Guy I (10th century) was viscount of Auvergne and the first count of Auvergne.
Life
He is first cited as Viscount of Auvergne around 980,[1] after the death of his brother, Bertrand, Viscount of Auvergne.[2]
He married a woman named Ausende.[1][2]
In various donations to the Abbey of Cluny he is defined as "Princeps Avernorum".[3] and supposedly "count".[2] Accordingly, his successors would style themselves count of Auvergne.
