House of Baffie

The first documented member of this dinasty is Dalmas, mentioned in a document dated to the second half of the 11th century.^[2] This Dalmas is considered the father of a second Dalmas^[3] and Guillaume de Baffie, Bishop of Clermont.^[4]

Dalmas II had two children: Auxilende, who married Agnon II of Meymont;^[5] and William.^[6]

William had only one son: Dalmas III.^[7]

Dalmas III had one son: William II.^[8]

William II supposedly lost his territories after the rebellion of Guy II of Auvergne and had to accept the suzeiranity of the bishop of Clermont.^[3] He married a daughter of Guigues III of Forez.^[9][10] His son, William III, later claimed the whole County of Forez by hereditary right through his mother. This led to conflict with Guigues IV of Forez and his son, Guigues V. However, William was defeated and renounced his claims.^[3][11]

William II also had (supposedly^[12]) two daughters: Beatrice, who married Agnon V of Meymont;^[13] Eleonore, who married Robert V of Auvergne.^[14]
