Carlat
Carlat was a viscounty on the southern slopes of the Cantal in Upper Auvergne, with its fortress at Carlat. In 1337 Renaud IV de Pons held it and owed homage to the abbot of Aurillac.
Renaud fought for France in 1345 and fell with his son at Poitiers in 1356. During the Wars of Religion Margaret of Valois was confined at Carlat for over a year; Henry IV ordered the castle demolished in 1603. In 1643 Louis XIII made Carladès a county for Honoré II of Monaco.
