Guy I (10th century) was viscount of Auvergne and the first count of Auvergne.

Life

He is first cited as Viscount of Auvergne around 980, [1] after the death of his brother, Bertrand, Viscount of Auvergne. [2]

He married a woman named Ausende. [1] [2]

In various donations to the Abbey of Cluny he is defined as "Princeps Avernorum". [3] and supposedly "count". [2] Accordingly, his successors would style themselves count of Auvergne.
