Acfred possessed very little land in Auvergne, most of it having been transformed into allods of the leading men long before. Based on surviving charters, he did not control the Lyonnais or the Velay, though he held some property in the latter.[3] His other property was scattered throughout the Auvergne and Gévaudan.[4] He did, however, possess a few comital castles.[5] When Acfred drew up a will in 927, he granted away all that remained of the comital fisc to his retainers.[6]
