The territories of the counts of Savoy lay within the southern part of the Welf kingdom of Burgundy and, later, in north-west Italy. The development of the kingdom of Burgundy, and the rise of the nobility within its territory, is discussed in the Introduction to the BURGUNDY KINGDOM group of documents. The county of Savoy (Saboia, pagus Savogiensis) was situated in the north-east part of the diocese of Grenoble, although no specific reference has been found in primary sources to counts in this area before the 11th century. The family of the counts of Savoy first acquired power in the central part of the Burgundian kingdom during the latter part of the reign of King Rudolf III, when the Comtes de Genève and the Comtes d'Albon were also emerging as local power forces in the area.

Humbert [I] Comte de Maurienne served Emperor Konrad II, after the emperor inherited the kingdom of Burgundy following the death in 1032 of King Rudolf III, and was rewarded with the grant of Chablais and Saint-Maurice en Valley. Humbert collected various dispersed territories in the area south of Lake Geneva, especially in the ecclesiastical dioceses of Belley, Aosta, Maurienne and Tarentasia. Comte Humbert's landholdings were gradually expanded by his descendants and united under a single government. The most important step in this process was the marriage of Humbert's son Odon to Adelaida, heiress of the marquisate of Susa, whose territories extended between the Alps and the River Po (including Auriate, Turin, Ivrea and Aosta) and as far as the Mediterranean coast between Ventimiglia and Albenga, and also included control of the Alpine passes of Mont-Cenis and Saint-Bernard[1]. The Savoy family's fortunes were favoured by the marriage in 1066 of Odon's daughter Berthe to Heinrich IV King of Germany. The family lost control of much of the territories of the marquisate after the death in 1091 of Marchesa Adelaida. The counts of Savoy retained only the valley of Susa itself, although they continued to title themselves "Marchesi of Italy" in primary sources during the following centuries. After the loss of these Italian possessions, Comte Humbert II turned his attention westwards by strengthening relations with the Capetian kingdom of France, his daughter eventually marrying Louis VI King of France. Humbert II´s son Comte Amedée III recovered the county of Turin, although his own son Comte Humbert III was banished and his lands confiscated after he quarelled with Emperor Friedrich I "Barbarossa". A settlement between the county of Savoy and the emperor was brokered by Guglielmo V Marchese di Monferrato, who acted as regent for the minor Comte Thomas I after the death of Humbert III. Comte Thomas further expanded the family's territories northwards into Vaud in present-day Switzerland and eastwards to Piemonte in northern Italy. He also bought the town of Chambéry in Savoie. He appears to have been the first member of the family to use the title "Comte de Savoie".

Emperor Friedrich II appointed Comte Amedée IV as Imperial Vicar in northern Italy, and also created him Duke of Chablais and Aosta, although this title lapsed after Amedée IV died in 1253. The family of the counts of Savoy extended their influence to England following the marriage in 1236 of Eléonore de Provence (whose mother was the daughter of Thomas I Comte de Savoie) to Henry III King of England. The English king's inability to control his wife's foreign relations was a factor which contributed to conflicts with his barons, which ultimately led to civil war. Comte Pierre II increased the Savoy family's territories by acquiring land in western Switzerland, mainly at the expense of the Comtes de Genève. Comte Amedée V, older surviving son of Comte Thomas II, was chosen to succeed his father, in place of the infant son of his deceased older brother. To pacify family ambitions, he divided the family´s landholdings, installed his nephew in Turin and Pinerolo, and his younger brother Louis in Vaud, although Thomas II retained overall suzerainty over these territories. Vaud was reunited with the main line of the counts of Savoy in 1359, and Piemonte in 1418. Faucigny was transferred to Savoy in 1355 under the terms of the Treaty of Paris agreed with Jean II King of France, which also confirmed the frontier between Savoy and Dauphiné. Comte Amedée VII acquired Nice in 1388, and Comte Amedée VIII was confirmed as comte de Genève in 1410. Comte Amedée VIII was created duke of Savoy by Sigmund King of Germany in 1417.

Research into the family of the counts of Savoy is complicated by the loss of original primary source documentation in the 12th, 13th and 14th centuries. The Germans burnt the archives of the castles of Susa, Avellana and Turin at different times, including an episode in 1174 when Emperor Friedrich I "Barbarossa" burnt all the title deeds of the house of Savoy[2]. In 1536, the Bernese destroyed documentation when they invaded Vaud, Chablais and Faucigny[3]. Other material was lost in various accidental fires at the castle of Chambéry[4]. Nevertheless, some interesting new details concerning the family have been incorporated into this document from information which is available in the on-line inventory of the State Archives of Turin[5]. Unfortunately, since compiling the earlier version of the present document, the State Archives of Turin have changed their website. The new website no longer includes the reference numbers for citing particular documents which are included in the footnotes below[6]. It is suggested that anyone wishing to check entries should search the new website using the words in the extracts which I quote (“Ricerca” in the top right corner of the webpage cited below). It has also come to light that some of the entries in the index of the Archives are inaccurate. As always, it is recommended that the original documents should be consulted in cases of doubt.

Chapter 1. COMTES de SAVOIE [1060]-1417

A. COMTES de MAURIENNE, COMTES de CHABLAIS

The origins of Humbert [I] "blancis manibus" Comte de Maurienne, first known ancestor of the counts of Savoy, are unproven. Alternative theories have been proposed:

· Manteyer suggests that he was descended from Garnier Comte de Troyes (see the document CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY), whose son Hugues may have received part of the county of Vienne, and whose own son Humbert has been postulated (probably incorrectly) as the father of comte Humbert [I][7].

· Previté-Orton prefers the theory of descent from the local family headed by Amedée Comte [de Belley] (see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM NOBILITY), who was living in [977][8]. A link between these two groups of families is suggested by the various donations of property in the county of Belley made by Humbert [I] and his descendants.

· descent from the first kings of Provence. This proposition is based only on a manuscript note written by d´Hozier in 1675, in a copy of Guichenon´s Histoire généalogique de la maison de Savoie later deposited at the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris, which states that "les chartes qui établissent la descendance de la Maison de Savoie des rois de Provence sont dans les Cartulaires de Saint-Maurice à Vienne"[9]. Presumably such alleged descent would be through Charles Constantin Comte de Vienne, son of Louis King [of Provence], about whose two sons nothing is known apart from their names (see the document PROVENCE). No reference to such charters is found in the commentary on the cartulary of Vienne Saint-Maurice published by Ulysse Chevalier, or in the handful of charters themselves which he reproduced[10]. It must be assumed that, if such documentation ever existed, it has since disappeared.

· son of "Béraud". The book of anniversaries of the church of Aosta includes an entry dated 1040 the dating clause of which notes "regnante et principante in Valle nostra Augustæ Salassorum Umberto P. Maurianensi filio illustris Beroldi de Saxonia"[11]. This is the origin favoured by Guichenon after reviewing numerous alternative theories. In addition to "tradition" in the family, he bases his conclusion on an anachronistic heraldic argument and a supposed common connection with St Maurice. He identifies Béraud with "Berthold" who is named in two charters of Rudolf III King of Burgundy dated 1016 and 1018 (see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM NOBILITY). Guichenon also launches into highly speculative conjecture about the precise origin of Béraud in the families of Widukind and Emperor Otto I (set out in the document SAXONY DUKES) which is not worth summarising[12]. Assuming that the Aosta entry is factually correct (it is assumed that it is not contemporary), the reference to "Saxonia" may represent an imperfect transcription. It is not therefore impossible that Humbert was the son of a local "comte Béraud" who is otherwise unrecorded.

It is also possible that Humbert [I] was related to Ermengarde, second wife of Rudolf III King of Burgundy, who appointed him as her representative in administrative dealings relating to her territorial holdings after her husband died. If this is correct, the family relationship cannot be traced as Queen Ermengarde´s parentage is not known, although the fact that Humbert [I]´s possible sister was also named Ermengarde (see BURGUNDY KINGDOM NOBILITY) may also indicate a family connection.

HUMBERT, son of --- ([970/75]-1 Jul [1047/51], bur Saint-Jean de Maurienne). ["Umberto comitis et uxoris suæ" signed the charter dated 4 Apr 1003 under which Eudes Bishop of Belley granted land "in pago Gratiopolitano in agro Salmojacense"[13]. It is not certain whether this charter relates to Humbert [I] "blancis manibus" Comte de Maurienne or to his supposed maternal uncle Humbert Comte [de Belley].] "Rodolfus rex" jointly with "…comitibus Rodulpho et Uberto" gave the castle of Moras to "Umberto episcopo eiusque matri domine Freburgie et nepotibus eius, Wigonis bone memorie filiis, Umberto Wigoni Willelmo" by charter dated 6 Jun 1009[14]. "Domni Umberti comes, Lambertus comes…" witnessed the charter dated 1 Apr 1018 under which "Ratcherius" confirmed a donation to "Sancti Petri Romani monasterio"[15]. Lanter Bishop of Langres granted property "in comitatu Genevensi et pago Albonensi in villa…Casei", except for that part held by "Ermengardis regina", to "nostro amico Humberto comiti et duobus heredibus filiis eius…unus…Amedeus et alter Burchardus episcopus" for life, by charter dated 8 Apr 1022[16]. "Ermengardis, domini Rodulphi regis coniux" founded the monastery of Talloires "in pago Albanense in villa…Talueris", with the advice of "…comitis Umberti", by charter dated to [1025], signed by "Umberti comitis…"[17]. "Donnus Ubertus comes" exchanged property with "Dominum Brocardum Episcopum Augustensis" by charter dated 16 Nov [1026][18]. "Ermengart regina" donated "duos mansos in pago Genevense" to Cluny, for the soul of her late husband Rudolf III King of Burgundy, acting "per advocatum meum comitum Humbertum", by charter dated to [1033/48][19]. It is assumed that this document refers to Comte Humbert, although this is not beyond all doubt. Saint-Genis (who assumes that the co-identity is correct) suggests that the use of the term "advocatum" in this document indicates that Humbert was administrator of royal lands only and was not a direct fiefholder himself[20]. If this is correct, the title "comes" would have been honorary, linked to his royal appointment rather than territorial holdings. At first sight the hypothesis of Saint-Genis appears attractive because, if Humbert held no county, his parentage may have been obscure, which could account for the difficulties in tracing his origin. However, there appears no reason why Humbert could not have held comital jurisdiction over a specific territory at the same time as an appointment as "advocatus" of the queen in relation to her own property. In any case, all the earlier documents quoted here confirm that Humbert held full comital status, although none of them specify his geographical jurisdiction (which is not unusual for early 11th century charters). His appointment by Queen Ermengarde as her representative may indicate a family relationship between the two, which cannot now be traced as the queen´s parentage is not known. "Amedeus filius Uberti comitis et Adaelgida uxor mea" donated "ecclesia S. Mauricii…in pago…Maltacena" to the priory of Bourget by charter dated 22 Oct 1030, signed by "Uberti comitis, Anciliæ uxoris eius, Amedei comitis, Adilæ uxoris eius…Rodulphi regis, reginæ Ermengardis, Odonis, Antelmi"[21]. Humbert recognised the suzerainty of Emperor Konrad II, to whom King Rudolf III bequeathed the kingdom of Burgundy in 1032, and fought against Eudes II Comte de Blois who challenged the emperor´s succession[22]. The emperor invested Humbert with Chablais and Saint-Maurice en Valley in 1034 as a reward for his services[23]. From this time, he is taken to have become HUMBERT I "blancis manibus/of the White Hands" Comte de Maurienne, Comte de Chablais. His nickname appeared for the first time in the 14th century Chronicle of Hautecombe[24]. According to Szabolcs de Vajay, the popular version is a misreading of "blancis moenibus/of the White fortresses"[25]. Saint-Genis suggests that the nickname should be considered the equivalent of "clean hands", indicating Humbert´s honesty in administrative dealings[26]. "Domnum Humbertum comitem et filium eius Amadeum" are named as present in the charter dated 1037 which records the foundation of the priory of Bugey[27]. "Hubertus comes" donated property to the canons of Saint-Jean and Saint-Urse by charter dated 1040, signed and consented to by "Oddo, Amedeus comes, Aymo Sedunensis episcopus, Brochardus filius Huberti comitis, Petrus marchio filius Odonis marchionis et commitissæ"[28]. "Domnus Upertus comes" is named in a charter relating to a church "in loco Scalas quod antiquitus vocatur Lavastrone" dated 21 Jan 1042, signed by "Brochardi archiepiscopi, Aimoni episcopi, Ameei, Oddoni, Orlini et filiorum eius Wigoni, Anselmi, Rostagni, Bornoni…Rostagni"[29]. "Umbertus comes et filii mei Amedeus et Oddo" donated the church "in pago qui antiquitus vocatur Lavastrone…Scalas in episcopati Gratianopolitano" to the abbey of Saint-Chaffre by charter dated 10 Jun 1042, signed by "Brochardi archiepiscopi, Amedei comitis, Oddonis, Bornonis, Aureliani, Rostagni"[30]. "Humbertus comes et Theobaldus episcopus Maurianensis" donated property to the canons of Saint-Jean by charter dated 14 Jun 1046, signed by "Aimonis nepotis eius, Ioannis, Berillonis, Odonis"[31]. "Domni Huberti comitis…" subscribed the charter of "Aymo" (his presumed grandson) dated [1046][32].

m ([995/1000]) AUXILIA, daughter of ANSELM & his wife Aldiud ---. "Amedeus filius Uberti comitis et Adaelgida uxor mea" donated "ecclesia S. Mauricii…in pago…Maltacena" to the priory of Bourget by charter dated 22 Oct 1030, signed by "Uberti comitis, Anciliæ uxoris eius, Amedei comitis, Adilæ uxoris eius…Rodulphi regis, reginæ Ermengardis, Odonis, Antelmi"[33]. The parentage of Auxilia is deduced from her son Burchard being described by Rodolfus Glaber as nepos of Burchard Archbishop of Lyon[34], who was the illegitimate son of Conrad I King of Burgundy and his mistress Aldiud. Aldiud was the wife of Anselm, this couple presumably being Auxilia´s parents. Her parentage is also suggested by the charter dated 12 Jun 1052 under which her son "Aimo, Sedun…episcopus" donated property, inherited from "avunculo meo comite Oudolrico…in villam…Ursaria", to the church of Sion "per manum advocatis mei comitis Oudalrici"[35]. Szabolcs de Vajay suggests that Count Humbert had two wives: firstly "---, sister of Graf Ulrich [von Lenzburg]" and secondly "Auxilia, relative of Saint Odilon de Mercœur abbé de Cluny"[36]. Europäische Stammtafeln shows only one wife "Auxilia von Lenzburg"[37], in an amalgam of these two proposed wives. None of the sources so far consulted in the preparation of the present document suggest that Humbert had two wives. Until more information comes to light, the simpler solution has been adopted in this document. The primary source which indicates Auxilia's relationship with the Mercœur family (see the document AUVERGNE) has not yet been identified.

Comte Humbert & his wife had four children:

1. AMEDEE ([995/1000] or after-after 18 Dec 1051). Lanter Bishop of Langres granted property "in comitatu Genevensi et pago Albonensi in villa…Casei", except for that part held by "Ermengardis regina", to "nostro amico Humberto comiti et duobus heredibus filiis eius…unus…Amedeus et alter Burchardus episcopus" for life, by charter dated 8 Apr 1022[38]. "Amedeus filius Uberti comitis et Adaelgida uxor mea" donated "ecclesia S. Mauricii…in pago…Maltacena" to the priory of Bourget by charter dated 22 Oct 1030, signed by "Uberti comitis, Anciliæ uxoris eius, Amedei comitis, Adilæ uxoris eius…Rodulphi regis, reginæ Ermengardis, Odonis, Antelmi"[39]. "Domnum Humbertum comitem et filium eius Amadeum" are named as present in the charter dated 1037 which records the foundation of the priory of Bugey[40]. "Amedeus comes et uxor mea Adela" donated "hereditate nostra in comitatu Bellicensi in villa Carnitus" to Cluny by undated charter[41]. "Hubertus comes" donated property to the canons of Saint-Jean and Saint-Urse by charter dated 1040, signed and consented to by "Oddo, Amedeus comes, Aymo Sedunensis episcopus, Brochardus filius Huberti comitis, Petrus marchio filius Odonis marchionis et commitissæ"[42]. "Amedeus comes et uxor mea Adela" donated property "in comitatu Belicensi in villa Larnitus" to Cluny by charter dated 1036[43]. "Domni Amedei comitis…" subscribed the charter of his presumed nephew dated [1046][44]. He succeeded his father in [1047/51] as AMEDEE I "la Queue" Comte de Maurienne et de Chablais. His nickname was acquired after he refused to enter the presence of Emperor Heinrich III at Verona after his retinue ("queue") was refused entry[45]. "Amedeus comes Belicensium" donated property "mansum Cavanerii" to the church of Belley by charter dated to [1031/60][46]. m ([1030]) ADELAIS, daughter of ---. "Amedeus filius Uberti comitis et Adaelgida uxor mea" donated "ecclesia S. Mauricii…in pago…Maltacena" to the priory of Bourget by charter dated 22 Oct 1030, signed by "Uberti comitis, Anciliæ uxoris eius, Amedei comitis, Adilæ uxoris eius…Rodulphi regis, reginæ Ermengardis, Odonis, Antelmi"[47]. "Amedeus comes et uxor mea Adela" donated "hereditate nostra in comitatu Bellicensi in villa Carnitus" to Cluny by undated charter[48]. Comte Amedée I & his wife had [two] children:

a) HUMBERT (-before 1051). His parentage is confirmed by the undated charter under which "Comes Amedeus et Adela uxor eius" donated property to the monastery of Saint-Maurice, for the repose of "Uberti filii"[49].

b) [AYMON (-[1050]). "Aymo Bellicensis episcopus" refers to property "ecclesiæ S. Ioannis Baptistæ" held by "pater noster Amedeus", by undated charter[50]. Carutti suggests that Aymon Bishop of Belley was the son of Amedée Comte [de Belley], recorded in the last quarter of the 10th century (see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM NOBILITY-BRESSE & BUGEY)[51]. Bishop of Belley [1032]. A manuscript note attached to an undated charter, under which "Amedeus…comes et fratres mei, unacum genitrice nostra Gisla" donated property to the church of Belley "per nostros advocatos…comitem Aimonem Genevensem et Widonem de Mirabello", for the soul of "patris nostri Humberti comitis", states that "Hic Amadeus comes erat Belicensis pater Aimonis episcopi…"[52]. This note is incorrect as the donor under this charter was Amedée III Comte de Maurienne who lived about a century after Comte Amedée I. It is not known whether this is the only authority for asserting that Aymon Bishop of Belley was the son of Amedée I. If that is the case, the "proof" is shaky at best.]

2. BURCHARD ([995/1000] or after-after 10 Jul 1068). Lanter Bishop of Langres granted property "in comitatu Genevensi et pago Albonensi in villa…Casei", except for that part held by "Ermengardis regina", to "nostro amico Humberto comiti et duobus heredibus filiis eius…unus…Amedeus et alter Burchardus episcopus" for life, by charter dated 8 Apr 1022[53]. Bishop of Aosta . "Brocardu epm" [Bishop of Aosta] approved a donation by "Katelmus" by charter dated 19 Oct 1025, signed by "domni Umbertus comes"[54]. Rodolfus Glaber names "Burcardi nepos eiusdem equivocus", referring to Burchard Archbishop of Lyon who was an illegitimate son of Conrad I King of Burgundy by his mistress Aldiud wife of Anselm, when recording that the second Burchard "deserted his own see of Aosta in order rashly to seize Lyon"[55]. Coadjutor of Aosta. Provost of Saint-Maurice d'Agaune. Archbishop of Lyon 1030, deposed. Radulfus Glaber records that “Burcardi nepos, eiusdem æquivocus” left “sede propria Augustanæ civitatis” and imposed himself as archbishop of Lyon after the death of archbishop Burchard in 1033, and that "Burchardus III Archiep. Lugd. olim August. Episc." was captured by imperial troops and sent into exile in 1034[56]. "Hubertus comes" donated property to the canons of Saint-Jean and Saint-Urse by charter dated 1040, signed and consented to by "Oddo, Amedeus comes, Aymo Sedunensis episcopus, Brochardus filius Huberti comitis, Petrus marchio filius Odonis marchionis et commitissæ"[57]. "Burchardus Agannensis abbatiæ abbas…" donated property by charter dated 10 Jul 1068[58].

3. AYMON (-13 Jul [1054]). "Hubertus comes" donated property to the canons of Saint-Jean and Saint-Urse by charter dated 1040, signed and consented to by "Oddo, Amedeus comes, Aymo Sedunensis episcopus, Brochardus filius Huberti comitis, Petrus marchio filius Odonis marchionis et commitissæ"[59]. Benedictine abbot of Saint-Maurice d'Agaune. Bishop of Sion 1040. "Aymonis episcopi" enfeoffed a vassal with property "per manum Odvolrici eiusdem ecclesie aduocati" by charter dated 23 Dec 1043[60]. "Domni Aimoni Sedunensis episcopi…" subscribed the charter of his presumed first cousin dated [1046][61]. "Aimo, Sedun…episcopus" donated property, inherited from "avunculo meo comite Oudolrico…in villam…Ursaria", to the church of Sion "per manum advocatis mei comitis Oudalrici" by charter dated 12 Jun 1052[62]. "Aymo…Sedunensis episcopus" exchanged property "in comitatu Valensi in loco…Caldro" [Chatres] with his vassal "Vuarnerio", by the hand of "advocati eiusdem ecclesie Upoldi", by charter dated 13 Mar 1054[63]. The necrology of Sion records the death "III Id Jul" of "Aymonis episcopi"[64].

