of Aquitaine, which had already been used by various little-known persons in the 7th century, was assumed at the end of the 9th by William I the Pious, count of Auvergne, the founder of the Abbey of Cluny.
Aquitaine, as it came to the English kings, stretched as of old from the Loire to the Pyrenees, but its extent was curtailed on the southeast by the wide lands of the counts of Toulouse.
The name Guyenne (or Guienne), a corruption of Aquitaine, seems to have come into use about the 10th century, and the subsequent history of Aquitaine is merged in that of Gascony and Guyenne, which were completely reunited to France by the end of the Hundred Years' War.

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 William VIII the Old.
Some authors have therefore named William VII and his descendants "counts of Clermont" (although this risks confusion with the county of Clermont in Beauvaisais and the episcopal county of Clermont in 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 of Viennois, Guigues IV.
