Perspective
In 1328 Robert (holder of the viguerie), 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.

Summarize
Perspective
The viscounty of Uzès became a duchy by letters patent of Charles IX issued at Mont-de-Marsan in May 1565. The dukes were included in the peerage of France from 1572, and if the Kingdom of France existed today, they would rank immediately after the Princes of the Blood.[1]