4. ODDON ([1017]-1 Mar 1060, bur Torino, cathedral of San Giovanni). "Hubertus comes" donated property to the canons of Saint-Jean and Saint-Urse by charter dated 1040, signed and consented to by "Oddo, Amedeus comes, Aymo Sedunensis episcopus, Brochardus filius Huberti comitis, Petrus marchio filius Odonis marchionis et commitissæ"[65]. Marchese di Susa [1046], by right of his wife. Comte de Chablais.

B. COMTES de SAVOIE et de MAURIENNE 1060-1417

ODDON de Maurienne, son of HUMBERT Comte de Maurienne & his wife Auxilia --- ([1017]-1 Mar 1060, bur Turin, cathedral of San Giovanni). "Hubertus comes" donated property to the canons of Saint-Jean and Saint-Urse by charter dated 1040, signed and consented to by "Oddo, Amedeus comes, Aymo Sedunensis episcopus, Brochardus filius Huberti comitis, Petrus marchio filius Odonis marchionis et commitissæ"[66]. Marchese di Susa [1046], by right of his wife, her territories extending between the Alps and the River Po (including Auriate, Turino, Ivrea and Aosta) and to the Mediterranean between Ventimiglia and Albenga, and including control of the Alpine passes of Mont-Cenis and Saint-Bernard[67]. "Odo marchio" subscribed the charter of his presumed nephew dated [1046][68]. He succeeded his brother in [1051] as ODDON Comte de Maurienne et de Chablais. "Odo marchio" donated property to the church of Tarantasia, for the soul of "patris mei Humbertus comes", by charter dated 1051[69]. "Oddo et uxor mea Adalaicis…et filii mei Petrus Admedeus et filie mee" donated churches to Oulx by charter dated May 1057[70]. The importance of the family's role in contemporary European politics is demonstrated by the marriage of Comte Oddon's daughter to the future king of Germany. The necrology of San Andreo di Torino records the death "XIV Kal Feb" of "Dnis Oddonis Marchionis"[71].

m ([1046]) as her third husband, ADELAIDA di Susa, Marchesa di Susa, widow firstly of HERMANN IV Duke of Swabia and secondly of ENRICO Marchese di Monferrato, daughter of MANFREDO UDALRICO Marchese di Susa & his wife Berta degli Obertenghi (Turin 1020-Canischio in Canavese 27 Dec 1091, bur Turin, cathedral of San Giovanni). Her first marriage is confirmed by Herimannus who records that "Hermannus quoque dux Alamanniæ" was granted "marcham soceri sui Maginfredi in Italia" by the emperor in 1034[72]. Her second marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 1043 under which "Henricus marchio filius quondam Wilielmi similiter marchioni et Adalena comitissa jugales filia quondam bo. me. Oldrici…Maginfredi…marchioni" donated property to San Antonino[73]. Her third marriage is confirmed by the Annalista Saxo which names "Adelheidis que soror erat comitis qui agnominatus est de Monte Bardonis in Italia et Immule seu Irmingardis" as wife of "Ottonis marchionis de Italia"[74]. "Oddo et uxor mea Adalaicis…et filii mei Petrus Admedeus et filie mee" donated churches to Oulx by charter dated May 1057[75]. She was regent for her son in 1060 after the death of her husband, playing a significant role in support of Heinrich IV King of Germany, her son-in-law, in his disputes with the papacy. "Dominus Petrus Marchio filius quond. bonæ memoriæ Oddonis marchionis…cum domina Adheleida comitissa matre sua" signed a charter dated 31 Jul 1064[76]. "Adelegida…comitissa" donated property to Pinerolo, for the souls of "domni Manfredi marchionis genitoris mei et Adalrici episcopi Barbani mei et Bertæ genetricis meæ et…domni Odonis marchionis viri mei", by charter dated 8 Sep 1064, signed by "Petri, Amedei, Vitelmi qui Bruno vicecomes vocatur…Henrici qui vocatur Marchio…"[77]. "Adalaxia cometissa filia quondam Maginfredus marchio" donated property to Pinerolo by charter dated 23 Jul 1075[78]. Adelaida mediated with Pope Gregory VII when King Heinrich submitted to him at Canossa in 1077, and received in return the town of Bugey for the house of Savoy[79]. "Domna Adelaida comitissa filia…cum filiis suis Petro et Amedeo" donated property to Novalesa, for the soul of "mariti sui Oddonis", by charter dated 16 Jul 1078[80]. "Adalegida cometissa filia Maginfredi marchionis et relicta quond. Oddonis idemque marchionis" donated property to the monastery at Taurini, in the presence of "domne Agnetis comitissæ, filiæ Wilelmi comitis et relictæ quondam Petri marchionis", for the souls of "Maginfredi patris, Adalrici Astensis episcopi patrui, Berthæ matris et Petri marchionis filii predictæ comitissæ Adalegidæ", by charter dated 4 Jul 1079[81]. "Adalasia comitissa cum nuru sua Agneta et filia eius Agnete" donated property to "ecclesiæ S. Mariæ…Astensis episcopatus" by charter dated 18 Jun 1089[82]. The necrology of Schaffhausen records the death "XIV Kal Jan" of "Adelheida Taurinensis comitissa"[83].

Comte Oddon & his wife had five children:

1. PIERRE de Savoie ([1047/49]-killed 9 Aug 1078). "Hubertus comes" donated property to the canons of Saint-Jean and Saint-Urse by charter dated 1040, signed and consented to by "Oddo, Amedeus comes, Aymo Sedunensis episcopus, Brochardus filius Huberti comitis, Petrus marchio filius Odonis marchionis et commitissæ"[84]. "Oddo et uxor mea Adalaicis…et filii mei Petrus Admedeus et filie mee" donated churches to Oulx by charter dated May 1057[85]. He succeeded his father in 1060 as PIERRE I Comte de Savoie, Aosta, Maurienne et Chablais, Marchese di Susa, under the regency of his mother until 1064. "Dominus Petrus Marchio filius quond. bonæ memoriæ Oddonis marchionis…cum domina Adheleida comitissa matre sua" signed a charter dated 31 Jul 1064[86]. "Adelegida…comitissa" donated property to Pinerolo, for the souls of "domni Manfredi marchionis genitoris mei et Adalrici episcopi Barbani mei et Bertæ genetricis meæ et…domni Odonis marchionis viri mei", by charter dated 8 Sep 1064, signed by "Petri, Amedei, Vitelmi qui Bruno vicecomes vocatur…Henrici qui vocatur Marchio…"[87]. "Domna Adelaida comitissa filia…cum filiis suis Petro et Amedeo" donated property to Novalesa, for the soul of "mariti sui Oddonis", by charter dated 16 Jul 1078[88]. He appears to have come to a violent end[89]. m (1064) AGNES d’Aquitaine, daughter of GUILLAUME VII "Acerrimus/l'Aigret" Duke of Aquitaine, [GUILLAUME V Comte de Poitou] & his wife Ermésinde --- ([1052]-after 18 Jun 1089). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 26 Oct 1078 under which "Agnes filia quondam Guillelmi Pictaviensis comitis et relicta…marchionis Petri" donated property to Pinerolo[90]. Agnes´s father is not identified more precisely in any document which has so far been identified. However, the reference to "quondam" in the 26 Oct 1078 charter excludes Guillaume VIII Duke of Aquitaine who was still alive at that date. Duke Guillaume VI, who died in 1038, is also probably excluded, as Agnes would have been over 26 years old at the time of her marriage if she had been his daughter, which seems improbable as noble girls often married when aged 12 to 15 at the time. Duke Guillaume VII is therefore left as the most likely candidate to be Agnes´s father. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[91], Agnes was the widow of Ramiro I King of Aragon. Szabolcs de Vajay states that the wife of King Ramiro was the daughter of Guillaume VI Duke of Aquitaine not of Duke Guillaume VII, although no source is cited to support this[92]. From an onomastic point of view, it is surprising that a daughter of Duke Guillaume VI would have been named Agnes. The name appears only in the family of the Comtes de Poitou after the third marriage of Duke Guillaume V with Agnes de Mâcon [Bourgogne-Comté], whereas Duke Guillaume VI was the son of Duke Guillaume V's first marriage. "Adalegida cometissa filia Maginfredi marchionis et relicta quond. Oddonis idemque marchionis" donated property to the monastery at Taurini, in the presence of "domne Agnetis comitissæ, filiæ Wilelmi comitis et relictæ quondam Petri marchionis", for the souls of "Maginfredi patris, Adalrici Astensis episcopi patrui, Berthæ matris et Petri marchionis filii predictæ comitissæ Adalegidæ", by charter dated 4 Jul 1079[93]. "Adalasia comitissa cum nuru sua Agneta et filia eius Agnete" donated property to "ecclesiæ S. Mariæ…Astensis episcopatus" by charter dated 18 Jun 1089[94]. Comte Pierre I & his wife had [three] children:

a) AGNES de Savoie ([1066/70]-after 13 Mar 1110). "Adalasia comitissa cum nuru sua Agneta et filia eius Agnete" donated property to "ecclesiæ S. Mariæ…Astensis episcopatus" by charter dated 18 Jun 1089[95]. Her birth date is estimated from the marriage date of her parents, her mother's estimated birth date, and the fact that Agnes herself gave birth to three children before her husband died in 1091. "Agnes filia Petri marchionis et relicta olim Friderici" donated property to the monastery of Cavorre by charter dated 1091[96]. She became a nun after her husband died. She was still alive in 1100[97]. Pope Pascal II confirmed a donation to the monastery of Fruttuaria San Benedetto by "Agnete comitissa, Petri marchionis filia" by charter dated 13 Mar 1110[98]. m (Turin May 1080) FRIEDRICH Graf, Herr von Lützelburg, son of LOUIS de Mousson châtelain de Montbéliard & his wife Sophie of Upper Lotharingia heiress of Bar (-29 Jun 1091, bur [Canossa]). He was a powerful lord in Swabia who supported Rudolf von Rheinfelden as anti-king of Germany. He arrived in Italy and was installed in [1079/May 1080] as Marchese di Susa by his [future] wife's paternal grandmother[99], the installation presumably taking place after the death in Jan 1080 of his wife's uncle Amedée II Comte de Savoie who had succeeded his older brother as Marchese di Susa in 1078.

b) [ALIX de Savoie (-after 21 Dec 1099). "Bonifacius marchio filius Teutonis…marchio…cum Alice cometissa filia qd. d. Petri marchio atque Theotone, Petro, Magnifredo, Hugone et Willielmo filiis eorum" donated property to "monasterio sancti Petri…in…villa Saviliani" by charter dated 21 Dec 1099[100]. Szabolcs de Vajay dismisses this individual as an imaginary person designed to explain the claims of Marchese Bonifazio to Turin, which he in fact inherited through his mother who was the younger sister of Adelaida di Susa, mother of Comte Pierre[101]. It is uncertain whether he was aware of the charter quoted above when he made this suggestion. Even if the charter in question was spurious, it is unclear what purpose would have been served by fabricating the ancestry of Marchese Bonifazio´s wife. It should be noted that Bonifazio´s [second] wife Agnes de Vermandois was considerably younger than her husband. An earlier marriage would therefore be likely. m as his first wife, BONIFACIO di Saluzzo Marchese del Vasto, son of ODDONE Marchese di Liguria Occidentale & his wife Berta di Susa (-after 1127).]

c) [BERTHE ([1075]-before 1111). Szabolcs de Vajay[102] suggests that Berta, second wife of Pedro I King of Aragon, was the daughter of Comte Pierre, although there appears to be no direct proof that this is correct. He further suggests that, when Emperor Heinrich IV captured Tuscany in 1092, Berthe could have taken refuge at her mother's court at Poitiers from where her marriage was arranged, her future husband's first wife having been her mother's first cousin. Zurita who, while in relation to Queen Berta stating that “no se escrive cuya hija fuesse”, comments that “en las historias de Castilla...el Rey Don Alonso que ganó a Toledo tuvo...una [muger] llamada Berta que era natural de Toscana” [third wife of Alfonso VI King of Castile, see the document CASTILE KINGS for the primary sources on which this statement is based], that “el Emperador Henrico avia casado con Berta hija de Otho Marques de Italia”, and that “parece verisimil que esta Reyna Berta sucediesse de aquella casa de los Marqueses de Italia”[103]. Berta is named in charters in Aragon from 16 Aug 1097 to 1105[104]. “Berta...regina” donated “tres campos...et uno orto” in Huesca to “don Bruno mea magistro” by charter dated Jul [1101][105]. Ubieto Arteta points out that “Bruno” was “[un] nombre completamente desconocido en la omomástica aragonesa del siglo XI e importado indudablemente de Italia o de Francia” and suggesting that this could suggest an Italian origin for Queen Berta, although recognising that “el argumento...apenas tiene fuerza, pues se da el nombre de Bruno en el Midi y en las poblaciones de francos”[106]. Szabolcs de Vajay identifies the grantee Bruno as the son of Friedrich Graf, Herr von Lützelburg (see the document BAR) and his wife Agnes de Savoie (who was recorded as the daughter of Pierre Comte de Savoie and therefore would have been the sister of Queen Berta if her Savoy affiliation was correct)[107]. This may appear unlikely considering that the son of Graf Friedrich cannot have been born much earlier than [1086] and therefore would have been no more than 10 years old at the most at the time of King Pedro's marriage in 1097. Pedro I King of Aragon donated “villa...Buniales” to “abbate don Galindo”, at the request of “uxoris mee Berta regina”, by charter dated Jan 1103[108]. “Berta regina” granted “in Sangarren...kasas que fuerunt domni Hormat Ibn Motert Ibn Alabe” to “Enneco Banzones” by charter dated 1105, the dating clause of which records “cognatum meum rege domni Antefonso, me sub gratia domnum meum rege domno Petro...et cum amore...cognatum meum in Auguero et in Moriello, in Arrigolis et in Merquerlo, in Aiierve et in Sangarren et in Kalgen” [Agüero, Murillo, Riglos, Marcuello, Ayerbe, Sangarren and Callén][109]. “Berta regina” donated “almunia...inter Berbegal et Monte Rog” to the monastery of Alaon by charter dated to [1105], the dating clause of which records “Antefonso cognato meo in Pampilona et in Aragona, in Superarvi et in Ripacurcia, me autem regnante in Murello et in Auvero et in Aierb...”[110]. Ubieto Arteta refers to the areas named in these two charters as governed by Queen Berta as “el ‘reino’ que llamamos de los Mallos”, adding that “la existencia del pequeño Estado...fué efimera” and that “antes de 1111...estaba a punto de desaparecer” (he does not cite the primary source on which he bases this date)[111]. Szabolcs de Vajay assumes that it disappeared when the queen died[112]. Although the area is called “reino” and “Estado” by Ubieto Arteta, there appears no reason to suppose from the wording of these two charters that the territory was anything other than a señorío granted by King Pedro as dower for his wife, and that it was governed in the same way as any other señorío in the kingdom of Aragon. Berta would have continued to bear the title queen after her husband´s death, and the phrase “me autem regnante” in the second document should not be interpreted other than as the normal way in which administration of a territory by a queen could be described without implying that the area had become a “kingdom”. m (Huesca 16 Aug 1097) as his second wife, PEDRO I King of Aragon and Navarre, son of SANCHO I Ramírez King of Aragon and Navarre & his first wife Isabel de Urgel ([1066/18 Aug 1068]-Valle de Aran 27 Sep 1104, bur Monastery of San Juan de la Peña).]

2. AMEDEE de Savoie ([1048/50]-26 Jan 1080, bur Saint-Jean de Maurienne). "Oddo et uxor mea Adalaicis…et filii mei Petrus Admedeus et filie mee" donated churches to Oulx by charter dated May 1057[113]. "Adelegida…comitissa" donated property to Pinerolo, for the souls of "domni Manfredi marchionis genitoris mei et Adalrici episcopi Barbani mei et Bertæ genetricis meæ et…domni Odonis marchionis viri mei", by charter dated 8 Sep 1064, signed by "Petri, Amedei, Vitelmi qui Bruno vicecomes vocatur…Henrici qui vocatur Marchio…"[114]. His parentage is confirmed by the Annals of Lambert which record that Heinrich IV King of Germany was in "Cinis" [Mont-Cénis] in Italy at Christmas 1077 to meet "socrum suam filiumque eius Amedeum"[115], the latter being the king's brother-in-law. "Domna Adelaida comitissa filia…cum filiis suis Petro et Amedeo" donated property to Novalesa, for the soul of "mariti sui Oddonis", by charter dated 16 Jul 1078[116]. He succeeded his brother in 1078 as AMEDEE II Comte de Savoie, Marchese di Susa. The necrology of Torino San Andreo records the death "VII Kal Feb" of "comes Amedeus de Sabaudia"[117]. m ([1065/70]) JEANNE, daughter of --- (-[1095]). The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified. Guichenon names her as the wife of Comte Amedée II referring to various secondary sources[118]. Her origin is not known. Guichenon, referring to "Henninges" (no precise citation), suggests "avec…assurance et…probabilité" that she was Jeanne de Genève, daughter of Gerold Comte de Genève & his first wife Gisela ---[119]. From his discussion, it does not appear that this speculation is based on any surviving primary source and it is not known how accurate it might be. Comte Amedée II & his wife had [five] children:

a) ADELAIDE de Savoie ([1068/72]-before 1115). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1090 under which "Adelais comitissa filia quondam bonæ memoriæ comitis et marchionis Amedei" confirmed the donations by "Manasses dominus de Coloniaco quondam maritus meus" to Nantua, for the soul of "patris sui Manassis", signed by "Humbertus et Manasses filii mei"[120]. Her birth date is estimated from her sons being named in 1090, and bearing in mind her father's estimated birth date. m MANASSES [II] Seigneur de Coligny, son of MANASSES [I] & his wife --- (-after 1086).

b) [AUXILIA (-[6 Sep] after 1094). The wife of Humbert [II] Seigneur de Beaujeu is named in three charters: "Auxilia uxor domni Humberti" donated property to Notre-Dame de Beaujeu by undated charter, dated in the compilation to [1090][121]. "Umberti, Auxilie uxoris sue" subscribed the charter dated 1090 which records the donation to Notre-Dame de Beaujeu by "Stephanus"[122]. "Domnus Humbertus et uxor sua…Auxilia et infantes eorum Guicchardus et Humbertus et Guigo et Ugo" confirmed the donation to Notre-Dame de Beaujeu by Herbert de Senecé by charter dated 1094[123]. The necrology of Notre-Dame de Beaujeu records "Humberti et Auxilie uxoris domini Bellijoci" on "VII Id Sep"[124], but it is not clear which death is commemorated. She is named in Europäische Stammtafeln[125] as the daughter of Comte Amedée, but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified. Presumably this supposition is based on the undated charter, dated in the compilation to [1080/90], under which "Humbertus Beljocensis", who was married to "filiam Amedei comitis Savoiensis", donated property "Carruptum…[et] Capolerium" to Notre-Dame de Beaujeu[126]. Guichenon suggests that there is confusion between Auxilia and Alix de Savoie, wife of Humbert [III] Seigneur de Beaujeu (see below)[127]. The basis for dating the charter in question to [1080/90] has not been ascertained and, assuming that this does not depend on dating the church dignitaries who are named in the document ("Petri, Guiscardi et Stephani supradictæ ecclesie"), the confusion appears possible. m ([1080]) as his second wife, HUMBERT [II] Seigneur de Beaujeu, son of GUICHARD [II] Seigneur de Beaujeu & his wife Richoara [de Salornay] (-[1102/03]).]

c) HUMBERT de Savoie ([1072]- Moûtiers 19 Oct 1103, bur Moûtiers). "Umbertus comes, filius quondam Amedei" donated property to the monastery at Pinerolo by charter dated 29 Nov 1098[128]. He succeeded his father in 1080 as HUMBERT II "le Renforcé" Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie, under the regency of his paternal grandmother.

- see below.

d) [ODDON . He is named in Europäische Stammtafeln[129] as the son of Comte Amedée but the primary source on which this is based has not been identified. He is not named as such by Guichenon[130].]

e) [daughter . The wife of Ulrich [I] de Bâgé was daughter of Amedée I Comte de Maurienne according to Europäische Stammtafeln[131]. This seems difficult to support chronologically, in light of the known dates of death of two of the sons of Ulric de Bâgé (1180 and 1184 respectively) which suggest that they were born after 1100. If her father was a Count of Savoy, it is more likely that he was Amedée II. m ULRIC [I] de Bâgé et de Bresse, son of JOSSERAN [Gaulseran] Seigneur de Bâgé et de Bresse & his wife --- (before 1074-after 1125).]

3. BERTHE de Savoie (21 Sep 1051-Mainz 27 Dec 1087, bur Speyer Cathedral). The Annalista Saxo names "Bertam filiam Ottonis marchionis de Italia et Adelheidis que soror erat comitis qui agnominatus est de Monte Bardonis in Italia et Immule seu Irmingardis" as wife of King Heinrich[132]. Her husband proposed to repudiate her in 1069, but withdrew his demand[133]. The dispute was finally settled in 1077 when Empress Bertha's mother intervened to prevent any repudiation in return for mediating between the emperor and Pope Gregory VII in Canossa[134]. The Annales Sancti Diibodi record the death in 1087 of "Bertha imperatrix" and her burial "apud Moguntiam"[135]. The necrology of Regensburg St Emmeran records the death "VI Kal Jan" of "Berhta imperatrix"[136]. The necrology of Speyer records the death "VI Kal Jan" of "Bertha imperatrix"[137]. m (betrothed Zurich 25 Dec 1055, Tribur[138] 13 Jul 1066) as his first wife, HEINRICH IV King of Germany, son of Emperor HEINRICH III & his second wife Agnès de Poitou ([Goslar] 11 Nov 1050-Liège 7 Aug 1106, bur Speyer Cathedral). He was crowned Emperor at Rome 31 Mar 1084.

