Homage of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis

Clermont was also known as Clermont-en-Beauvaisis[2] or Clermont-de-l'Oise. The town is built on a hill surmounted by a 14th century keep. It is the relic of a fortress that was later used as a penitentiary for women. The church dates from the 14th to the 16th centuries. The hôtel-de-ville, built by King Charles IV, who was born in Clermont in 1294, is the oldest in the north of France.[2]

The town was probably founded during the time of the Norman invasions, and was an important military post, during the middle ages. The counts of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis first appeared in the early 11th century. King Philip II of France bought the county in 1218 and added it to the French crown. It was first granted as an appanage in 1218 to Philip Hurepel. With the extinction of his line, it was granted in 1268 to the House of Bourbon and was confiscated with the Duchy of Bourbon in 1527. It was repeatedly taken and retaken by the contending parties during the Hundred Years' War, and the Wars of Religion, In 1615, Henry II, prince of Condé, was besieged and captured there by the marshal d’Ancre.[2]
