Viscounts of Uzès (''Vicomte d'Uzès'')

In 1328 Robert, obtained the title of Viscount of Uzès from the King of France, due to his services. His descendants, heirs to the title, henceforth paid homage to the King of France and no longer to the Bishop of Uzès. The title then passed, by marriage, to the Guérin family, then to that of Crussol.