4. ADELAIDE ([1052/53]-[Schloß Twiel] early 1079, bur St Blasius). The Annales of Berthold, which record the death in 1079 of "uxor…regis Roudolfi…Adelheit, filia Adelheidæ marchionissæ, soror Berhtæ reginæ uxoris Heinrici", confirm that Adelaide was the daughter of Adelaida di Susa[139]. Adelaide's daughter Adelheid is named with "progenitoribus Rodolfo…rege et Adelheida…regina matertera Heinrici quarti inperatoris" in a charter dated [1079/10 Oct 1086][140]. It is assumed that she was the daughter of her mother's third marriage but this is not certain. Europäische Stammtafeln[141] shows Adelaide's birth date as "after 1052", presumably based on the likelihood that she was born after her sister Berthe, as Heinrich IV King of Germany would presumably have married the older daughter. Concerning her marriage date, it is likely that the marriage took place after the marriage of her sister, assuming that Oddon was her father. She is named "Adalheid coniux Ruodulfi ducis" in the Annales Weissemburgenses, which record that she was accused of being unchaste, was repudiated by her husband two years later, but that Pope Alexander arranged a reconciliation, dated to [1069/71][142]. A continuation of the Annales of St Gallen records that “uxor Rudolphi ducis” was accused of adultery with “Werinhario commite suo cognato”[143]. The Annales of Berthold record that "rex…Roudolfus…uxor" was "in partes Burgundiæ a Turego divertens", suffering "iniurias" in "quodam castello suo"[144]. The wife of "Rudolfus rex de Arle" is named "Adelheidis" in a list of founders of the monastery of St Peter in Schwarzwald[145]. The Annales Sancti Blasii record the death in 1079 of "Adelheit uxor Roudolfi regis" and her burial "apud Sanctum Blasium"[146]. The Annales of Berthold record the death in 1079 of "uxor…regis Roudolfi…Adelheit, filia Adelheidæ marchionissæ, soror Berhtæ reginæ uxoris Heinrici" and her burial "ad monasterium Sancti Blasii"[147]. [m firstly (divorced) as his first wife, GUIGUES [IV] "Pinguis" Comte d'Albon, son of GUIGUES [III] "Vetus" [d'Albon] & his wife Adelais --- ([1025/30]-[1075]). According to Europäische Stammtafeln[148], Adelaide married firstly Guigues Comte d'Albon. Another table in Europäische Stammtafeln shows the first wife of Guigues Comte d'Albon as "Adelais (von Turin)" and their son Guigues II Comte d'Albon as co-heir of Adelaida Marchese di Susa in 1091[149]. The basis for this alleged first marriage has not been found, but it is unlikely to be correct considering the estimated birth date of Adelaide.] m ([1061/62]) as his second wife, RUDOLF von Rheinfelden Duke of Swabia, son of KUNO Graf & his wife --- (before 1027-killed in battle near Hohenmölsen, Merseburg [15/16] Oct 1080, bur Merseburg Cathedral). He was elected King of Germany in 1077.

5. ODDON de Savoie (-[Jul 1095/1099]). He is named by Guichenon as the son of Comte Oddon and his wife, stating that the parentage is confirmed in "plusieurs titres" although he cites none of these recognisably[150]. None of these primary sources has so far been identified. He was not named in his parents´ charter dated May 1057 under which "Oddo et uxor mea Adalaicis…et filii mei Petrus Admedeus et filie mee" donated churches to Oulx[151], indicating that he was considered too young at the time to be mentioned and suggesting that he was his parents´ youngest child. Bishop of Asti 1073/1079. His last documentary mention is 28 Mar 1095, but his bishopric is still referred to in Jul 1095[152].

HUMBERT de Savoie, son of AMEDEE II Comte de Savoie & his wife Jeanne [de Genève] ([1072]-Moûtiers 19 Oct 1103, bur Moûtiers). "Umbertus comes, filius quondam Amedei" donated property to the monastery at Pinerolo by charter dated 29 Nov 1098[153]. He succeeded his father in 1080 as HUMBERT II "le Renforcé" Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie, under the regency of his paternal grandmother. On her death in 1091, Humbert lost much of her territories, retaining only the valley of Susa[154]. He was the first of his family to strengthen relations with France, diverting his attention from Italy after the loss of most of the family's Italian possessions. "Ubertus filii qda Amedo" donated property to Santa Maria d´Ivrea by charter dated 14 Sep 1094[155]. "Nantelmus" confirmed the foundation of the priory of Bellevaux en Bauges ["Bellævalles…supra villam Boggarum"], with the support of "Humberto comite", by charter dated to the end-11th century[156]. "Humbertus comes et marchio" donated property to the abbey of Aulps ["in pago Gebennensi in valle…Alpis"], with the consent of "Girardo Alingiensi et Gilione de Rovorea quorum feudem est", by charter dated to [1094], witnessed by "Girardus Alingiensis, Rodulphus de Fulciniaco, Uldricus comes, Anselmus, Willelmus, Amedeus filius eiusdem Girardi"[157]. "Humbertus comes et Girardus de Alingio et Gislo miles a quibus est ille locus" consented to the agreement between the abbey of Molesme and the abbey of Aulps, recorded in a charter dated 1097[158]. "Umbertus comes filius quondam Amedei" donated property to Pinerolo by charter dated 29 Nov 1098[159]. The necrology of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne records the death "XIV Kal Nov" of "Humbertus comes Maur."[160].

m ([1090]) as her first husband, GISELE de Bourgogne, daughter of GUILLAUME I Comte Palatin de Bourgogne, Comte de Vienne et de Mâcon & his wife Etiennette --- ([1075]-after 1133). Her parentage is deduced from Suger stating that her daughter Adelaide, wife of Louis VI "le Gros" King of France, was the niece of Pope Calixtus II[161]. This is corroborated by "Guido Viennensis archiepiscopus" (later Pope Calixtus II) addressing a letter to "nepoti suo Amedeo comiti" (Amedée III Comte de Savoie, son of Gisèle by her first marriage) dated [1115][162]. Her date of birth is estimated from her having given birth to five children by her second husband whom she married in [1105], and assuming that she was no more than 17 years old when she gave birth to her first child by her first husband. "Amedeus comes" donated property to Saint-Jean de Maurienne, for the soul of "patris sui Uberti comtis", with the consent of "Gisla matre et fratribus eius Guillelmo atque Umberto", by charter dated 21 Oct 1104[163]. She married secondly ([1105]) Ranieri Marchese di Monferrato. Her second marriage is confirmed by Orderic Vitalis who records the marriage of Guillaume de Normandie and the daughter of Raniero III Marchese di Monferrato, naming both the bride's parents and specifying that the marriage was arranged by the bride's uterine half-sister, Adélaïde de Maurienne Queen of France[164].

Comte Humbert II & his wife had [seven] children:

1. ADELAIDE de Maurienne ([1092]-Montmartre 18 Nov 1154, bur Montmartre, église abbatiale de Saint-Pierre). Her first marriage is recorded by Orderic Vitalis, who also names her father and her four oldest sons[165]. The De Genere Comitum Flandrensium, Notæ Parisienses records "filiam Humberti comitis Morienne" as wife of "Ludovicum regem Grossum"[166]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "regina Alaydis…soror Amadei comitis Sabaudie" as wife of "Ludovici Grossi"[167]. She exercised considerable influence over her husband, playing an active part in the downfall of Etienne de Garlande, Chancellor of France. After the accession of her son as King Louis VII in 1137, Adelaide conspired against Suger, Abbé de Saint-Denis, triggering a quarrel with her son who exiled her and her second husband to her lands in Compiègne. Her second marriage is confirmed by an undated charter which records a donation to the priory of Saint-Nicolas d´Acy, near Senlis made in the presence of "dominæ Adelæ reginæ et domini Mathei mariti eius"[168]. In 1153, she retired to the church of the Abbaye de Saint-Pierre at Montmartre, which she had founded[169]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "XIV Kal Dec" of "Adelaidis regina"[170]. m firstly (Paris [25/30] Mar 1115) LOUIS VI "le Gros" King of France, son of PHILIPPE I King of France & his first wife Bertha of Holland (Paris end 1081-Château Bethizy, near Paris 1 Aug 1137, bur église de l'Abbaye royale de Saint-Denis). m secondly ([1138]) as his second wife, MATHIEU [I] Seigneur de Montmorency, son of BOUCHARD [III] Seigneur de Montmorency & his first wife Agnès de Beaumont Dame de Conflans (-[2 Aug/31 Dec] 1160).

2. AMEDEE de Maurienne ([1095]-Nicosia 30 Aug 1148). "Amedeus comes" donated property to Saint-Jean de Maurienne, for the soul of "patris sui Uberti comtis", with the consent of "Gisla matre et fratribus eius Guillelmo atque Umberto", by charter dated 21 Oct 1104, witnessed by "Odo de Camera et frater eius Amedeus, Esmio de Camera et frater eius Bernardus, Aymo de Bocsosello, Guillelmus de Rossilione"[171]. He succeeded in 1109 as AMEDEE III Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie.

- see below.

3. GUILLAUME de Maurienne (-[1130/31]). "Amedeus comes" donated property to Saint-Jean de Maurienne, for the soul of "patris sui Uberti comtis", with the consent of "Gisla matre et fratribus eius Guillelmo atque Umberto", by charter dated 21 Oct 1104[172].

4. HUMBERT de Maurienne (-1131). "Amedeus comes" donated property to Saint-Jean de Maurienne, for the soul of "patris sui Uberti comtis", with the consent of "Gisla matre et fratribus eius Guillelmo atque Umberto", by charter dated 21 Oct 1104[173].

5. GUY de Maurienne. He is named as the son of Comte Humbert II and his wife by Guichenon[174]. The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Abbé de Namur. Canon of Saint-Lambert, Liège.

6. RENAUD de Maurienne (-after 1150). "Dominus Amedeus comes et marchio et frater eius Raynaldus" granted rights to the archbishop of Tarantasia, with the consent of "Aymone vicecomite, fratribus suis Gunterio, Willienco, Aymerico", by charter dated to [1140][175]. Prior of the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Maurice, Aosta.

7. [AGNES (-after 1180). A notice dated [25 Jan] [1137/39] or 1140 concerning the foundation of the leprosery of La Madeleine near Souvigny refers to a donation of land by "domni Archinbaudi Borbonensis et Agnetis comitissæ" sold property to the prior of Montet by charter dated to [22 Sep 1095/early Jan 1097][176]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[177], the wife of Archambaud [VII] was the daughter of Comte Humbert II. The primary source which confirms that this is correct has not yet been identified but no indication has been found to indicate that it is incorrect. However, it is surprising that Archambaud VII (who was a bachelor, and probably in his mid-thirties, at the time of his marriage) would have married a spinster in her late thirties (Agnes must have been born before 1104 if she was the daughter of Comte Humbert). The reference in the charter referred to above to "Agnetis comitissæ" indicates that Agnes was of higher rank by birth than her husband. m (before 25 Jan 1140) ARCHAMBAUD [VII] Seigneur de Bourbon, son of AYMON [II] "Vaire-Vache" Seigneur de Bourbon & his wife Lucie de Nevers (-1171).]

AMEDEE de Maurienne, son of HUMBERT II "le Renforcé" Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie & his wife Gisèle de Bourgogne [Comté] (Montmélian [1095]-Nicosia 30 Aug 1148). "Amedeus comes" donated property to Saint-Jean de Maurienne, for the soul of "patris sui Uberti comtis", with the consent of "Gisla matre et fratribus eius Guillelmo atque Umberto", by charter dated 21 Oct 1104, witnessed by "Odo de Camera et frater eius Amedeus, Esmio de Camera et frater eius Bernardus, Aymo de Bocsosello, Guillelmus de Rossilione"[178]. "Amedeus…comes et fratres mei, unacum genitrice nostra Gisla" donated property to the church of Belley, for the soul of "patris nostri Humberti comitis", by undated charter[179]. He succeeded in 1109 as AMEDEE III Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie. "Amedeus…comes et fratres mei, unacum genitrice nostra Gisla" donated property to the church of Belley "per nostros advocatos…comitem Aimonem Genevensem et Widonem de Mirabello", for the soul of "patris nostri Humberti comitis", by undated charter[180]. The emperor recognised his title as Count of the Holy Roman Empire in 1111. Comte Amedée arranged the marriage of his sister to Louis VI King of France, consolidating the close relations established by his father with France. Lay-abbot of Saint-Maurice d'Agaune, until 1116. "Guido Viennensis archiepiscopus" (who was his maternal uncle) addressed a letter to "nepoti suo Amedeo comiti" dated [1115][181]. "Amedeus filius quondam Humberti comitis" confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Santa Maria di Pinerolo by charter dated 1 Mar 1131, witnessed by "Humbertus de Buzosel et Aymo frater eius, Villelmus de Camera…"[182]. He recovered the county of Turin, lost by his father. "Comes Amedeus…cum uxore sua Adeleida comitissa" confirmed the rights of the monastery of "S. Justi in villa Volveria" by charter dated 27 Jul 1134, witnessed by "Umbertus de Bocsosello, Aimo de Brianzone…"[183]. "A. comes et marchio cum uxore sua M." donated property to the monastery of Ripalta, with the support of "eorum filio Umberto", by charter dated 9 Jan 1137[184]. "Palatinus Comes Amedeus" donated property to the monastery of Locedio "in terra Willelmi Marchionis fratris sui" [his uterine brother] by charter dated 30 Jul 1137[185]. "Amedeus comes et marchio" donated revenue from Conflens to the archbishop of Tarantasia by charter dated 28 Feb 1139[186]. "Dominus Amedeus comes et marchio et frater eius Raynaldus" granted rights to the archbishop of Tarantasia, with the consent of "Aymone vicecomite, fratribus suis Gunterio, Willienco, Aymerico", by charter dated to [1140][187]. The first known use of the white cross on a red background as the arms of the House of Savoy was in a charter dated 1143[188]. "Amedeus comes et marchio et Maies comitissa uxor eius et Umbertus eorum filius" donated property to the monastery of Saint-Maurice by charter dated 30 Mar 1143[189]. "Amedeus comes et marchio" confirmed donations to Saint-Sulpice en Bugey, for the soul of "filii mei Humberti", by charter dated to [1148], which also names "uxore mea Matildi", confirmed by "Aalasia comitissa de Bello Joco…cum filio meo Guichardo"[190]. "Amedeus comes et marchio et Majes comitissa uxor eius et Umbertus eorum filius" confirmed the rights of the monastery of Saint-Maurice d´Agaune by charter dated 30 Mar 1148[191]. He accompanied his nephew Louis VII King of France on crusade but died in Cyprus. The Continuator of Sigebert records that "Amadeus comes Maurianensis" died "in Cipro insula" in 1148[192].

m firstly ([1120/23]) ADELAIDE, daughter of --- (-after Jul 1134). "Comes Amedeus…cum uxore sua Adeleida comitissa" confirmed the rights of the monastery of "S. Justi in villa Volveria" by charter dated 27 Jul 1134, witnessed by "Umbertus de Bocsosello, Aimo de Brianzone…"[193]. Europäische Stammtafeln shows the single marriage of Comte Amedée III, to Mathilde d'Albon, in 1123[194]. Given the likely birth dates of Alix de Savoie, oldest daughter of Comte Amedée, and of Mathilde d'Albon (see below), it is unlikely that Mathilde was the mother of Alix. A first marriage of Comte Amedée is therefore highly probable. Palluel shows Comte Amedée III's first wife as Gertrude de Lorraine, daughter of Simon I Duke of Lorraine[195]. This can be dismissed as incorrect. Neither Europäische Stammtafeln[196] nor Poull[197] refers to any such daughter of Duke Simon. In addition, bearing in mind that Duke Simon himself was probably born in 1096[198], it is chronologically impossible for any daughter of his to have given birth to a child in [1123/25]. Her marriage date is estimated based on the estimated birth date of the couple's supposed elder daughter, Alix de Savoie, as shown below. The origin of Adelaide is unknown. However, according to Europäische Stammtafeln, her supposed daughter Alix was Dame de Châteauneuf-en-Valromey, de Virieu-le-Grand, et de Cordon-en-Bugey[199]. Further research to trace the ownership of these fiefdoms may provide clues about the origin of Adelaide.

m secondly ([Jul 1134/1135]) MATHILDE d'Albon, daughter of GUIGUES [V] Comte d'Albon [Viennois] & his wife Regina [Matilda] --- ([1112/16]-after 30 Mar 1148). "A. comes et marchio cum uxore sua M." donated property to the monastery of Ripalta, with the support of "eorum filio Umberto", by charter dated 9 Jan 1137[200]. The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus records that "Amedeo…secundo, Mauriennæ comiti" married "Guigona Crassi filia"[201]. The identity of her father is clarified as the passage also names "Humbertus minor Crassi filius" and his appointment ot "archiepiscopatum Viennensem". Europäische Stammtafeln[202] shows a single marriage of Comte Amedée III, to Mathilde d'Albon, in 1123. It is more likely that Mathilde was his second wife, as explained above, especially if her likely birth date range is correct. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[203], Mathilde's parents were married in [1106-1110]. The same table shows that Mathilde's two brothers, Guigues and Humbert, were mentioned in 1110, indicating that the marriage must have taken place during the earlier part of this date range. A third child, Gersende d'Albon, must also have born during the early years of her parents' marriage as she herself gave birth to two sons before (or shortly after) the death of her husband in Oct 1129. Assuming all these dates are correct, the timescale is tight for the birth of a fourth child, Mathilde, before 1112 at the earliest. This would make it impossible for Mathilde to have been the mother of Comte Amedée's oldest daughter Alix. "Amedeus comes et marchio et Maies comitissa uxor eius et Umbertus eorum filius" donated property to the monastery of Saint-Maurice by charter dated 30 Mar 1143[204]. "Amedeus comes et marchio" confirmed donations to Saint-Sulpice en Bugey, for the soul of "filii mei Humberti", by charter dated to [1148], which also names "uxore mea Matildi", confirmed by "Aalasia comitissa de Bello Joco…cum filio meo Guichardo"[205]. "Amedeus comes et marchio et Majes comitissa uxor eius et Umbertus eorum filius" confirmed the rights of the monastery of Saint-Maurice d´Agaune by charter dated 30 Mar 1148[206].

Comte Amedée III & his first wife had two children:

1. ALIX [Elise] de Savoie ([1123/25]-). Her origin is alluded to in the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines which names "pater Wichardi [de Belloico] senior Humbertus" as "nepos ex sorore comitis Sabaudie", although she is not named in this source[207]. Her birth date range is estimated based on the birth of her second son in 1142, as shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[208]. Dame de Châteauneuf-en-Valromey, de Virieu-le-Grand, et de Cordon-en-Bugey[209]. "Amedeus comes et marchio" confirmed donations to Saint-Sulpice en Bugey, for the soul of "filii mei Humberti", by charter dated to [1148], which also names "uxore mea Matildi", confirmed by "Aalasia comitissa de Bello Joco…cum filio meo Guichardo"[210]. m ([1140]) HUMBERT [III] Seigneur de Beaujeu, son of GUICHARD [IV] Seigneur de Beaujeu & his wife Lucienne de Rochefort ([1120]-[late Oct [1192]/1193]).

2. MATHILDE de Savoie ([1125][211]-Coimbra 4 Nov 1157, bur Coimbra, Church of the Cross). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the wife of "Aldefonsus rex Portugallie" as "filia comitis Sabaudie" but does not name her[212]. The De Rebus Hispaniæ of Rodericus Ximenes records the marriage of "Aldefonsum" and "Mafaldam filiam Comitis Maurienæ"[213]. The Chronicon Lusitanum records the marriage in 1183 (1145) of “Rex Donnus Alfonsus” and “Donnam Matildam, Comitis Amadæi de Moriana filiam”, adding that they had three sons and three daughters[214]. Brandaõ quotes a charter of the king dated 1146 which records “anno...quo duxeramt Mahaldam” and a charter dated Jul 1146 in which he records a donation “cum uxore mea Regina Dona Mafalda”[215]. It is likely that Mathilde was the daughter of Comte Amedée III's first marriage, although no proof has been found that this is correct. As she gave birth to her first child in 1147[216], it is improbable that she was the daughter of Comte Amedée III's marriage with Mathilde d'Albon for the same reasons of chronology as explained above. She was known as dona MAFALDA in Portugal. “Alfonsus, Portugaliæ rex, comitis Henrici et reginæ Theresiæ filius, magni quoque regis Alfonsi nepos…cum uxore mea regina donna Malfada, filia comitis Amedei de Moriana” confirmed donations to La Charité-sur-Loire by his father by charter dated Jul 1145[217]. The Chronicon Lusitanum records the death “III Non Dec” in 1196 (1158) of “Regina D. Matilda…Comitis Amadæi filia, uxor D. Alfonsi Portugallensium Regis”[218]. m ([Jan/Jun] 1146) AFONSO I King of Portugal, son of HENRIQUE Count of Portugal [Bourgogne-Comté] & his wife Infanta doña Teresa de Castilla y León, Queen of Portugal (Guimaraes 25 Jul 1110-Coimbra 6 Dec 1185, bur Coimbra, Church of the Cross).

