Charles Bémont (November 16, 1848 – 1939), French scholar, was born at Paris.
In 1884 he graduated with two theses, one on Simon de Montfort translated as Simon de Montfort: Earl of Leicester, 1208-1265 (1930), without the thesis' appendices of historical documents, and La Condamnation de Jean Sansterre (Revue historique, 1886). His Les Chartes des libertés anglaises (1892) has an introduction upon the history of Magna Carta, etc., and his history of medieval Europe, written in collaboration with Gabriel Monod (1896), was translated into English, as Medieval Europe from 395 to 1270.
He was also responsible for the continuation of the Gascon Rolls, the publication of which had been begun by Francisque Michel in 1885 (supplement to vol. 5, 1896; vol. ii., for the years 1273-1290, 1500; vol. iii., for the years 1290-1307, 1906). He received the honorary degree of Litt. Doc. at Oxford in 1909. He was made a member of the British Academy in 1914.
A street at Croissy-sur-Seine commemorates him.
