Counts and dukes of Aumale

The County of Aumale, later elevated to a duchy, was a medieval fief in Normandy, disputed between France and England during parts of the Hundred Years' War.

According to Chisholm, the fief of Aumale was granted by the archbishop of Rouen to Odo, brother-in-law of William the Conqueror, who erected it into a countship.

As of 2019[update], the titleholder is a grandson of the late Henri, Count of Paris, Orléans heir, and his wife, Princess Isabelle of Orléans-Braganza of Brazil.

The kings of England continued to claim the Duchy of Normandy, and to recognize the old line of Counts or Earls of Aumale.

In further creations in the English peerage after the Hundred Years' War, Aumale was spelled in the Latinised form Albemarle.