Comte Amedée III & his second wife had seven children:

3. HUMBERT de Savoie (Avigliana 4 Aug 1136-Chambéry 4 Mar 1189, bur Abbaye de Hautecombe). Robert of Torigny names "Humbertus comes Moriennæ" as "filius Amati comitis"[219]. He succeeded in 1150 as HUMBERT III Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie.

- see below.

4. JEAN de Savoie (-Ranverso). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Guichenon states that Jean and his brother Pierre were monks at the monastery of Sant'Antonio di Ranverso in Piemonte where they died, but cites no source although the dated 1188 is placed in the margin[220].

5. PIERRE de Savoie (-Ranverso). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Guichenon states that Jean and his brother Pierre were monks at the monastery of Sant'Antonio di Ranverso in Piemonte where they died, but cites no source although the dated 1188 is placed in the margin[221].

6. GUILLAUME de Savoie (-after 1173). "…Willelmus frater comitis" signed the marriage contract dated 1173 between "Johanni filio Henrici…regis Angliæ" and "Humbertus comes Mauriensis et marchio Italiæ…filia…primogenita…Aalis"[222]. Priest.

7. AGNES de Savoie ([1136/45?]-before 1172). The death is recorded "Pridie Kal Aug" in 1194 of "dna Juliana abb.sa Sc.ti Andreæ", noting donations by "f.ris sui Humberti comiti Sabaudiæ" and "Agnetis sororis sue Gebennensis comitisse"[223]. m as his first wife, GUILLAUME de Genève, son of AMEDEE [I] Comte de Genève & his first wife Mathilde de Cuiseaux ([1131/37]-25 Jul 1196). He succeeded his father in 1178 as Comte de Genève.

8. MARGUERITE de Savoie (-after 1157). "Margarita soror comitis Sauoyæ" witnessed the charter of Guillaume Bishop of Belley dated 1157[224]. She founded the Cistercian abbey of Bond.

9. JULIANE de Savoie (-31 Dec 1194). The death is recorded "Pridie Kal Aug" in 1194 of "dna Juliana abb.sa Sc.ti Andreæ", noting donations by "f.ris sui Humberti comiti Sabaudiæ" and "Agnetis sororis sue Gebennensis comitisse"[225]. Abbess of Saint-André-le-Haut, Vienne.

HUMBERT de Savoie, son of AMEDEE III Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie & his second wife Mathilde d'Albon [Viennois] (Avigliana 4 Aug 1136-Chambéry 4 Mar 1189, bur Abbaye de Hautecombe). Robert of Torigny names "Humbertus comes Moriennæ" as "filius Amati comitis"[226]. "A. comes et marchio cum uxore sua M." donated property to the monastery of Ripalta, with the support of "eorum filio Umberto", by charter dated 9 Jan 1137[227]. "Amedeus comes et marchio et Maies comitissa uxor eius et Umbertus eorum filius" donated property to the monastery of Saint-Maurice by charter dated 30 Mar 1143[228]. "Amedeus comes et marchio et Majes comitissa uxor eius et Umbertus eorum filius" confirmed the rights of the monastery of Saint-Maurice d´Agaune by charter dated 30 Mar 1148[229]. He succeeded in 1150 as HUMBERT III Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie. "Humbertus Mauriacensis comes et marchio" donated "locum de Tyneres" {Tinières} to the abbey of Hautcrêt by charter dated 1150[230]. He established close relations with Henry II King of England, negotiating the marriage of one of his daughters with the king's son John[231]. He attempted to regain control over Turin and the surrounding lands, but came into conflict with Emperor Friedrich I "Barbarossa" who was also extending his power in northern Italy. Although the emperor was obliged to withdraw in 1168, he returned in 1174, burned the town of Susa in revenge for its opposition during his first Italian expedition, and deprived Comte Humbert of supremacy over the bishoprics of Turin, Belley and Tarentaise, placing them under the direct control of the empire. Comte Humbert continued to fight and, after refusing a summons to attend an imperial tribunal, was condemned in his absence to banishment from the empire and confiscation of his lands. Heinrich VI King of Germany was attempting to enforce the sentence on behalf of his father the emperor, when Comte Humbert died. "Umbertus comes de Morienna" granted privileges to the monastery of Santa Maria di Staffarda by charter dated 28 Jun 1172, witnessed by "Rodulfus Alaman, Poncius de Confluent…"[232]. The dating clause of a charter dated 20 Oct 1188, which records an agreement between the bishop of Maurienne and the canons of his cathedral, names "Humberto comite presidente"[233]. The necrology of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne records the death "IV Non Mar" in 1189 of "dognus Humbertus…comes Maur. et marchio Italie"[234]. He was beatified in 1836.

m firstly (before 3 Jan 1151) FAYDIVE, daughter of --- (-[1154]). "Umbertus comes, Amedei comitis filius…cum uxore sua…Faidiva" donated property by charter dated 3 Jan 1151[235]. The origins of Faydive are not known. Her unusual name suggests that she was Faydive de Toulouse, daughter of Alphonse I Jourdain Comte de Toulouse & his wife Faydive [Faydide] d'Uzès (-[1154]). However, she was not the only noble recorded with this name in south-western France during the early 12th century so this co-identity is not without doubt.

m secondly ([1155], divorced before 1162) as her first husband, GERTRUDE de Flandre, daughter of THIERRY I Count of Flanders & his second wife Sibylle d'Anjou (-3 Mar after 1186). The Genealogica Comitum Flandriæ Bertiniana names (in order) "Philippum, Matheum, Petrum et tres filias" as the children of "Theodericus filius ducis Alsatie [et] Sibillam", not naming the daughters but specifying that "quarum primogenita nupsit Amico comiti Intermontano"[236]. The Flandria Generosa names (in order) "Gertrudem et Margaretam" as the two daughters of Count Thierry & his second wife[237]. The Flandria Generosa, in a later manuscript, names "Gertrudis primogenita" and her first husband "comiti de Moriana", from whom she was separated, and her second husband "Hugoni de Oisi", specifying that she later became a nun at "Mencinis"[238]. She married secondly (after 1158) as his first wife, Hugues [III] d'Oisy Châtelain de Cambrai, and became a nun at Messines in [1177]. Philippe Count of Flanders, on the point of leaving on crusade, declared that "sororis mee Gertrudis quondam Morianensis comitisse" had renounced her inheritance before becoming a nun, by charter dated [24 Apr/12 Jun] 1177[239].

m thirdly (1164) as her second husband, KLEMENTIA von Zähringen, divorced wife of HEINRICH “der Löwe” Duke of Saxony and Bavaria, daughter of KONRAD Herzog von Zähringen & his wife Clémence de Namur (-[1173/75]). The Chronicon Sancti Michaelis Luneburgensis names "filiam ducis Zaringie, Clementiam" as wife of "Heinricus dux"[240]. The Chronicon Hanoniense refers to "filiam [uxorem]…dux Saxonum Henricus" as the daughter of "ducissam…Ciringiorum [filiam Godefridi comitis Namurcensi]"[241]. Heiress of Badenweiler, although her first husband sold these Swabian estates to Friedrich I "Barbarossa" King of Germany in 1158, receiving in exchange Herzberg, Scharzfels and Pöhlde south of the Harz[242]. Her first marriage was arranged to confirm her father's alliance with the Welf party in southern Germany[243]. The Annales Palidenses record the repudiation by "Heinricus dux" of his first wife "Bertoldi ducis Zaringe sorore"[244]. Her first husband repudiated Klementia because of the growing difficulties between her brother Duke Berthold IV and Emperor Friedrich I "Barbarossa", with whom Duke Heinrich was by then in close alliance[245]. Her second marriage is confirmed by Ralph de Diceto´s Ymagines Historiarum which record in 1173 the betrothal of “Henricus rex Angliæ, Johanni filio suo cognomento sine terra” and [her daughter] “septenni filiam primogenitam Humberti comitis de Moriana...ex relicta Henrici Saxonis ducis”[246].

m fourthly ([1175]) BEATRIX de Vienne, daughter of GERARD Comte de Mâcon et de Vienne [Bourgogne-Comté] & his wife Maurette de Salins (-8 Apr 1230). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to one of the unnamed sisters of "comitem Guilelmum Matisconensem sive Viennensem et Galterum de Salins et quemdam Gerardum et Stephanum Bisuntinensem electum" as mother of "comes Thomas de Sabaudia"[247]. "Thomas…Mauriannensis comes et marchio Italiæ" confirmed the donations made by "pater meus…[et] domini comitis Humberti…abavi mei" to the canons of Saint-Jean de Maurienne, with the advice of "B. matris mee et…tutore meo Bonifacio marchione Montisferrati", by charter dated 12 Jun 1189[248]. The necrology of Hautecombe records the death of "Beatrix comitissa" 8 Apr 1230[249].

Comte Humbert III & his third wife had two children:

1. ALIX de Maurienne ([1166]-1174). Ralph de Diceto´s Ymagines Historiarum record in 1173 the betrothal of “Henricus rex Angliæ, Johanni filio suo cognomento sine terra” and “septenni filiam primogenitam Humberti comitis de Moriana...ex relicta Henrici Saxonis ducis”[250]. Her parentage is specified by Matthew of Paris when he records this betrothal. Although he does not name her, he calls her "filia primogenita"[251]. Benedict of Peterborough records the betrothal of "Humbertus comes de Mauriana…Aalis filiam suam majoram" and "rex…Johannis filii sui iunioris" at "Alvernium…Montem Ferratum" in 1173 before 2 Feb, and the agreement whereby John would inherit the county of Maurienne if Humbert had no sons by his wife[252]. The marriage contract between "Johanni filio Henrici…regis Angliæ" and "Humbertus comes Mauriensis et marchio Italiæ…filia…primogenita…Aalis" is dated 1173[253]. Betrothed (Auvergne 1173 before 2 Feb) to JOHN Prince of England, son of HENRY II King of England & his wife Eléonore Ctss d’Aquitaine (Beaumont Palace, Oxford 24 Dec 166 or 1167-Newark Castle, Lincolnshire 18/19 Oct 1216, bur Worcester Cathedral). He succeeded his brother King Richard I in 1199 as JOHN King of England.

2. SOPHIE [Eléonore] de Maurienne ([1167/72]-3 Dec 1202). An epitaph in the monastery of S. Giovanni Batista di Gemmola, placed there in 1578, records the death "VI Id Mai" in 1226 of (her daughter) "Virgo Beatrix" daughter of "Marchio…Estensis…Azo" and his "coniuge patre…Sabaudia cui comitatur"[254]. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. m (before 1192) as his second wife, AZZO VI "Azzolino" d'Este, son of AZZO V d'Este & his wife --- ([1170]-Nov 1212, bur Vangadizza monastery). Podestà of Ferrara 1196, of Padua 1199, of Verona 1206/07 and of Mantua 1207/08. Created Marchese di Ancona e Conte di Loreto in 1210.

Comte Humbert III & his fourth wife had [two] children:

3. THOMAS de Maurienne (Château de Carbonara 1178 after 26 Jun-Moncalieri 1 Mar 1233, bur Saint-Michel de la Cluse). An undated charter records a donation to Saint-Maurice by "felicis memorie Humbertus…Savoie comes" and the confirmation by "Thomas filius eiusdem comitis"[255]. He succeeded his father in 1189 as THOMAS I Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie.

- see below.

4. [daughter (-aged 7 years). She is referred to in Europäische Stammtafeln as the daughter of Comte Humbert III and his fourth wife but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified[256]. She is not mentioned by Guichenon[257]. As Comte Humbert’s daughter Alix was also described as seven years old in the source quoted above, this daughter’s supposed existence may be based on some confusion with Alix.]

THOMAS de Maurienne, son of HUMBERT III Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie & his fourth wife Béatrix de Vienne [Bourgogne-Comté] (Château de Carbonara 1178 after 26 Jun-Moncalieri 1 Mar 1233, bur Saint-Michel de la Cluse). An undated charter records a donation to Saint-Maurice by "felicis memorie Humbertus…Savoie comes" and the confirmation by "Thomas filius eiusdem comitis"[258]. He succeeded his father in 1189 as THOMAS I Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie, under the regency of Guglielmo V Marchese di Monferrato who brokered a favourable settlement to Comte Humbert III's dispute with the empire[259]. As Marchese Guglielmo was absent in Palestine at the time of the death of Comte Humbert III, the regency was presumably held and the negotiations carried out by his son Bonifazio, who succeeded as Marchese di Monferrato in 1192. This hypothesis appears confirmed by the following charter: "Thomas…Mauriannensis comes et marchio Italiæ" confirmed the donations made by "pater meus…[et] domini comitis Humberti…abavi mei" to the canons of Saint-Jean de Maurienne, with the advice of "B. matris mee et…tutore meo Bonifacio marchione Montisferrati", by charter dated 12 Jun 1189[260]. "Thomæ comitis et marchionis…et…Nichola filia comitis Gebennarum" granted privileges to the citizen of Susa by charter dated 25 Feb 1198[261]. He used the title Comte de Savoie: "Thomas comes Sabaud. et Amedeus eius filius" granted rights to the abbey of San Marco by charter dated 5 Mar 1200[262]. Comte Thomas supported the imperial party over the Guelfs, and was appointed Imperial Vicar in Italy. Philipp King of Germany granted him Moudon in Vaud, and Chieri and Testona in Piemonte in 1207. He also acquired Carignano, Pinerolo, Moncalieri, Vigone, Albenga and Savona in Piemonte. "Thomas Maurianensis comes et marchio" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Maurice, with the consent of "filiis suis Amedeo et Humberto", by charter dated 8 Nov 1217[263]. A charter dated 1224 records an agreement between "Thomæ com. Sabaud" and the bishop of Sion, witnessed by "ipse Thomas comes, Amedeus primogenitus illius, Comitissa uxor Thomæ, eorum quatuor filii clerici…Willelmus, Thomas, Petrus et Bonifacius"[264]. He bought the town of Chambéry in 1232. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death in 1232 of "comitis Thome de Sabaudia"[265]. An indication of the precarious financial position of the counts of Savoy is provided by a third testament, dated 2 Nov 1240, made by Thomas´s son "Amadeus com Sab. et marchio in Italia" who repeated the nomination of "Thomæ, Flandriæ comiti, fratri suo" as his heir to "totius comitatus sui Sabaudiæ marchionatus Italiæ et ducatus Chablasii" if he died without male children, on condition that he satisfied all the debts of "Thomæ comitis patris et Humberti fratris ipsorum"[266].

m ([1196]) MARGUERITE [Beatrix] de Genève, daughter of GUILLAUME [I] Comte de Genève & his second wife Béatrix de Faucigny (-8 Apr 1257, bur Abbaye de Hautecombe). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Margareta filia domni de Fusceneis de matre Guilelmi, filii Humberti comitis Gebenensis" as wife of "comitis Thome de Sabaudia"[267]. As noted below, Marguerite is also called Beatrix in later sources. No explanation has been found for these dual names. The fact that "Beatrix" appears in a seal shows that it was not a transcription error. "Thomæ comitis et marchionis…et…Nichola [presumably a transcription error] filia comitis Gebennarum" granted privileges to the citizen of Susa by charter dated 25 Feb 1198[268]. The Complete Peerage[269] refers to unspecified "later writers" having evolved an incorrect theory that Thomas I Comte de Maurienne was married firstly to Béatrix and, after her death without issue, secondly to Marguerite, daughter of Guillaume de Faucigny, who was the mother of his children. The same source confirms that the two names in fact refer to the same person. A charter dated 1224 records an agreement between "Thomæ com. Sabaud" and the bishop of Sion, witnessed by "ipse Thomas comes, Amedeus primogenitus illius, Comitissa uxor Thomæ, eorum quatuor filii clerici…Willelmus, Thomas, Petrus et Bonifacius"[270]. "M. comitissa Maurian. uxor Thomæ comitis Maurianensis et marchionis Italiæ" donated property, with the consent of "Thomas com. Maurianæ et filii mei Amedeus et Aymo", by charter dated Dec 1227[271]. "M. comitissa Sabaudie et marchisa in Ytalia et…Amedeus, Aymo, W. electus Valentinus, Thomas, Petrus, Bonifacius et Philippus filii Thome Comitis Sab. et marchionis in Ytalia" confirmed donations to Hautecombe abbey by charter dated 26 Feb 1231[272]. "Beatrix uxor comitis Thomæ, Amadeus primogenitus et Aymo filii eius" confirmed the purchase of Chambéry by "Thoma comite" by charter dated 1232, with the seal of "Beatricis comitisse Sabaudie"[273]. "Amedeus comes Sabaudie et in Italie marchio…cum…genetrice sua et fratribus suis B. Bellicensi Electo et Philippo Metensi Primicerio" granted "villam S. Mauritii de Chablaisio" {Saint-Maurice de Chablais} to "soror illorum Margareta comitissa de Kiborch" by charter dated 24 Feb 1240[274]. "Contessa Margarita di Savoia Marchesa in Italia" donated property to "Tomaso suo figlio Conte di Fiandra e d'Hainaut" with the consent of "Conte Amedeo di Savoia suo figlio Primogenito", by charter dated 4 Jan 1244[275]. The Pingonio Chronicon records the death "VI Id Apr" in 1257 of "Domina Beatrix de Gebennis comitissa Sabaudie et domina de Narembors, parens comitum Sabaudie"[276].

Comte Thomas I & his wife had fourteen children:

