French branch: The French Vicomtes de Beaumont au Maine date from approximately 930 AD and contrary to many false assumptions never had, and do not have, any connection with the Norman Beaumonts descended from Roger de Beaumont. The French family take their name from the village of Beaumont-sur-Sarthe (formerly Beaumont le Vicomte) which is 30 km north of Le Mans. (Beaumont-le-Roger is about 125 km away, in the vicinity of Rouen). The French family came to England in the late 14th century (see Isabella de Vesci) and modern Beaumonts are descended from her brother Henry de Beaumont who was the first of the English barony and later Viscounts.
They are not a branch of the Norman family - rather they fought against the Normans on behalf of the French (see Hubert de Beaumont).
