About this sheet

Antique map titled 'Vermandois'. Old map of the Vermandois region, France. Vermandois was a French County that appeared in the Merovingian period. Its name derives from that of an ancient tribe, the Viromandui. In the 10th century, it was organised around two castellan domains: St Quentin (Aisne) and Péronne (Somme). In today's times, the Vermandois County would fall in the Picardy region of northern France. This map shows the cities of S. Quintin, Channi, Noyon, Perone, Lafere and others. Published by J. Janssonius, circa 1640.