1. AMEDEE de Savoie (Montmélian, Savoie 1197-Montmélian 13 Jul 1253, bur Abbaye de Hautecombe). "Thomas comes Sabaud. et Amedeus eius filius" granted rights to the abbey of San Marco by charter dated 5 Mar 1200[277]. His parentage is confirmed by, inter alia, Matthew of Paris who specifies that Beatrix de Savoie was "soror comitis Sabaldiæ adhuc viventis Amidei", when he records the marriage of her daughter to Henry III King of England[278]. In a later passage, the same source records Amedée as "primogenitus" among the "filii comitis Sabaudiæ Thomæ avunculi dominæ reginæ Angliæ Alienoræ"[279]. "Thomas Maurianensis comes et marchio" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Maurice, with the consent of "filiis suis Amedeo et Humberto", by charter dated 8 Nov 1217[280]. A charter dated 1224 records an agreement between "Thomæ com. Sabaud " and the bishop of Sion, witnessed by "ipse Thomas comes, Amedeus primogenitus illius, Comitissa uxor Thomæ, eorum quatuor filii clerici…Willelmus, Thomas, Petrus et Bonifacius"[281]. "M. comitissa Maurian. uxor Thomæ comitis Maurianensis et marchionis Italiæ" donated property, with the consent of "Thomas com. Maurianæ et filii mei Amedeus et Aymo", by charter dated Dec 1227[282]. "M. comitissa Sabaudie et marchisa in Ytalia et…Amedeus, Aymo, W. electus Valentinus, Thomas, Petrus, Bonifacius et Philippus filii Thome Comitis Sab. et marchionis in Ytalia" confirmed donations to Hautecombe abbey by charter dated 26 Feb 1231[283]. "Beatrix uxor comitis Thomæ, Amadeus primogenitus et Aymo filii eius" confirmed the purchase of Chambéry by "Thoma comite" by charter dated 1232, with the seal of "Beatricis comitisse Sabaudie"[284]. He succeeded his father in 1233 as AMEDEE IV Comte de Savoie, Marchese in Italy. "Amedeus comes Sabaudie et in Italia marchio" confirmed his father´s grant of privileges to Susa by charter dated 7 Mar 1233[285]. A charter dated 23 Jul 1234 records an agreement between "Amedeum comitem Sabaudie" and "Aymonem et Petrum fratres ipsius" in settlement of a dispute concerning their paternal inheritance[286]. The first testament of "Amedei comitis Sab. et marchionis Italie", dated 23 Sep 1235, appoints "Thomam fratrem suum" as his heir "in comitatu et marchionatu" in default of male children[287]. This document disinherits Thomas´s older brother Aimon. The second testament of "Amedeus comes Sabaudie", dated 19 Jul 1238, repeats the nomination of "Thomam fratrem suum" as his heir, substituting "Philippum, huic autem Petrum fratres suos" if Thomas died without male heirs[288]. He was an active supporter of Emperor Friedrich II. He acquired territories in Vaud and lower Valais. In 1238, Comte Amedée was created Duc de Chablais and Aosta, and nominated Imperial Vicar in northern Italy, by the emperor in reward for his support against the Lombards[289]. Under a third testament, dated 2 Nov 1240, "Amadeus com Sab. et marchio in Italia" repeated the nomination of "Thomæ, Flandriæ comiti, fratri suo" as his heir to "totius comitatus sui Sabaudiæ marchionatus Italiæ et ducatus Chablasii" if he died without male children, on condition that he satisfied all the debts of "Thomæ comitis patris et Humberti fratris ipsorum"[290]. A charter dated 1244 confirmed the peace agreement reached between the bishop of Lausanne and "Amadeus comes Sabaudie et in Italia marcho et…Petrus de Sabaudia…frater suus"[291]. Emperor Friedrich II recognised Amedée's rights over Turin in 1248. On the emperor's death in 1250, Comte Amedée's reconciliation with Pope Innocent IV was sealed by the marriage of the Pope's niece to Comte Amedée's brother Thomas[292]. A fourth testament of "Amedeus comes Sabaudie" is dated 19 Sep 1252, appoints "Bonifacium filium meum" as his heir, under the tutelage of his brother Thomas, substituting "fratri meo Thome de Sabaudia comitis…Beatricem filiam meam uxorem quondam Manfredi marchionis Salutiarum et Margaretam filiam meam uxorem Bonifacii marchionis Montisferrati", and names "Cecilie…uxori nostre…Beatrix filia mea minor"[293]. A fifth testament of Comte Amedée IV is dated 24 May 1253, appoints "Bonifacius filius suus, sub tutela Thomæ comitis" as his heir, substitutes "filiæ Amedei comitis…marchionissæ Beatrix Salutiarum et Margaretha Montisferrati", bequeathes "castrum Montis Meliani" to "Cæciliæ comitissæ", and chooses to be buried at Hautecombe[294]. An epitaph in Hautecombe abbey records the death "III Id Jul" in 1253 of "Dominus Amedeus…comes Sabaudie"[295]. Betrothed (28 Apr 1213) to AGNESE di Saluzzo, daughter of BONIFAZIO Marchese di Saluzzo & his wife Maria di Torres [in Sardinia] (-after 1219). The marriage contract between "Thomam comitem Maurienne…Amedeo f. dicti comitis" and "Manfredum II marchionem de Saluciis…Agnetem f. quondam Bonefacii" is dated 28 Apr 1213[296]. m firstly (before 1221) MARGUERITE de Bourgogne, daughter of HUGUES III Duke of Burgundy [Capet] & his second wife Béatrix Dauphine de Viennois ([1192]-[1228/30] or [1242]). The testament of "Guigo Dalphinus, Vienn. et Albonis comitis", dated 27 Jun 1267, confirmed donations made by "…matertera Margarita vel Domina Ducissa avia mea…meæ amitæ quondam comitissæ Sabaudiæ"[297]. It is not clear from this document whether "matertera Margarita" and "meæ amitæ quondam comitissæ Sabaudiæ" refer to the same person as they are named in the context of two separate donations in different parts of the testament. The use of "matertera" and "amitæ" as two different terms to express the relationship "aunt" suggests that they may have been different individuals. Valbonnais assumes that they were the same person, "Marguerite sœur du dauphin André" who married "Amé fils de Thomas Comte de Savoie", and adds that "la duchesse Beatrix" named "son héritier le Dauphin André son fils…Matilde sa fille aînée femme de Jean Comte de Chalon…Marguerite son autre fille épouse d´Amedée fils du comte de Savoye" in her testament dated 1228[298]. If the suggested second marriage of Comte Amedée is correctly shown below, Marguerite de Bourgogne must have died in [1228/30]. If it is incorrect, her date of death is estimated to [1242]. [m secondly ([1228/30]) MARGUERITE de Viennois, daughter of ANDRE de Bourgogne [Capet] Comte d´Albon, Dauphin & his first wife Beatrix de Sabran ([1203/07]-[1242]). The Inventory of the State Archives of Turin[299] mentions a document dated 1230 which refers to the marriage of Comte Amedée with "Marguerite daughter of André dauphin, comte de Viennois", but without giving the context (marriage contract, appointment of proxy etc.). Although her mother is not named, the date of the document suggests that it is likely that Marguerite would have been born from her supposed father's first marriage. However, there is some doubt whether this reference can be correct. As noted above, two primary sources indicate that Comte Amedée IV married Marguerite de Bourgogne as his first wife, one source indicating that she was still alive in 1228. Marguerite de Viennois would therefore have been the niece of Comte Amedée´s first wife. Such a relationship by marriage would have necessitated a papal dispensation, which may not have been easily obtained given the closeness of the affinity. In addition, this supposed second marriage would have taken place during the papacy of Pope Gregory IX, who is recorded as granting only 11 dispensations during his 14 year reign (6 of which related to validating existing marriages), which suggests that he was "averse to dispensing from the impediments of relationship"[300]. Another possibility is that the Inventory of State Archives mistook "daughter" for "sister" in its extract, and that the 1230 document refers to Comte Amedée´s earlier marriage to Marguerite de Bourgogne. Since writing the above comment, an updated version of the online State Archives Inventory now suggests that this possibility may be correct: while the new summary still refers to “Matrimoni. Amedeo IV di Savoia e Margherita figlia di Andrea Delfino conte di Vienna”, a further extract states that the document records that “Margherita di Vienne” gave receipt “al fratello Andrea Delfino di Vienne” for the sum bequeathed to her “in testamento dalla madre Beatrice contessa di Vienne”[301]. The original document has not been consulted to verify how this conflict is resolved. Altogether, this possible second marriage, based only on this index entry, now looks unlikely to be correct.] m [secondly/thirdly] (contract 22 Nov 1244, by proxy Orange 18 Dec 1244) CECILE des Baux, daughter of BARRAL Seigneur des Baux & his wife Béatrice d'Anduze (-21 May 1275). The contract of marriage between "Amedeum comitem Sabaudiæ" and "Cæciliam Barralis domini Baucii filiam" is dated 18 Dec 1243, witnessed by "Humbertum de Seyssel dominum Aquarum…Raymundo de Baucio principe Aurasiæ, Guillelmo de Baucio nepote illius…"[302]. A charter dated 22 Nov 1244 records the agreement for the marriage of “dominum Amedeum comitem Sabaudie” and “dominam Ceciliam, neptem…domini R. comitis Tolosani, filiam…domini Barralli del Bauz”[303]. A charter dated 18 Dec 1244 confirms the celebration by proxy of the marriage between "Amedée IV Comte de Savoie, marquis d'Italie" (represented by "Humbert de Seyssel") and "Cécile fille de Barral de Baux" at the "chapelle Sainte-Marie d'Orange", in the presence of "Raymond de Baux I, son neveu Raymond II prince et co-prince d'Orange, Guillaume de Sabran, et B. de Baux chanoine d'Avignon"[304]. Raymond VII Comte de Toulouse, Marquis de Provence granted all his property beyond the Rhône to "sa niece Cécile de Baux, fille de Barral" by charter dated 24 Feb 1241[305], which may explain why Cécile was such a good marriage prospect for the comte de Savoie. A fourth testament of "Amedeus comes Sabaudie" is dated 19 Sep 1252, appoints "Bonifacium filium meum" as his heir, under the tutelage of his brother Thomas, substituting "fratri meo Thome de Sabaudia comitis…Beatricem filiam meam uxorem quondam Manfredi marchionis Salutiarum et Margaretam filiam meam uxorem Bonifacii marchionis Montisferrati", and names "Cecilie…uxori nostre…Beatrix filia mea minor"[306]. Her husband granted her the castles of Momigliano, La Rocchetta, e Terra della Tarantasia for life by charter dated 24 May 1253[307]. A fifth testament of Comte Amedée IV is dated 24 May 1253, appoints "Bonifacius filius suus, sub tutela Thomæ comitis" as his heir, substitutes "filiæ Amedei comitis…marchionissæ Beatrix Salutiarum et Margaretha Montisferrati", bequeathes "castrum Montis Meliani" to "Cæciliæ comitissæ", and chooses to be buried at Hautecombe[308]. "Amedeus comes Sabaudie" granted "castrum Montis Meliani" to "Cæciliæ comitissæ conjugi suæ" for life, on condition that she allows "Bonifacium filium ex matrimonio eorum procreatum" to live with her[309]. The testament of "Beatricis relictæ Raimundi Berengarii comitis Provinciæ", dated 14 Jan 1264, adds bequests to "…Cæciliæ relictæ Amedei Sabaudiæ comitis…"[310]. "Cæciliæ comitissæ relictæ Amedei quondam comitis Sabaudiæ" donated property by charter dated 19 Jan 1268[311]. "Cecilia Vedova del Conte Amedeo di Savoia" granted property which she inherited after the death of "Bonifacio suo figlio" to "Filippo Conte di Savoia e di Borgonia" by charter dated Oct 1268[312]. Comte Amedée IV & his first wife had two children:

a) BEATRIX de Savoie (before 4 Mar 1223-10 May before 1259). The marriage contract between "Alaxiam comitissam Saluciarum et Manfredum marchionem Saluciarum eius nepotem" and "Thomam comitem Maurianæ…neptem suam…Beatrix" is dated 4 Mar 1223[313]. A contract dated 2 Oct 1227 between "Marchese Enrico di Savona" and "il Marchese Manfredo di Saluzzo" refers to the dowry of "Marchese di Savona…sua Consorte, figlia di Amedeo figlio del Conte di Savoia"[314]. Beatrix must have born in the early 1220s as she had three children by her first husband who died in 1244. The Istoria of Saba Malaspina records that "Manfredus" married "natam Amadei comitis Sabaudiæ…Beatricem"[315]. The Historia Sicula of Bartolomeo di Neocastro records that "Manfredus" married "dominam Beatricem filiam ducis Sex Viarum, qui prius in virum…marchionem de Salluciis"[316]. Her second marriage was arranged in recognition of the alliance between her father and Emperor Friedrich II. A charter dated 8 May 1246 records the restitution of "castri Ripolarum" by Emperor Friedrich II to "fratribus de Sabaudia, Amedeo comite et Thoma", confirmed by the betrothal of "Manfredum dictum Lancea, filium naturalem imperatoris" and "Beatricem filiam Amedei comitis, relictam Manfredi marchionis Salucensis"[317]. The proxy of marriage between "Manfredo Lanza di Lui [Imperator Federico secundo] figlio" and "la Contessa di Saluzzo figlia del Conte Amedeo di Savoia" is dated Mar 1247[318]. The contract of marriage between "Manfredi Lanceæ filii Friderici Rom. Imperatoris" and "Beatrice marchionissa Salutiensi, filia Amedei comitis Sabaudiæ et in Italia marchionis, relicta Manfredi marchionis Salutiarum" is dated 21 Apr 1247[319]. A fourth testament of "Amedeus comes Sabaudie" is dated 19 Sep 1252, appoints "Bonifacium filium meum" as his heir, under the tutelage of his brother Thomas, substituting "fratri meo Thome de Sabaudia comitis…Beatricem filiam meam uxorem quondam Manfredi marchionis Salutiarum et Margaretam filiam meam uxorem Bonifacii marchionis Montisferrati", and names "Cecilie…uxori nostre…Beatrix filia mea minor"[320]. A fifth testament of Comte Amedée IV is dated 24 May 1253, appoints "Bonifacius filius suus, sub tutela Thomæ comitis" as his heir, substitutes "filiæ Amedei comitis…marchionissæ Beatrix Salutiarum et Margaretha Montisferrati", bequeathes "castrum Montis Meliani" to "Cæciliæ comitissæ", and chooses to be buried at Hautecombe[321]. The absence of any reference to Beatrix´s current husband King Manfred suggests a breakdown in their marriage. m firstly (betrothed 4 Mar 1223 and 2 Oct 1227, Mar 1233) MANFREDO III Marchese di Saluzzo, son of BONIFAZIO di Saluzzo & his wife Maria di Torres [in Sardinia] (-29 Oct 1244). m secondly (Betrothed 8 May 1246, by proxy Mar 1247, contract 21 Apr 1247, [Dec 1248/Jan 1249]) as his first wife, MANFRED von Hohenstaufen, illegitimate son of Emperor FRIEDRICH II King of Sicily & his mistress Bianca Lancia (Venosa 1232-killed in battle Benevento 26 Feb 1266). At the time of his marriage, his father constituted him Lord of territory from Pavia to Genoa. He succeeded as Principe di Tarento in 1250 on the death of his father. Regent of Sicily in 1254, he was crowned MANFREDO King of Sicily at Palermo 10 Aug 1258.

b) MARGUERITE de Savoie ([1224/28]-after 14 Jan 1264). "Thomas comes Maurianæ" donated property to "Bonifacio Marchioni Montisferrati" by way of dowry of "Margarethæ futuræ uxoris Bonifacii et filiæ Amedei Sabaudia primogeniti Thomæ comitis" by charter dated 18 Jan 1228[322]. It is unlikely that Marguerite was born much later than 1228 as her mother was at that date already at least 36 years old, and Marguerite herself had at least three children before she died in 1254. The date of her marriage is confirmed by a charter dated 18 Nov 1235, which confirmed a pact between her father and the bishop of Torino, approved by "domina Margarita eius filia…uxor dom. Bonifacii marchionis Montisferrati"[323]. "Bonifacius marchio Montisferrati" donated property to "uxori suæ Margarethæ, Amadei comitis Sab. filiæ" by charter dated 9 Dec 1235[324]. A fourth testament of "Amedeus comes Sabaudie" is dated 19 Sep 1252, appoints "Bonifacium filium meum" as his heir, under the tutelage of his brother Thomas, substituting "fratri meo Thome de Sabaudia comitis…Beatricem filiam meam uxorem quondam Manfredi marchionis Salutiarum et Margaretam filiam meam uxorem Bonifacii marchionis Montisferrati", and names "Cecilie…uxori nostre…Beatrix filia mea minor"[325]. A fifth testament of Comte Amedée IV is dated 24 May 1253, appoints "Bonifacius filius suus, sub tutela Thomæ comitis" as his heir, substitutes "filiæ Amedei comitis…marchionissæ Beatrix Salutiarum et Margaretha Montisferrati", bequeathes "castrum Montis Meliani" to "Cæciliæ comitissæ", and chooses to be buried at Hautecombe[326]. The testament of "Bonefacius Montisferrati marchio", dated 12 Jun 1253, bequeathes property to "Alaxinam filiam meam inpuberem", appoints "Guilelminum filium meum inpuberem" as his heir, substituting in turn "Alaxinam…filia mea" and "Tomam de Saluciis", if his son died childless, and appoints "dominam Margaritam comitissam uxorem mea matrem ipsius Guilelmini et dominum comitem de Sabaldia et dominum Tomam de Sabaldia fratrem suum et Dalfinum de Vianesio et dominum Jacobum de Careto et dominum Georgium et dominum Manuellem de Ceva et Bastardinum de Monteferrato" as guardians of his son[327]. Her second marriage is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[328], although this is inconsistent with her dying in 1254 as shown in another table[329]. The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not yet been identified. The marriage is not given by Jules Chevalier[330]. It is possible that the dispensation was issued but that the marriage never actually took place. The testament of "Beatricis relictæ Raimundi Berengarii comitis Provinciæ", dated 14 Jan 1264, adds bequests to "…Margarithæ matri marchionis Montisferrati nepti suæ…"[331]. m [firstly] (Betrothed 18 Jan 1228, before 18 Nov 1235) BONIFACIO II Marchese di Monferrato, son of GUGLIELMO VI Marchese di Monferrato & his second wife Berta di Clavesana (-[12 Jun 1253/10 Dec 1255]). [m secondly (Papal dispensation 26 Jan 1255) as his second wife, AYMAR [III] Comte de Valentinois, son of GUILLAUME II Comte de Valentinois & his wife Flotte de Royans (-[6 May/17 Jun] 1277, bur Bonlieu).]

Comte Amedée IV & his [second/third] wife had four children:

c) BONIFACE de Savoie (-Turin [7 Jun] 1263, bur Saint-Jean de Maurienne, transferred to Saint-Michel de la Cluse). A fourth testament of "Amedeus comes Sabaudie" is dated 19 Sep 1252, appoints "Bonifacium filium meum" as his heir, under the tutelage of his brother Thomas, substituting "fratri meo Thome de Sabaudia comitis…Beatricem filiam meam uxorem quondam Manfredi marchionis Salutiarum et Margaretam filiam meam uxorem Bonifacii marchionis Montisferrati", and names "Cecilie…uxori nostre…Beatrix filia mea minor"[332]. A fifth testament of Comte Amedée IV is dated 24 May 1253, appoints "Bonifacius filius suus, sub tutela Thomæ comitis" as his heir, substitutes "filiæ Amedei comitis…marchionissæ Beatrix Salutiarum et Margaretha Montisferrati", bequeathes "castrum Montis Meliani" to "Cæciliæ comitissæ", and chooses to be buried at Hautecombe[333]. "Amedeus comes Sabaudie" granted "castrum Montis Meliani" to "Cæciliæ comitissæ conjugi suæ" for life, on condition that she allows "Bonifacium filium ex matrimonio eorum procreatum" to live with her He succeeded his father in 1253 as BONIFACE "Roland" Comte de Savoie. He led campaigns in Flanders and Piemonte which were disastrous for Savoy[334].

d) BEATRIX de Savoie (-Escalona Nov 1290 or 23 Feb 1292). A fourth testament of "Amedeus comes Sabaudie" is dated 19 Sep 1252, appoints "Bonifacium filium meum" as his heir, under the tutelage of his brother Thomas, substituting "fratri meo Thome de Sabaudia comitis…Beatricem filiam meam uxorem quondam Manfredi marchionis Salutiarum et Margaretam filiam meam uxorem Bonifacii marchionis Montisferrati", and names "Cecilie…uxori nostre…Beatrix filia mea minor"[335]. Amedée IV Comte de Savoie granted money to "Beatrici juniori, filiæ suæ e Cecilia prognatæ", at the request of "Cæciliæ uxoris suæ", by charter dated 28 May 1253[336]. Zurita records the betrothal of “Infante Don Iayme” and “una hija del Conde Amadeo de Saboya...Beatriz” in 1263[337]. The testament of "Beatricis relictæ Raimundi Berengarii comitis Provinciæ", dated 14 Jan 1264, orders "Contissona filia Amedei comitis…" to fulfil religious bequests[338]. The following reference shows that Beatrix was known as "Contesson". "Contessa Beatrice detta Contesson figlia del fu Conte Amedeo di Savoia e della Contessa Cecilia" renounced her rights of succession with the consent of her mother and "Pietro Boverio di Lei Marito" in favour of "Conte Filippo di Savoia di Lei Patruo" by contract dated 21 Oct 1268[339]. Pope Clement IV wrote 11 Aug 1266 to "Jacobo…filii…Regis Aragonum" requiring him to comply with the marriage contract with "filiam B. natam bonæ memoriæ Comitis Sabaudiæ"[340]. Although this document does not name the Comte de Savoie in question, Comte Amedée IV was the only one who was recently deceased ("bonæ memoriæ") at the date of the letter. If this is correct, the betrothed must have been his daughter Beatrix, the only one whose name began with the letter b. Under another testament dated 7 May 1268, "Petrus comes Sabaudia" granted bequests to "…B. filiam Amedei comitis…fratris nostri quondam…"[341]. "Pietro Bovero figlio del Conte Gioanni di Borgogna e Signore di Salins" donated property to "Beatrice figlia del Conte Amedeo di Savoia sua future Sposa" by contract dated "la Festa di S. Luca 1269"[342]. The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not yet been identified. The Chronicon Domini Joannis Emmanuelis records the marriage in 1275 of “Infans Dns Emmanuel cum Comitissa” in the same month as the death of his son Alfonso[343]. The Chronicon Domini Joannis Emmanuelis records the death in Nov 1290 of “Comitissa, mater Dni Joannis, in Escalona”[344]. Betrothed (1263, contract broken before 11 Aug 1266) to Infante don JAIME de Aragón, son of JAIME I "el Conquistador" King of Aragon & his second wife Iolanda of Hungary (Barcelona [or Montpellier?] 1243-Palma de Mallorca 29 May 1311). He succeeded his father in 1276 as JAIME II King of Mallorca. m firstly (21 Oct 1268) PIERRE "le Bouvier" de Salins Seigneur de Châtelbelin, son of JEAN I "l'Antique/le Sage" Seigneur de Salins [Bourgogne-Comté] & his second wife Isabelle de Courtenay (-[21 Jul 1272/29 Apr 1274]). m secondly (1275) as his second wife, Infante don MANUEL de Castilla y León, Señor de Escalona y Peñafiel, son of FERNANDO III “el Santo” King of Castile & his first wife Elisabeth von Hohenstaufen (Carrión de los Condes 1234-Peñafiel 25 Dec 1283, bur Uclés, Santiago convent).

e) ELEONORE de Savoie. She is not mentioned in either the 19 Sep 1252 or 24 May 1253 testaments of her father[345], which suggests that she may have born posthumously, in which case she must have been the twin of her sister Constance. The testament of "Beatrice Vedova del Re Berengario Conte di Provenza" dated 14 Jan 1264 makes bequests "…a Contesson…più ad Eleonora altra sua figlia…"[346]. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified. m (1269) GUICHARD de Forez, son of RENAUD Comte de Forez [Albon] & his wife Isabelle Dame de Beaujeu.

f) CONSTANCE de Savoie (-[before 14 Jan 1264]). Guichenon names Constance as daughter of Comte Amedée IV, adding that she died unmarried[347]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. She is not mentioned in either the 19 Sep 1252 or 24 May 1253 testaments of her father[348], which suggests that she may have born posthumously, in which case she must have been the twin of her sister Eléonore. She probably died before 14 Jan 1264, the date of the testament of "Beatrice Vedova del Re Berengario Conte di Provenza" under which her two older sisters received bequests and in which she is not named[349].

2. HUMBERT de Savoie ([1198]-in Hungary 1223). "Thomas Maurianensis comes et marchio" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Maurice, with the consent of "filiis suis Amedeo et Humberto", by charter dated 8 Nov 1217[350]. An indication of Humbert´s precarious financial position is provided by a third testament, dated 2 Nov 1240, made by Thomas´s son "Amadeus com Sab. et marchio in Italia" who repeated the nomination of "Thomæ, Flandriæ comiti, fratri suo" as his heir to "totius comitatus sui Sabaudiæ marchionatus Italiæ et ducatus Chablasii" if he died without male children, on condition that he satisfied all the debts of "Thomæ comitis patris et Humberti fratris ipsorum"[351]. The testament of "Thomas de Sabaudia comes" dated 26 Jun 1248 remembers the souls of "bonæ memoriæ Thoma quondam comite Sabaudiæ patre meo…fratribus meis Umberto…Aymone et Vuillermo quondam electo Valentinensi"[352]. Europäische Stammtafeln[353] shows two sons of Comte Thomas I both named Humbert, without any dates of birth or death for the second. The 26 Jun 1248 testament of Humbert's brother Thomas de Savoie[354] includes bequests for masses for the souls of his "late brothers Humbert, Aimon, Guillaume", indicating that there was only one brother of each name.

