Comte de Forez. Auguste Bernard cites a charter dated to before 1061 under which Artaud, son of Gérard, confirmed a donation to the church of Aurec, approved by his (unnamed) wife. Pope Gregory VII excommunicated Comte Artaud at the council of Worms in 1076 for his attacks on the church of Lyon. "Vuillelmus comes Foresii" donated property to Savigny by charter dated [14 May 1078] which names "comes Artaldus pater eius". 1
