Vermandois
Today, the Vermandois is the country whose it city-center is Saint-Quentin, city of the Département of Aisne in the area Picardy. It is compared to the Arrondissement of Saint-Quentin.
But, historical Vermandois was much vaster. The pagus Viromandensis of the Early middle ages corresponded to most of évêché of the same name, except a small sector around Noyon, called pagus noviomensis or Noyonnais. He was the heir to the civitas Viromanduorum , the territory of the Viromanduens.
The name of Vermandois is formed on that of the Viromandui or Veromandui , the Gallic people which occupied the area, by the addition of the suffix - ensis , “relative to” (at the origin of the French terminations in - ois).
During the Early middle ages, its capital was probably Vermand; starting from IXe century, it is Saint-Quentin, frequently called in the medieval texts, Saint-Quentin-in-Vermandois .