3. AYMON de Savoie ([1200]-1242). "M. comitissa Maurian. uxor Thomæ comitis Maurianensis et marchionis Italiæ" donated property, with the consent of "Thomas com. Maurianæ et filii mei Amedeus et Aymo", by charter dated Dec 1227[355]. "M. comitissa Sabaudie et marchisa in Ytalia et…Amedeus, Aymo, W. electus Valentinus, Thomas, Petrus, Bonifacius et Philippus filii Thome Comitis Sab. et marchionis in Ytalia" confirmed donations to Hautecombe abbey by charter dated 26 Feb 1231[356]. "Beatrix uxor comitis Thomæ, Amadeus primogenitus et Aymo filii eius" confirmed the purchase of Chambéry by "Thoma comite" by charter dated 1232, with the seal of "Beatricis comitisse Sabaudie"[357]. "Haymo filius quondam bonæ memoriæ Thome com. Sab. et march. in Italia" donated property to Hautecombe by charter dated 1233[358]. A charter dated 23 Jul 1234 records an agreement between "Amedeum comitem Sabaudie" and "Aymonem et Petrum fratres ipsius" in settlement of a dispute concerning their paternal inheritance[359]. The disagreement must have persisted, at least in the case of Aymon, as he was disinherited under the testament of "Amedei comitis Sab. et marchionis Italie", dated 23 Sep 1235, which appointed his younger brother "Thomam fratrem suum" as his heir "in comitatu et marchionatu" in default of male children[360]. Seigneur d´Agaune. "Aymo dominus Agaunensis frater comitis Sabaudie" confirmed a donation to Hautecombe abbey by charter dated Oct 1235[361]. Seigneur de Chablais. "Aymo de Sabaudia dominus de Chablasio, filius bonæ mem. Thomæ, ill. Sabaud. comitis" founded the hospital of Villeneuve, for the souls of and with the support of his mother and four brothers (all named) by charter dated 25 Jun 1236[362]. The mention of his older brother suggests that the dispute with Aymon had been resolved by this date. Nevertheless, Aymon is also passed over as heir in the second testament of his older brother "Amedeus comes Sabaudie" dated 19 Jul 1238, which repeats the nomination of "Thomam fratrem suum" as his heir, substituting "Philippum, huic autem Petrum fratres suos" if Thomas died without male heirs[363]. An indication of the precarious financial position of the counts of Savoy is provided by a third testament, dated 2 Nov 1240, made by Thomas´s son "Amadeus com Sab. et marchio in Italia" who repeated the nomination of "Thomæ, Flandriæ comiti, fratri suo" as his heir to "totius comitatus sui Sabaudiæ marchionatus Italiæ et ducatus Chablasii" if he died without male children, on condition that he satisfied all the debts of "Thomæ comitis patris et Humberti fratris ipsorum"[364]. This charter suggests that financial considerations may have played their part in Aymon´s continued disinheritance in favour of his brother Thomas, the latter having made a profitable marriage with the Ctss of Flanders. The testament of "Thomas de Sabaudia comes" dated 26 Jun 1248 remembers the souls of "bonæ memoriæ Thoma quondam comite Sabaudiæ patre meo…fratribus meis Umberto…Aymone et Vuillermo quondam electo Valentinensi"[365]. Europäische Stammtafeln[366] shows two sons of Comte Thomas I both named Aymon, without any dates of birth or death for the second. Seigneur de Chillon, de Villeneuve et de Chablais. He died of leprosy.

4. GUILLAUME de Savoie ([1201]-poisoned Viterbo 1 Nov 1239, bur Abbaye de Hautecombe). A charter dated 1224 records an agreement between "Thomæ com. Sabaud " and the bishop of Sion, witnessed by "ipse Thomas comes, Amedeus primogenitus illius, Comitissa uxor Thomæ, eorum quatuor filii clerici…Willelmus, Thomas, Petrus et Bonifacius"[367]. Elected Bishop of Valence 1224. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records that "alter filiorum eius [comitis Thome de Sabaudia] Guilelmus" was elected bishop of Valence[368]. "M. comitissa Sabaudie et marchisa in Ytalia et…Amedeus, Aymo, W. electus Valentinus, Thomas, Petrus, Bonifacius et Philippus filii Thome Comitis Sab. et marchionis in Ytalia" confirmed donations to Hautecombe abbey by charter dated 26 Feb 1231[369]. He was named in the Feb 1233 testament of his brother Pierre[370]. The Annals of Dunstable record that “electus Valenciæ, avunculus reginæ nostræ” arrived in England in 1237 and was made the king´s principle adviser (“consiliarius regis principalis”) and granted the honor of Richmond[371]. Matthew of Paris records that he was adviser to Henry III King of England but left the country after quarrelling with the barons, but was permitted to return by the king[372], which represents the earliest reference in this source to the problems caused by relations of Queen Eléonore. The king proposed his election as Bishop of Winchester in 1238, but the church council elected Ralph Neville, whose election was quashed by the Pope after intervention by the king[373]. He was elected Bishop of Liège in 1238. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the election “in crastino sancti Iohannis” in 1238 of the new bishop of Liège, where “primicerius Metensis Iacobus...prepositus Leodiensis et frater ducis de Nanceio” supported the candidacy of “preposito Ottoni Aquensi”, while “archdyaconus...Galtherus frater comitis de Retest” supported “fratri comitis Flandrie...electo Valentie Guillelmo”. The same source records that “ille de Traiecto vel de Aquis” was elected first by “Conradum Coloniensem electum et per Conradum filium imperatoris et per ipsum imperatorem”, while “electus Valencie” was visiting Cremona where he also received “regalia sua ab imperatore”. Both candidates then went to Rome where the Pope annulled the election of “pontifex Traiectensem Ottonem” and confirmed “electum Valentie Guillelmum” as bishop of Liège[374]. Matthew Paris records the death "die omnium Sanctorum…venenatus Viterbii" in 1239 of "Guillelmus de Sabaudia electus Valentinus"[375]. The Chronicle of Hautecombe records the death in 1239 of "dominus Guillermus de Sabaudia electus Valencie" and his burial "III Non Mai" (presumably in 1240)[376]. The Aegidii Aurævallensis Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensium records the death “in partibus Transalpinis” in Oct 1239 of Bishop Guillaume and his burial “in civitate Florentia”[377]. The testament of "Philippi de Sabaudia electi Lugdunensis", dated 26 May 1256, names "Petrus de Sabaudia frater et Beatrix comitissa Provinciæ" as his heirs, chooses burial at Hautecombe, and founds an anniversary at Valence for the soul of "defuncti fratris sui Willelmi, electi illius ecclesiæ"[378].

5. THOMAS de Savoie (Château de Montmélian [1202]-Chambéry 7 Feb 1259, bur Aosta Cathedral). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records that "tertius [filiorum comitis Thome de Sabaudia] Thomas" was "cassatus de episcopatu Laurensi et archiepiscopatu Lugdunensis"[379]. He succeeded in 1253 as THOMAS II Comte de Savoie, as regent or co-ruler with his nephew.

6. PIERRE de Savoie (castle of Susa [1203]-Pierre Châtel [14] May 1268, bur 16 May 1268 Abbaye de Hautecombe). A charter dated 1224 records an agreement between "Thomæ com. Sabaud " and the bishop of Sion, witnessed by "ipse Thomas comes, Amedeus primogenitus illius, Comitissa uxor Thomæ, eorum quatuor filii clerici…Willelmus, Thomas, Petrus et Bonifacius"[380]. Canon at Lausanne in Nov 1226. Provost at Aosta from before 2 May 1227. Provost at Geneva Apr 1229. Coadjutor at Lausanne. "M. comitissa Sabaudie et marchisa in Ytalia et…Amedeus, Aymo, W. electus Valentinus, Thomas, Petrus, Bonifacius et Philippus filii Thome Comitis Sab. et marchionis in Ytalia" confirmed donations to Hautecombe abbey by charter dated 26 Feb 1231[381]. The first testament of "Petrus filius quondam Thome comitis Sabaudie" dated Feb 1234 (N.S.) appoints the children to be born from his marriage to "Annete filia nob. viri Ay. Dni Fuciniaci" and names "Dni Wi electi Valent. et Ay de Sabaudia fratrum"[382]. A charter dated 23 Jul 1234 records an agreement between "Amedeum comitem Sabaudie" and "Aymonem et Petrum fratres ipsius" in settlement of a dispute concerning their paternal inheritance[383]. He resigned his ecclesiastical appointments in 1236. He was seized and imprisoned in [1237] by the sons of Guillaume II Comte de Genève, for which Pierre was later compensated with the castle of Arlod and 20,000 marks of silver (reduced to 10,000 marks in 1250). The second testament of "Amedeus comes Sabaudie", dated 19 Jul 1238, repeats the nomination of "Thomam fratrem suum" as his heir, substituting "Philippum, huic autem Petrum fratres suos" if Thomas died without male heirs[384], although it is unclear why the youngest brother Philippe should have been given precedence over Pierre in this document. Matthew of Paris records that Henry III King of England, married to his niece Eléonore de Provence, gave him the honour of Richmond 20 Apr 1240, invited him to England towards the end of the same year and knighted him 5 Jan 1241[385]. On the death of his brother Aymon in 1242, he received the towns of Milden and Romont[386]. "Peter de Sabaudia" was granted the "honour of Richemund" dated 20 Apr 1240[387]. Although known popularly as Earl of Richmond, this title was never accorded him officially. King Henry III made him numerous grants between 1241 and 1249, including creating him Constable of the castles of Lewes and Rochester and Warden of the Cinque Ports, and granting him a house in London, on the site of which the Savoy Hotel was later built[388]. "The king´s uncle Peter de Sabaudia" was granted numerous manors in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire in the honour of Richmond, with the right to assign them to "any of his brothers or kinsmen", dated 6 May 1241[389]. A charter dated 1244 confirmed the peace agreement reached between the bishop of Lausanne and "Amadeus comes Sabaudie et in Italia marcho et…Petrus de Sabaudia…frater suus"[390]. "Peter de Sabaudia the king´s uncle" was granted "houses on the Thames…in the street called la Straunde" [presumably located on the site later occupied by the Savoy Hotel] dated 12 Feb 1246[391]. Matthew of Paris records in 1246 that Pierre de Savoie brought foreign girls to England as brides for English nobles, which was widely criticised in England[392]. He invaded Dauphiné in 1250, forcing the Seigneur de la Tour du Pin to become his vassal. An arbitral judgment dated 16 Feb 1254 settled a dispute between "Conte Amedeo di Savoia…Tomaso suo fratello, il Conte Bonifacio suo figlio pupillo, e Pietro di Savoia Zio di questo" under which the last-named claimed the fifth part of assets which belonged to "Conte Tomaso suo Padre, Aymone, e Guglielmo suoi fratelli, della di Lui Madre, e di di due Sorelle morte ab intestato", under which Chillon, Conthey, Saillon and lands in Chablais and Valais were awarded to Pierre[393]. The testament of "Petri de Sabaudia", dated 8 Jun 1255 at London, names "Beatrix filia sua…Eleonora Angliæ regina…Philippum electrum Lugdunensem fratrem suum, Agneti…Fuciniacensi uxori suæ", and names Henry III King of England as his executor[394]. Back in England, he at first supported the barons in their dispute with King Henry, but changed sides and reconciled the king with his son in 1260, helping to induce Henry to disregard the Provisions of Oxford in 1261. He was obliged to leave England in 1262 due to the growing hostility towards foreigners, his English lands were confiscated but later restored to him by the king[395]. He succeeded his nephew in 1263 as PIERRE II "le Petit-Charlemagne" Comte de Savoie. His great-nephew, Richard Earl of Cornwall, confirmed Comte Pierre as Imperial Vicar in Italy after his installation as King of the Romans in 1263[396]. The testament of "Beatricis relictæ Raimundi Berengarii comitis Provinciæ", dated 14 Jan 1264, confirms her previous testaments appointing "…fratrum suorum Bonifacii archiepiscopi Cantuar. et Petri comitis Sabaudiæ" as her heirs[397]. Comte Pierre campaigned against the Bishop of Sion in 1265/66, and against Rudolf I Graf von Habsburg in 1265/67. Comte Pierre increased the family's domains considerably through conquests in western Switzerland, mainly at the expense of the Comte de Genève. He also increased his authority over many local seigneuries by appointing local châtelains and baillis who reported directly to him[398]. The testament of "Conte Pietro di Savoia", dated Sep 1264, chose his burial "in abbatial S. Mauricii Agaunensi" if he died at sea or "in ecclesia Londinensi" if he died in England, appointed "filiam suam Beatricem uxorem Guigonis Dalphini" as his heir, named "neptem suam Alienoram Angliæ reginam…Philippo electo Lugdun. fratri suo…filius quondam Thomæ de Sabaudia alterius fratris sui…major natu aliorum filiorum dicti Thomæ…Agneti conjugi suæ", and appointed "Philippi elect. Lugdun. fratris sui, Soffredi de Amaysino" as his executors[399]. Under another testament dated 7 May 1268, "Petrus comes Sabaudia" chose burial "in Alta Comba", appointed "filiam nostrum B. Dalphinam de Vienneisio" as his heir, granted bequests to "nepotibus nostris filiis Dom. Thome de Sabaudie…fratres nostri…domine nostre Alienore Regine Anglie…comitatum Richemundensem…in comitatu…Sabaudie…fratrem nostrum Philippum de Sabaudia comitem Burgundie…uxori nostre Agneti domine Fucigniaci…domine Margarete comitisse de Quiburgo…sorori nostre…B. filiam Amedei comitis…fratris nostri quondam…" as well as numerous bequests to religious institutions[400]. Under a codicil to his testament dated 14 May 1268, "Petrus comes Sabaudia" dated 7 May 1268 appointed "fratri nostro Philippo de Sabaudia comiti Burgundie…[et] filiam nostrum B. Dalphinam de Vienneisio" as his heirs, and named "comitis Foren. et Dni de Turre et Dni de Jez" as his fief-holders[401]. m (Betrothed Feb 1234, after 25 Jun 1236) AGNES de Faucigny, daughter and heiress of AYMON [II] Seigneur de Faucigny & his first wife Béatrix de Bourgogne[-Comté] (-11 Aug 1268, bur Faucigny, Abbaye de Contamine). The testament of "Aymo dominus Fuciniaci" is dated Feb 1234, appoints "Agnetem filiam suam", betrothed to "Petro de Sabaudia filio condam Thome Comit. Sabaud.", as his heir in default of male heirs, and reserves the dowry of "alterius filiarum suarum Beatricis"[402]. She succeeded her father in 1253 as Dame de Faucigny. The testament of "Petri de Sabaudia", dated 8 Jun 1255 at London, names "Beatrix filia sua…Eleonora Angliæ regina…Philippum electrum Lugdunensem fratrem suum, Agneti…Fuciniacensi uxori suæ", and names Henry III King of England as his executor[403]. The testament of "Agnetis dominæ Fuciniaci" dated 17 Oct 1262 appoints "Petrum de Sabaudia maritum suum…et Beatricem filiam suam uxorem Guigonis Dalphini Viennensis" as her heirs[404]. A second testament of "Agnetis dominæ Fuciniaci conjugis Petri de Sabaudia" dated 16 Nov 1262 elects her burial "in ecclesia Contaminæ", and appoints "Beatricem filiam suam uxorem Guigonis Dalphini, Vienn. et Albon. comitis" as her heir in one third of her property and her husband as heir in the other two thirds[405].

The marriage contract of "Guigoni Dalphino comiti Viennensi et Albonensi" and "Aymo dominus Fuciniaci…Beatricem filiam Agnetis filiæ suæ ex Petro de Sabaudie" is dated 4 Dec 1241[410]. The testament of "Petri de Sabaudia", dated 8 Jun 1255 at London, names "Beatrix filia sua…Eleonora Angliæ regina…Philippum electrum Lugdunensem fratrem suum, Agneti…Fuciniacensi uxori suæ", and names Henry III King of England as his executor[411]. The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus records the marriage of "Guigonem quartum" and "Beatricem, Petri comitis Sabaudiæ filiam"[412]. The contract of marriage between "Guigone Delfino di Vienna e d'Albona" and "Beatrice figlia di Pietro di Savoia" is dated 4 Dec 1241[413]. The marriage between "Vienna e Beatrice figlia di Pietro di Savoia" was confirmed as valid despite a prior verbal agreement between "detto Delfino e Cecilia di Beaux figlia del Conte Barallo di Beaux, ed indi Moglie d'Amedeo quarto Conte di Savoia", by judgment dated 10 Mar 1261[414]. The testament of "Agnetis dominæ Fuciniaci" dated 17 Oct 1262 appoints "Petrum de Sabaudia maritum suum…et Beatricem filiam suam uxorem Guigonis Dalphini Viennensis" as her heirs[415]. A second testament of "Agnetis dominæ Fuciniaci conjugis Petri de Sabaudia" dated 16 Nov 1262 elects her burial "in ecclesia Contaminæ", and appoints "Beatricem filiam suam uxorem Guigonis Dalphini, Vienn. et Albon. comitis" as her heir in one third of her property and her husband as heir in the other two thirds[416]. The testament of "Conte Pietro di Savoia", dated Sep 1264, appointed "filiam suam Beatricem uxorem Guigonis Dalphini" as his heir[417]. The testament of "Guigo Dalphinus, Vienn. et Albonis comitis", dated 27 Jun 1267, appointed "Johannem filium meum" as his heir, and made bequests to "Annam et Catharinam filias meas…Beatrix uxor mea"[418]. Under another testament dated 7 May 1268, "Petrus comes Sabaudia" appointed "filiam nostrum B. Dalphinam de Vienneisio" as his heir[419]. She succeeded her mother in 1268 as Dame de Faucigny, the territory strengthening considerably the power of the Dauphiné de Viennois. The testament of "Agnetis dominæ Fuciniaci", dated 9 Aug 1268, appointed "Beatricem comitissam Viennensem et Albonensem filiam suam" as her heir[420]. Regent in Dauphiné during the minority of her son 1269-1273. The marriage contract of "Beatrix Dalphina Viennensis domina de Fulciniaco filia quondam Dni Petri comitis Sabaudie" and "domino Gastoni vicecomiti Bearnensi" is dated 2 Apr 1273[421]. Her second marriage is confirmed by the agreement dated 15 Dec 1284 under which "Gastone Visconte di Bearn Signore di Montricher e Castelvecchio" and "Beatrice figlia del Conte Pietro di Savoia Dama di Faussign sua Consorte" reached agreement with "Umberto Signore di Thoire ed Anna Delfina sua Consorte" concering Comte Gaston's claim to the county of Vienne[422]. "Beatrice figlia di Pietro Conte di Savoia Dama di Faussign" transferred her husband's property to "Gioanni figlio d'Umberto Signore della Torre e di Cologny" by charter dated Sep 1282[423]. She transferred her lands between Seyssel and Freiburg to her cousin Amedée V Comte de Savoie 29 Apr 1294, and the barony of Faucigny 15 Sep 1296 to her son-in-law Humbert de La Tour, for the benefit of one of his sons, reserving the usufruct to herself[424]. A powerful force in the region, she claimed Savoy for her grandson Hugues. Allying herself with the Seigneur de Gex, the Comte de Genève and the Bishops of Lausanne and Geneva, she triggered conflicts within the family which were to last many generations[425]. “Béatrix dame de Faucigny” issued a charter dated 11 May 1307 in favour of “Guigues Allemand son neveu”, confirmed 29 Apr 1309[426]. The precise relationship between the donor and Guigues Alamandi has not been traced. m firstly (Betrothed 4 Dec 1241, [before 22 Apr 1253]) GUIGUES Dauphin de Viennois Comte d'Albon, son of ANDRE Comte d´Albon [Bourgogne-Capet] & his third wife Beatrice di Monferrato ([1225]-[Aug/Nov] 1269, bur Chartreuse Abbaye de Prémol). m secondly (contract 2 Apr 1273) as his second wife, GASTON VII Vicomte de Béarn, son of GUILLEN de Moncada Vicomte de Béarn & his wife Gersende de Provence [Aragon-Barcelona] (1225-26 Apr 1290).

