Biography
Almost nothing is known about him. At this time, there were several counts that had the name Bernard. And it is often difficult to determine to which particular Bernard this or that news relates.
The origin of Bernard is unknown. He could be the son of Guerin I , Count of Auvergne, or Guillaume I , Count of Auvergne. Around 846, the king of France, Charles II the Bald, appointed him Count of Auvergne. In 868, the county was transferred to Bernard Plantwell - most likely in connection with the death of Bernard I.
