Comments: Auvergne, which is about 200 miles southeast of Paris, was originally the home of the Averni, noblest of the Gallic tribes, whose greatest chief was Vercingetorix, subdued by Caesar in 52 B.C. Overrun by the Burgundians in the 5th century, the Auvergne was eventually incorporated into the Frankish Kingdom. After the death of Charlemagne it was for a time disputed between Lothringia and France, until firmly incorporated in the latter by Charles the Bold in 870. The province forms part of the Archdiocese of Bourges . The provincial economy is wholly agricultural, producing grains and pigs in great abundance.