7. BEATRIX de Savoie ([1205]-Dec 1266 or 4 Jan 1267). Matthew of Paris names her as daughter of "comitis Sabaldiæ Thomæ iam mortui, sororem comitis Sabaldiæ adhuc viventis Amidei", when he records the marriage of her daughter to Henry III King of England[427]. It is improbable that she was born much later than 1205 as she gave birth to her first child in 1221. The contract of marriage between "Thomas…comes Sabaldie et marchio in Ytalia…filia sua" and "Raimundi Berengarii…comitis Provinciæ et Forcalquerii" is dated 5 Jun 1219, and names "A. et V. filii Thomæ comitis et A. cometissa uxor eius" as guarantors[428]. She transformed the court at Aix into one of the most celebrated in Europe. After quarrelling with her son-in-law Charles Comte d'Anjou over the usufruct of the county of Provence she retired to Echelles in Savoy[429]. The marriage of her daughter Eléonore with Henry III King of England in 1236 signalled the establishment of close ties between the English court and the house of Savoy, the foreign immigrants becoming increasingly unpopular in England and contributing to the difficulties experienced by the king with his barons. The testament of "Beatricis relictæ Raimundi Berengarii comitis Provinciæ", dated 14 Jan 1264, confirms her previous testaments appointing "Reginarum filiarum suarum Margarethæ Franciæ et Alienoræ Angliæ, fratrum suorum Bonifacii archiepiscopi Cantuar. et Petri comitis Sabaudiæ" as her heirs, chooses burial "in hospitali Scalarum", and adds bequests to "Philippo electo Lugdun. fratri suo altero…Agneti comitissæ Sabaudiæ dominiæ Fuciniaci, Cæciliæ relictæ Amedei Sabaudiæ comitis, Beatrici relictæ Thomæ de Sabaudia comitis...Contissoni…Eleonoræ aliæ filiæ Thomæ comitis…Contissoni dominæ Medullionis nepti suæ…Margarithæ matri marchionis Montisferrati nepti suæ, Rodulpho archiepiscopo Tarantas, A. episcopo de Dyone consanguineo testatricis, Petro episcopo Hereford…filiabus Rodolphi et Henrici de Gebennis, et filiæ domini de Camera" as well as numerous bequests to religious institutions, orders "Contissona filia Amedei comitis…Eleonoræ filiæ Thomæ fratris sui" to fulfil religious bequests, and appoints "Johannem archiepiscopum Viennensem et Rodulphum Tarantasiensem, Philippum electum Lugdun. fratrem suum, episcopum Gratianopolitanum, Humbertum abbatem Altacumbæ et Stephanum archidiaconum Cantaruensium" as her executors[430]. A second testament of "Beatrix relicta…Dom. Reymundi Berengarii comitis provinciæ", dated 22 Feb 1264, chooses burial "in ecclesia Hospitalis S. Joannis Hierosolymitani", adds bequests to "Thomam Amedeum et Ludovicum filios quondam Dom. Thome fratris mei…Alienore filie predicti comitis Thome…filie Contissone de Medullione…filie domini de Camera…Beringarie filie Dom. Benedicti de Castellione…Beatrice Andegavie comitisse"[431]. The testament of "Bonifacius archiepiscopus Cantuarensis", dated 11 Oct 1264, made bequests to "sorori suæ comitissæ Provinciæ…sorori suæ alteræ comitissæ de Quiborc…"[432]. A second necrology of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne records the death "II Non Jan" of "vidua dna comitssa Provincie"[433]. m (Betrothed 5 Jun 1219, Dec 1220) RAIMOND BERENGER IV Comte de Provence, son of ALPHONSE II Comte de Provence [Aragon-Barcelona] & his wife Gersende de Sabran Ctss de Forcalquier ([1198]-19 Aug 1245, bur Aix-en-Provence, église de Saint Jean de Jérusalem).

8. BONIFACE de Savoie (Château de Sainte-Hélène du Lac [1206]-Château de Sainte-Hélène-des-Millières 14 Jul 1270, bur Abbaye de Hautecombe). A charter dated 1224 records an agreement between "Thomæ com. Sabaud " and the bishop of Sion, witnessed by "ipse Thomas comes, Amedeus primogenitus illius, Comitissa uxor Thomæ, eorum quatuor filii clerici…Willelmus, Thomas, Petrus et Bonifacius"[434]. Europäische Stammtafeln[435] shows two sons of Comte Thomas I both named Boniface, the second being "prior at Nantua". As in the case of his other supposed brothers with duplicate names, it is likely that the references are to the same person. The absence of a second Boniface in the 26 Jun 1248 testament of his supposed brother Thomas de Savoie[436] provides a good indication that this is correct. In addition, the 1224 agreement between his supposed father and the Bishop of Sion refers to "four clerical sons", whereas the second Boniface would have been a fifth. "M. comitissa Sabaudie et marchisa in Ytalia et…Amedeus, Aymo, W. electus Valentinus, Thomas, Petrus, Bonifacius et Philippus filii Thome Comitis Sab. et marchionis in Ytalia" confirmed donations to Hautecombe abbey by charter dated 26 Feb 1231[437]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records that "unus filiorum comitis Thome de Sabaudia" was elected bishop of Belley in 1232 after the death of Bishop Bernard but does not name him[438]. Administrator of the bishopric of Belley 1234. Along with his brothers, he established himself at the English court soon after the marriage in 1236 of his niece Eléonore de Provence to Henry III King of England. "Amedeus comes Sabaudie et in Italie marchio…cum…genetrice sua et fratribus suis B. Bellicensi Electo et Philippo Metensi Primicerio" granted "villam S. Mauritii de Chablaisio" {Saint-Maurice de Chablais} to "soror illorum Margareta comitissa de Kiborch" by charter dated 24 Feb 1240[439]. He was confirmed as Archbishop of Canterbury, Primate of England, in 1243, consecrated in 1244 at Lyon by the Pope[440]. Bishop of Durham. The testament of "Beatricis relictæ Raimundi Berengarii comitis Provinciæ", dated 14 Jan 1264, confirms her previous testaments appointing "…fratrum suorum Bonifacii archiepiscopi Cantuar. et Petri comitis Sabaudiæ" as her heirs[441]. The testament of "Bonifacius archiepiscopus Cantuarensis", dated 11 Oct 1264, chose burial "infra ecclesiam Christi Cantuar" if he died in England and "Pontiniacum" if he died elsewhere overseas and if he died "circa Montem Cinisium…apud Altam Combam", made bequests to "sorori suæ comitissæ Provinciæ…sorori suæ alteræ comitissæ de Quiborc…fratri suo Dom. P. comiti Sabaudiæ…fratri suo Philippo elect. Lugdun…filios fratris testatoris Thomæ comitis" as well as to numerous religious foundations [442]. The Continuator of Florence of Worcester records the death "XV Kal Aug apud Baleys" of "Bonifacius Cantuarensis archiepiscopus"[443]. The necrology of La Cour-Dieu records the death “XV Kal Aug” of “Bonifacius Cantuarensis archiepiscopus, monachus”[444]. He was beatified in 1838.

9. PHILIPPE de Savoie (Aiguebelle [1207]-Château de Roussillon, Bugey 16 Aug 1285, bur Abbaye de Hautecombe). His parentage is established, inter alia, by the 1264 testament of his brother Boniface[445]. Archdeacon of Metz 1229. "M. comitissa Sabaudie et marchisa in Ytalia et…Amedeus, Aymo, W. electus Valentinus, Thomas, Petrus, Bonifacius et Philippus filii Thome Comitis Sab. et marchionis in Ytalia" confirmed donations to Hautecombe abbey by charter dated 26 Feb 1231[446]. The second testament of "Amedeus comes Sabaudie", dated 19 Jul 1238, repeats the nomination of "Thomam fratrem suum" as his heir, substituting "Philippum, huic autem Petrum fratres suos" if Thomas died without male heirs[447], although it is unclear why the youngest brother Philippe should have been given precedence over Pierre in this document. He was elected Bishop of Lausanne in 1239. "Amedeus comes Sabaudie et in Italie marchio…cum…genetrice sua et fratribus suis B. Bellicensi Electo et Philippo Metensi Primicerio" granted "villam S.

He faced the continual opposition of his niece Beatrix Dauphine de Viennois, daughter of his predecessor, who claimed Savoy for her grandson Hugues de la Tour. Comte Philippe was able to reaffirm his authority over Turin by defeating Guglielmo VII Marchese di Monferrato[452]. Pope Gregory X awarded him the title Gonfalionere of the Holy Church. The testament of "Filippo Vescovo de Lione" dated 26 Jul 1256 names "Pietro di Savoia e Beatrice Contessa di Provenza, di Lui fratello e Sorella…Conte Tommaso di Lui fratello" and chooses to be buried "nella Chiesa de Haute Combe"[453].

"Hugo dux Burgundie" requested the abbot of Cluny to recognise the rights of “Ph Sabaudie et Burgundie comiti et A. comitisse uxori sue” in “comitatu Burgundie…cessionis nobis facte a domina B, comitissa Orlemunde, sorore dicte A. comitissa”, by charter dated Apr 1270[456]. The testament of "Alis de Sauoye et de Bergoigne, Contesse Palatine" dated Nov 1278, made with the consent of "nostre…Signor et Mary Philippe de Sauoye et de Bergoigne Comte Palatin", appoints "nostre…fils ainsnés Messire Othes de Bourgoigone Sires de Salins soit Cuens de Bergoigne" as her heir in the county, makes bequests to "nostre…fil Renalt" and names "nostre…fils Iohans"[457].

10. daughter (-before 1254). The existence of two daughters who died young is confirmed by the arbitral judgment dated 16 Feb 1254 which settled a dispute between "Conte Amedeo di Savoia…Tomaso suo fratello, il Conte Bonifacio suo figlio pupillo, e Pietro di Savoia Zio di questo" under which the last-named claimed the fifth part of assets which belonged to "Conte Tomaso suo Padre, Aymone, e Guglielmo suoi fratelli, della di Lui Madre, e di due Sorelle morte ab intestato"[458].

11. daughter (-before 1254). The existence of two daughters who died young is confirmed by the arbitral judgment dated 16 Feb 1254 which settled a dispute between "Conte Amedeo di Savoia…Tomaso suo fratello, il Conte Bonifacio suo figlio pupillo, e Pietro di Savoia Zio di questo" under which the last-named claimed the fifth part of assets which belonged to "Conte Tomaso suo Padre, Aymone, e Guglielmo suoi fratelli, della di Lui Madre, e di due Sorelle morte ab intestato"[459].

12. [ALIX de Savoie (-1277, bur Abbaye de Hautecombe). Guichenon names Alix as daughter of Comte Thomas I and his wife, stating that she was abbess of Saint-Pierre, Lyon in 1250, referring to "Titre de l´abbaye de Saint-Pierre de Lyon" with no precise citation reference[460]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. She is not mentioned in the 11 Oct 1264 testament of her supposed brother Boniface Archbishop of Canterbury (which refers to his "sister the Ctss of Provence" and his "other sister the Ctss of Quibourc")[461], although this is not conclusive to dismiss her affiliation. One possibility is that Alix was the illegitimate daughter of Comte Thomas I.]

13. [AGATHE de Savoie (-after 1279). Guichenon names Agathe as daughter of Comte Thomas I and his wife, stating that she was nun and later abbess of Saint-Pierre, Lyon in 1279, referring to "Titre de l´abbaye de Saint-Pierre de Lyon" with no precise citation reference[462]. She is not mentioned in the 11 Oct 1264 testament of her supposed brother Boniface Archbishop of Canterbury (which refers to his "sister the Ctss of Provence" and his "other sister the Ctss of Quibourc")[463], although this is not conclusive to dismiss her affiliation. One possibility is that Agathe was the illegitimate daughter of Comte Thomas I.]

14. MARGUERITE de Savoie ([1212]-1/2 Sep 1270 or 1273[464]). The contract of marriage between "Thomas comes Savoyæ…filiam suam Margaritham…infra nubiles annos" and "comiti Hartmanno filio comitis Ulrici de Kyburg" is dated 1 Jun 1218, stating that "Dni Bertholdi comitis de Novocastro et Dni Wilhelmi de Stavayé" acted as guarantors, and with the consent of "Ulricus comes de Kyburg et comes Garnerius frater eius et comitissa uxor comitis de Kyburg"[465]. Her marriage date is confirmed by the charter dated 1230 under which her husband "H. comes de Kiburch" confirmed donations "propter nuptias uxori sue filie comitis Sabaudie", with the consent of "fratris sui Ul. Constantiensis canonici et H. filii fratris sui beate memorie Wer. quondam comitis de Kiburch"[466]. The Chronicon Colmarense records that "comes…[Kiburc]" married "filiam comitis de Sabaudia"[467]. "Conte Amedeo di Savoia Marchese in Italia" donated "Castello di Monteuz" to "Contessa di Kibourg Margarita di Savoia sua Sorella" by charter dated "Festa di S. Gallo 1239"[468]. "Amedeus comes Sabaudie et marchio Italie" granted "castrum…Monteys" {Montheys} to "sorori mee Margarete comitisse de Kiborch" by charter dated 16 Oct 1239[469]. "Amedeus comes Sabaudie et in Italie marchio…cum…genetrice sua et fratribus suis B. Bellicensi Electo et Philippo Metensi Primicerio" granted "villam S. Mauritii de Chablaisio" {Saint-Maurice de Chablais} to "soror illorum Margareta comitissa de Kiborch" by charter dated 24 Feb 1240[470]. "H. comes de Kyburch" granted "castra Windegge, Oltingen…advocatiam et predium in Shennis, Wizennanc et Kemanatvn" to "uxori mee" by way of dower, with the consent of "fratruelis mei H", by charter dated 28 May 1241[471]. The same collection includes several other charters relating to this grant, dated between 9 Jul 1241 and 1243[472]. The testament of "Bonifacius archiepiscopus Cantuarensis", dated 11 Oct 1264, made bequests to "sorori suæ comitissæ Provinciæ…sorori suæ alteræ comitissæ de Quiborc…"[473]. Under another testament dated 7 May 1268, "Petrus comes Sabaudia" granted bequests to "…domine Margarete comitisse de Quiburgo…sorori nostre…"[474]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[475], Marguerite de Savoie married secondly Eberhard von Habsburg-Laufenburg, son of Rudolf III Graf von Habsburg-Laufenburg & his wife Gertrud von Regensberg. Apart from the unlikelihood of Graf Eberhard (who at the time must have been at least 40 years old) marrying as his first wife a lady over 50 years old, his marriage to Anna heiress of Kyburg is recorded[476] as having taken place in [30 Oct/12 Dec] 1271 when Marguerite was still alive. In addition, the Chronicle of Hautecombe refers to Marguerite as "Margarita comitissa de Quiborch in Alemania" when she died, with no mention of Habsburg-Laufenburg. m (contract Mouden 1 Jun 1218, 1230) HARTMANN von Kiburg, son of ULRICH Graf von Kyburg & his wife Anna von Zähringen [Baden] (-27 Nov 1264, bur Wettingen). He succeeded in 1227 as HARTMANN III joint Graf von Kiburg.

Comte Thomas I had [four] illegitimate children by unknown mistresses:

15. BERAUD (-after Jun 1263). Guichenon states that Berold and Benoît were illegitimate sons of Comte Thomas I, adding that they swore homage to Pierre I Comte de Savoie at Aiguebelle in Jun 1263 (without citing the corresponding primary source)[477].

16. BENOÎT (-after Jun 1263). Guichenon states that Berold and Benoît were illegitimate sons of Comte Thomas I, adding that they swore homage to Pierre I Comte de Savoie at Aiguebelle in Jun 1263 (without citing the corresponding primary source)[478].

17. [AMEDEE (-19 Jan 1256). Europäische Stammtafeln[479] shows two sons of Comte Thomas I both named Amedée, the second one being a monk at Grenoble and Bishop of Maurienne in 1220. It is unlikely that this second Amedée was the legitimate son of Comte Thomas. He is not referred to in the 26 Jun 1248 testament of his supposed brother Thomas de Savoie[480], unlike all the other known brothers whether deceased or alive. In addition, the 1224 agreement between his supposed father and the Bishop of Sion refers to "four clerical sons", whereas Amedée would have been a fifth. A possible explanation is that this second Amedée was an illegitimate son of Comte Thomas I. However, this hypothesis appears disproved by the charter dated 12 Jan 1270 which records donations by Pierre Bishop of Maurienne to found anniversaries for his predecessors "…dominus Amedeus Maurianensis episcopus frater quondam domini Villelmi de Miribello"[481], assuming that the latter refers to the bishop who died in 1256. The Pingonio Chronicon records the death "XIV Kal Feb" in 1256 of "Amedeus episcopus Maurianensis"[482].]

18. [AVOIE [Marguerite] de Savoie (-shortly before 14 May 1292). Matthew of Paris reports that "Baldewinus de Ripariis, domina regina procurante, quondam alienigenam ducit in uxorem, Sabaudiensem, ipsius reginæ consanguineam"[483]. According to L'Art de vérifier les Dates[484], Avoie was the daughter of Thomas I Comte de Savoie. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. It is argued in the Complete Peerage[485] that the wife of Baldwin de Reviers, 7th Earl of Devon, could not have been the daughter of Comte Thomas because she was referred to as 'Margaret' in other sources, Comte Thomas I's daughter of that name being the wife of Hartmann III Graf von Kyburg at the time of the Earl's marriage. The Complete Peerage[486] also refers to a writ on the Patent Roll of 52 Henry III "from which it appears that the king had given to the daughter [unnamed] of Thomas, sometime Count of Savoy, 500 marks on her marriage", this presumably being the widowed Countess of Devon on the occasion of her second marriage. The date of the writ matches the supposed second marriage of Avoie de Savoie. The Complete Peerage[487] assumes that the Count Thomas in question must have been Thomas II. However, the latter's second marriage (from which all his known surviving legitimate children were born) took place in 1251. This would exclude the Earl and Countess of Devon having a son "John who died an infant"[488]. The possibilities therefore seem to be (a) that the Countess of Devon was the illegitimate daughter of either Comte Thomas I or of Comte Thomas II; (b) that she was the legitimate daughter of Comte Thomas I, called either Avoie or Marguerite despite his having another legitimate daughter named Marguerite; or (c) that 'Thomas' in the Patent Roll writ was an error for another Count of Savoy (although it is unclear who this might have been as all other possibilities appear to be excluded). It is recognised that Avoie could not have been born much later than 1220 if she was the legitimate daughter of Comte Thomas I, and therefore would have been at least 17 years older than her first husband the Earl of Devon. Avoie is not mentioned in the 11 Oct 1264 will of her supposed brother Boniface Archbishop of Canterbury which made bequests to "sorori suæ comitissæ Provinciæ…sorori suæ alteræ comitissæ de Quiborc…"[489]. Although this omission is not conclusive as the testator's other presumed two sisters, abbesses Alix and Agathe, were not mentioned either, it is somewhat surprising that he would not have mentioned a legitimate sister who was then living in England, if he had one. The most likely probability is that Avoie was illegitimate. For presentation purposes in this document she is shown as the illegitimate daughter of Comte Thomas I, but it is recognised that Comte Thomas II is an alternative possible father. m firstly (1257) BALDWIN de Reviers Earl of Devon, son of BALDWIN de Reviers Earl of Devon & his wife Amice de Clare (1 Jan 1236-in France 1262 before 13 Sep, bur Breamore Priory, Hampshire). [490]m secondly (1269) as his second wife, Sir ROBERT Aguillon of Watton, Hertfordshire (-12 Feb 1286). Some details about the earlier history of the Aguillon family near Chartres are set out by the editor of the cartulary of Notre-Dame de Josaphat[491].]

