Aumale
Aumale was a French county on the River Bresle, on the border of Normandy and Picardy. In 1337 its count was John II of the Castilian line, which had inherited the county after it passed through the House of Dammartin.
John II died in 1343. During the Hundred Years’ War, English kings repeatedly granted the title of Aumale to their own magnates. The French county later passed to the houses of Harcourt and Lorraine; in 1547 it was raised to a duchy for Francis of Lorraine.
