The electors of the Kingdom of Auvernia are members of the electoral college of Auvernia, having the privilege of electing the King of Auvernia since the 15th century. The Council was formed out of the settlement reached after the Sibling Wars by electing Louis of Hendaye as King of Auvernia.
Overview
The Kingdom of Auvernia is in theory an elective monarchy. But from the eighteenth century onwards, the electors formalized what became a de facto hereditary monarchy with the House of Martenot and the House of Luçatta-Martenot, with the eldest son of the monarch typically becoming King, with few exceptions.
From the 15th century, seven noble lords were selected to be electors of the kingdom, the Duke of Berengnac, the Duke of the Vexin, the Duke of Delvoir, the Duke of Arres, the Count of Montpezat, the Count of Fezensac, and the Lord of Calais. In the eighteenth century, two new lords were added, the Count of Foix, and the Count of Isenbury.