THOMAS de Savoie, son of THOMAS I Comte de Savoie & his wife Marguerite [Beatrix] de Genève (Château de Montmélian [1202]-Chambéry 7 Feb 1259, bur Aosta Cathedral). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records that "tertius [filiorum comitis Thome de Sabaudia] Thomas" was "cassatus de episcopatu Laurensi et archiepiscopatu Lugdunensis"[492]. A charter dated 1224 records an agreement between "Thomæ com. Sabaud " and the bishop of Sion, witnessed by "ipse Thomas comes, Amedeus primogenitus illius, Comitissa uxor Thomæ, eorum quatuor filii clerici…Willelmus, Thomas, Petrus et Bonifacius"[493]. Canon at Lausanne 1224/27. Provost of Valence 1227. Canon at Lyon cathedral. "M. comitissa Sabaudie et marchisa in Ytalia et…Amedeus, Aymo, W. electus Valentinus, Thomas, Petrus, Bonifacius et Philippus filii Thome Comitis Sab. et marchionis in Ytalia" confirmed donations to Hautecombe abbey by charter dated 26 Feb 1231[494]. He resigned his ecclesiastical appointments in 1233. The testament of "Amedei comitis Sab. et marchionis Italie", dated 23 Sep 1235, appoints "Thomam fratrem suum" as his heir "in comitatu et marchionatu" in default of male children[495]. This document by-passes Thomas´s older brother Aimon. He succeeded as THOMAS Count of Flanders and Hainaut in 1237, by right of his first wife, but returned to Savoy after she died[496]. The second testament of "Amedeus comes Sabaudie", dated 19 Jul 1238, repeats the nomination of "Thomam fratrem suum" as his heir, substituting "Philippum, huic autem Petrum fratres suos" if Thomas died without male heirs[497]. An indication of the precarious financial position of the counts of Savoy is provided by a third testament, dated 2 Nov 1240, made by Thomas´s son "Amadeus com Sab. et marchio in Italia" who repeated the nomination of "Thomæ, Flandriæ comiti, fratri suo" as his heir to "totius comitatus sui Sabaudiæ marchionatus Italiæ et ducatus Chablasii" if he died without male children, on condition that he satisfied all the debts of "Thomæ comitis patris et Humberti fratris ipsorum"[498]. This charter suggests that financial considerations may have played their part in Thomas´s appointment as heir, over his older brother Aymon, in light of Thomas´s profitable marriage with the Ctss of Flanders. His brother appointed him Conte [Marchese] del Piemonte in 1247, reserving for himself the sovereignty over the territory. The testament of "Thomæ de Sabaudia comitis" is dated 26 Jun 1248 and appoints as his heirs successively, in default of having his own children, "Petrum, Philippum electem Lugdunensem, Beatricem Provinciæ comitissam sororem suam…filium masculum Amadei comitis Sabaudiæ…Bonifacium Archiepiscopum Cantuariæ…Eduardum primogenitum Henrici Angliæ regis ex Eleonora regina, ipsius Thomæ nepte genitum"[499]. Emperor Friedrich II granted Moncalieri, Castelvecchio and other properties to Thomas in Nov 1248 and also appointed him imperial vicar in Italy[500]. He succeeded his brother in 1253 as THOMAS II Comte de Savoie, as regent or co-ruler with his nephew. "Edmondo Re di Sicilia figlio d'Enrico Re d'Inghilterra" invested "Conte Tomaso di Savoia di Lui Zio" as Principe di Capua by order dated "nella fiesta di S. Dionigio 1254"[501]. This must have been a short-lived and purely honorary appointment as Edmund's appointment as king of Sicily was not confirmed. Matthew of Paris reports that Comte Thomas died by poison[502]. The testament of "Thomas de Sabaudia comes" dated 26 Jun 1248 names "fratribus meis Philippo Lugdunensi Electo et Petro de Sabaudia…sororem meam Beatricem comitissam Provinciæ…filio masculo…fratris mei Amedei comitis Sabaudiæ…fratri meo Bonifacio Archiepiscopo Cantuariensi…Edmundum filium…domini Henrici regis Angliæ et neptis meæ Alienoræ Reginæ Angliæ" as his heirs and remembers the souls of "bonæ memoriæ Thoma quondam comite Sabaudiæ patre meo…fratribus meis Umberto…Aymone et Vuillermo quondam electo Valentinensi"[503].

m firstly (2 Apr 1237, without Papal dispensation despite consanguinity within the prohibited degrees[504]) as her second husband, JEANNE Ctss of Flanders and Hainaut, widow of Infante dom FERNANDO de Portugal, daughter of BAUDOUIN IX Count of Flanders [BAUDOUIN VI Comte de Hainaut], Emperor of Constantinople & his wife Marie de Champagne (Valenciennes 1200-Marquette near Lille 5 Dec 1244, bur Marquette). The Genealogica Comitum Flandriæ Bertiniana names (in order) "Iohannam et Margaretam" as the two daughters of "Balduinus"[505]. The Genealogica Comitum Flandriæ Bertiniana names "Thome fratri comitis Sabaudie" as husband of "Iohanna", whom she married after the death of "Ferrandus"[506]. The Annales Blandinienses record the marriage in 1237 of "Iohannam comitissam Flandrie" with "Thomas avunculus reginarum Francie et Anglie"[507]. The Annales Blandinienses record the death in 1244 of "Iohanna comitissa" and her burial at "Market"[508]. The Necrologio Sanctæ Waldetrudis records the death "Non Dec" of "Iohanne comitisse Flandrie et Hanoie"[509].

m secondly (1251 after Jun) BEATRICE Fiesco, daughter of TEODORO Fiesco Conte di Lavagna & his wife Simona --- (-8/9 Jul 1283). Matthew of Paris dates this marriage to 1251 and specifies that the bride (unnamed) was the niece of Pope Innocent IV who arranged her marriage with Thomas de Savoie, ex-Count of Flanders[510]. The marriage was arranged as part of the process of reconciliation between Thomas's brother, Amedée IV Comte de Savoie, and Pope Innocent IV following the death of Emperor Friedrich II in 1250[511]. Her dowry consisted of the castles of Rivoli and Viana with Vallesuessia[512]. A charter dated 5 Jun 1254 confirms that "Beatrix Thomæ comitis uxor" appointed "abbatiam S. Juste Secusiæ" as her universal heir[513]. The testament of "Beatricis relictæ Raimundi Berengarii comitis Provinciæ", dated 14 Jan 1264, adds bequests to "…Beatrici relictæ Thomæ de Sabaudia comitis..."[514]. The testament of "Adalasiæ relictæ Alberti junioris domini de Turre Pini et de Coloniaco", dated May 1273, bequeathed property to "…domine Comitisse del Borget consanguinee mee…Thome et Amedeo de Sabaudia filiis eiusdem…"[515]. The relationship between Beatrice and the testator has not yet been traced. The testament of "Thomas de Sabaudia primogenitus…domini Thomæ de Sabaudia comitis" dated 14 May 1282 makes bequests to "…matri meæ dominæ B. comitissæ"[516].

Comte Thomas II & his second wife had [six] children:

1. THOMAS de Savoie ([1252]-San Ginesio 16 May 1282). His parentage is confirmed by his own testament dated 14 May 1282 in which he is named "Tommaso Primogenito del Conte Tomaso di Savoia"[517]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[518], Thomas was born in Aug 1248 but this is clearly incorrect considering the date of his parents' marriage which, as noted above, was linked to the reconciliation of the Savoy family with Pope Innocent IV which followed the death of Emperor Friedrich II in 1250. Given the enmity between the Papal and imperial factions during the emperor's lifetime, it is unlikely that Thomas's parents indulged in a premarital relationship. He succeeded his father in 1259 as THOMAS III Comte de Maurienne, Conte [Marchese] del Piemonte.

- see below, Part C. PRINCES of ACHAIA, CONTI del Piemonte.

2. AMEDEE de Savoie ([1253]-Avignon 16 Oct 1323, bur Hautecombe). A second testament of "Beatrix relicta…Dom. Reymundi Berengarii comitis provinciæ", dated 22 Feb 1264, adds bequests to "Thomam Amedeum et Ludovicum filios quondam Dom. Thome fratris mei…Alienore filie predicti comitis Thome…"[519]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[520], Comte Amedée V was born at Bourget-du-Lac 4 Sep 1249 but for the same reasons as cited in relation to the birth of his older brother Thomas (see above), this date looks unlikely. He succeeded his uncle in 1285 as AMEDEE V "the Great" Comte de Savoie.

- see below.

3. LOUIS de Savoie ([1254]-[10 Jan 1302/27 Apr 1303], maybe 8 Jan 1303). A second testament of "Beatrix relicta…Dom. Reymundi Berengarii comitis provinciæ", dated 22 Feb 1264, adds bequests to "Thomam Amedeum et Ludovicum filios quondam Dom. Thome fratris mei…Alienore filie predicti comitis Thome…"[521]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[522], Comte Louis was born in Oct 1250 but, for the same reasons as cited in relation to the birth of his older brother Thomas (see above), this date looks unlikely. Baron de Vaud, Seigneur de Moudon, de Romont, de Rue, de Contrey, de Saillon, de Nyon et d'Aubon in 1286, accorded him by his brother.

- BARONS de VAUD.

4. [CONTESSON de Savoie (-after 14 Jan 1264). The testament of "Beatricis relictæ Raimundi Berengarii comitis Provinciæ", dated 14 Jan 1264, adds bequests to "…Contissoni…Eleonoræ aliæ filiæ Thomæ comitis…"[523]. A later passage in the testament orders "Contissona filia Amedei comitis…Eleonoræ filiæ Thomæ fratris sui" to fulfil religious bequests. It is not clear therefore whether there is an error in the earlier part of the transcription which omits a reference to Contesson being the daughter of Amedée IV Comte de Savoie instead of his brother Thomas. The second testament of "Beatrix relicta…Dom. Reymundi Berengarii comitis provinciæ", dated 22 Feb 1264, adds bequests to "Thomam Amedeum et Ludovicum filios quondam Dom. Thome fratris mei…Alienore filie predicti comitis Thome…"[524], which suggests that Thomas left only a single daughter Eléonore.]

5. ELEONORE de Savoie (-24 Aug 1296). The testament of "Beatricis relictæ Raimundi Berengarii comitis Provinciæ", dated 14 Jan 1264, adds bequests to "…Contissoni…Eleonoræ aliæ filiæ Thomæ comitis…" and orders "Contissona filia Amedei comitis…Eleonoræ filiæ Thomæ fratris sui" to fulfil religious bequests[525]. A second testament of "Beatrix relicta…Dom. Reymundi Berengarii comitis provinciæ", dated 22 Feb 1264, adds bequests to "Thomam Amedeum et Ludovicum filios quondam Dom. Thome fratris mei…Alienore filie predicti comitis Thome…"[526]. "Amadeo de Sabaudia…Helienora sorore eiusdem" renounced her rights over the county of Savoy in favour of "Thome et Amedei fratrum suorum", with the consent of "domine B. comitisse matris sue", by charter dated 25 May 1273[527]. The preceding charter was ratified by "Louis Seigneur de Beaujeu" her husband by charter dated 26 May 1273[528]. "Lodovico de la Forest Signore di Beaujeu" reached agreement with "Tomaso di Savoia" concerning the dowry payment of "Eleonora Sorella di questo e moglie del detto Ludovico" by contract dated Aug 1274[529]. A charter dated [1/28] Nov 1282 records an agreement between the monks of Cluny and "Ludovicum dominum Bellijoci", and names “domina Helienor uxor domini Bellijoci predicti”[530]. The Anniversary Book of Notre-Dame de Beaujeu records the death "IX Kal Sep" of "domina Elyenors de Sabaudia, domina Bellijoci" and her donation to the church[531]. m (1270) LOUIS de Forez, son of RENAUD Comte de Forez [Albon] & his wife Isabelle de Beaujeu (-23 Aug 1295). He succeeded in 1272 as Seigneur de Beaujeu et de Dombes.

6. ALIX de Savoie (-1 Aug 1277). The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.

AMEDEE de Savoie, son of THOMAS II Conte [Marchese] del Piemonte & his second wife Beatrice Fieschi (Bourget du Lac [1253]-Avignon 16 Oct 1323, bur Hautecombe). A second testament of "Beatrix relicta…Dom. Reymundi Berengarii comitis provinciæ", dated 22 Feb 1264, adds bequests to "Thomam Amedeum et Ludovicum filios quondam Dom. Thome fratris mei…Alienore filie predicti comitis Thome…"[532]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[533], Comte Amedée V was born at Bourget-du-Lac 4 Sep 1249 but for the same reasons as cited in relation to the birth of his older brother Thomas (see above), this date looks unlikely. The testament of "Adalasiæ relictæ Alberti junioris domini de Turre Pini et de Coloniaco", dated May 1273, bequeathed property to "…domine Comitisse del Borget consanguinee mee…Thome et Amedeo de Sabaudia filiis eiusdem…"[534]. He succeeded his uncle in 1285 as AMEDEE V "le Grand" Comte de Savoie, designated by the States-General as principal heir of his uncle, in place of his nephew Philippe who was senior in line but an infant. To calm the ambitions of this nephew, and of his own brother Louis, he ceded Turin and Pinerolo to the former and Vaud to the latter[535]. After negotiating with the Bishop of Geneva, he declared himself protector of Geneva 1 Oct 1285, challenging the authority of the Comte de Genève. He bought the château de Chambéry from Hugues de la Rochette in 1295 and established his main residence there, decorating it sumptuously with paintings by Giorgio d'Aquila[536], Hugonin Frenier and Jean de Grandson. After defeating the Dauphin de Viennois at Bellecombe, he obliged the Dauphin and the Comte de Genève to become his vassals under the Treaty of Annemasse[537]. He settled disputes in the Valais in 1301 with the Bishop of Sion. As a counterweight against continuing friction with the Habsburgs, he strengthened his alliance with France, receiving the Vicomté de Maulévrier in Normandy. However, following the French conquest of Lyon, Comte Amedée established closer relations with Emperor Heinrich VII [Luxembourg], who was married to the sister of Comte Amedée's second wife and who appointed him Imperial Vicar of Lombardy and Conte di Asti[538]. He established suzerainty over the territories of his brother and nephew. The testament of "Conte Amedeo di Savoia" dated 27 Sep 1307 appoints "Odorado suo figlio primogenito" as sole heir, and makes bequests to "Aymone suo Secundogenito…ed Eleonora, Margarita, ed Agnes sue figlie" as well as additional bequests if he has no male children by "Maria di Brabant, sua seconda Consorte" to his two (unnamed) daughters by his second wife, also naming "suo Primogenito…Bianca sua futura Sposa"[539]. A 14th century Chronicle of Geneva records the death "XVII Kal Nov…apud Avinionem" of "D. Amedeus comes Sabaudie" and his burial "Altecombe"[540].

m firstly (5 Jul 1272) SIBYLLE [Simone] de Bâgé Dame de Bâgé et de Bresse, daughter of GUY [II] Seigneur de Bâgé et de Bresse & his wife Dauphine de Saint-Bonnet (posthumously [5 Apr/20 Oct] 1255-28 Feb 1294). A charter dated 7 Jul 1272 records that "Alexander filius quondam domini Reynaudi domini quondam Baugiaci" appointed "dominus Philippus Sabuadiæ et Burgundiæ comes" as his heir, that "Reynaudus frater Alexandri" had died intestate, that "Sybillam filiam quondam domini Guidonis domini quondam Baugiaci fratris quondam dictorum Alexandri et Reynaudi" claimed the inheritance, and sets out the settlement of the dispute[541]. "Dauphine dame de Saint-Bonnet", on the marriage of "sa fille Sibille avec Amedée de Savoie seigneur de Bâgé", granted "le château de Miribel en Forez" to her daughter by charter dated May 1275[542]. "Dauphine dame de Saint-Bonnet le Château, femme de Pierre de la Roue chevalier" confirmed her donation of "le château de Miribel en Forez" to her daughter "Sibille femme d´Amedée de Savoie seigneur de Bâgé" by charter dated Mar 1276[543]. Dame de Miribel-en-Forez. The testament of "Sibilla comitissa Sabaudiæ, dominaque Baugiaci, uxor…domini Amedei comitis Sabaudiæ" dated 1294 grants bequests to "amitæ nostræ et religiosæ dominæ Sy. moniali Beatæ Mariæ de Lilio…patruum nostrum Alexandrum de Baugiaco…domino Hugone de Castellione filio domini de Castellione in Bazas canonico Lugdunensi fratri nostro…maritus noster dominus Amedeus comes Sabaudiæ…filiæ nostræ Elyonori, Guillermo comiti Altissiodorensi eius marito…filiæ nostræ Margaretæ…filiæ nostræ Agneti…filio nostro Aymoni…filium nostrum Eduardum…in pupillari ætate…illum quem gestamus in utero"[544].

Betrothed (1 Jan 1295 or before, contract broken before 28 Mar 1296) to ALIX de Viennois, daughter of HUMBERT de la Tour du Pin Dauphin de Viennois & his wife Anne Dauphine de Viennois (-Saint-Saturnin-du-Port 14 Nov 1309). "Beatrice figlia del Conte Pietro di Savoia Signore di Faussign" granted property to "Conte Amedeo di Savoia suo Cugino" as dowry for "Alisia figlia d'Umberto Delfino di Vienna futura Sposa di detto Conte Amedeo", in particular an expectation to "il Castello di Versoye" subject to the rights of "Guglielmo Signore di Gex e di Leona sua Madre", by charter dated 1 Jan 1295[545].

m secondly ([23 Oct 1297/1304]) MARIE de Brabant, daughter of JEAN I Duke of Brabant & his second wife Marguerite de Flandre ([1278/85] -after 2 Nov 1338, bur Brussels, Franciscan church). The Genealogia Ducum Brabantiæ Ampliata names (in order) "Mariam comitissam Sabaudie et Montium, et Margaretam [uxor] Henricus comes de Lusseleborch" as the two daughters of "Iohannes dux Lothoringie et Brabantie" & his second wife[546]. As Marie's second daughter gave birth to her first child in 1320, it is likely that Marie herself was born in the early part of the date range [1278/85] and that she married before 1300. "Maria di Brabant sua Sorella Moglie del detto Conte Amedeo" is named in a promise by "Gioanni Duca di Brabant" relating to the former's dowry, dated "il Luned avanti la divisione degli Apostoli 1304"[547]. The testament of "Conte Amedeo di Savoia" dated 27 Sep 1307 names "Maria di Brabant, sua seconda Consorte"[548].

Mistress (1): ---. The name of the mistress of Comte Amedée V is not known.

Comte Amedée V & his first wife had nine children:

1. BONNE de Savoie ([1275]-[before 1294]). The primary source which confirms her first marriage has not yet been identified. The marriage contract of "Ameys Cuens de Savoie, Marquis en Lombardie…une de nos filles" and "Hugonin de Bourgogne frere à comte de Bourgogne" is dated 1287[549]. It is possible that Bonne died before 1294 as she is not mentioned in the testament of her mother. The contract dated "a la Festa de' Santi Filippo e Giacomo 1303" between "Ugone di Borgonia" and "Conte Amedeo di Savoia" settled a dispute concerning the marriage contract between the former and the latter's (unnamed) daughter[550]. m firstly (1280) JEAN Dauphin de Viennois Comte d'Albon, son of GUIGUES Dauphin de Viennois Comte d'Albon [Bourgogne-Capet] & his wife Béatrix de Savoie (after 17 Jul 1264-Bonneville, Haute Savoie 24 Sep 1282, bur Faucigny, Chartreuse Monastery of Melans). m secondly (contract 1287) as his first wife, HUGUES de Bourgogne Seigneur de Maubusson, son of HUGUES de Bourgogne Seigneur de Salins, Comte Palatin de Bourgogne & his wife Alix von Andechs-Merano Ctss Palatine de Bourgogne (-after Jun 1312).

2. ELEONORE de Savoie ([1279]-1324). The "Act of emancipation" of "Eleonora di Savoia" aged 12 by "Conte Amedeo di Savoia suo Padre" is dated 25 Jan 1292[551]. If this is correct, it is unlikely that her first child was born in 1292, as shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[552]. "Eleonora figlia del Conte Amedeo di Savoia e della Contessa Sibilla Moglie di Guglielmo di Chalon Conte d'Auxerre" renounced her rights of inheritance from her parents in favour of "suoi Padre e Madre, e di Oddoardo ed Aymone suoi fratelli" as part of the arrangements concerning her dowry, by charter dated "la festa di S. Vincenzo 1292"[553]. The marriage contract of "Domicellam Alienor filiam…domini Amedei comitis Sabaudiæ" and "Guillermus de Cabilone comes Altissiodorensis" is dated Jan 1292[554]. "Guglielmo di Chalon Conte d'Auxerres" donated property to "Eleonora figlia del Conte Amedeo di Savoia sua Moglie" in contemplation of marriage by charter dated 7 Jan 1292[555]. The Papal dispensation for the marriage of "il Conte Giov di ---e" and "la principessa Eleonora figlia del Conte Amedeo V di Savoia" notwithstanding 4^o consanguinity is dated 7 Jan 1291[556]. The testament of "Sibilla comitissa Sabaudiæ, dominaque Baugiaci, uxor…domini Amedei comitis Sabaudiæ" dated 1294 grants bequests to "…filiæ nostræ Elyonori, Guillermo comiti Altissiodorensi eius marito…filiæ nostræ Margaretæ…filiæ nostræ Agneti…filio nostro Aymoni…filium nostrum Eduardum…in pupillari ætate…illum quem gestamus in utero"[557]. The testament of "Conte Amedeo di Savoia" dated 27 Sep 1307 names "…Eleonora, Margarita, ed Agnes sue figlie"[558]. Her second marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 27 Jun 1308 under which Philippe IV King of France requesting “Jean de Chalon-Auxerre”, guardian of “les enfants de feu Guillaume comte d’Auxerre”, to pay sums due “à la veuve de ce dernier, remariée à Dreux de Mello seigneur de Sainte-Hermine”[559]. m firstly (Papal dispensation 4^o 7 Jan 1291[560], 12 Jan 1292) GUILLAUME Comte d'Auxerre, son of JEAN de Salins Seigneur de Rochefort [Bourgogne-Comté] & his second wife Alix de Bourgogne [Capet] Ctss d'Auxerre ([1270]-killed in battle Mons-en-Puelle 1304). m secondly (1305) as his second wife, DREUX [IV] de Mello Seigneur de Sainte-Hermine, son of DREUX [III] de Mello Seigneur de Saint-Bris & his [second wife Eustachie de Lusignan] (-[1317]). m thirdly as his second wife, JEAN [I] Comte de Forez, son of GUY [VI] Comte de Forez & his wife Jeanne de Montfort ([1275/76]-3 Jul 1334).

3. JEAN de Savoie (-1284, bur Hautecombe). Guichenon records that "Jean de Savoie", son of Comte Amedée V and his first wife, died in 1284 and was buried at Hautecombe[561]. The date indicates that Jean must have been his parents´ second son.

4. BEATRIX de Savoie (-[7 Jan 1291/1294]). The Papal dispensation for the marriage of "Principessa Beatrice di Sav. figliuola del Conte Amedeo V di Sav." and "Principe Guglielmo figlio del Conte Amedeo di Geneva" notwithstanding 4^o consanguinity is dated 7 Jan 1291[562]. She presumably died soon after her betrothal. She is not named in the testament of her mother dated 1294[563]. Betrothed (Papal dispensation 7 Jan 1291) to GUILLAUME de Genève, son of AMEDEE II Comte de Genève & his wife Agnès de Chalon [Bourgogne-Comté] (-25 Nov 1320). He later married Béatrix's younger sister Agnès de Savoie.

5. EDOUARD de Savoie (Baugé 8 Feb 1284-Gentilly near Paris 4 Nov 1329, bur Abbaye de Hautecombe). The testament of "Sibilla comitissa Sabaudiæ, dominaque Baugiaci, uxor…domini Amedei comitis Sabaudiæ" dated 1294 grants bequests to "…filio nostro Aymoni…filium nostrum Eduardum…in pupillari ætate…illum quem gestamus in utero"[564]. The testament of "Conte Amedeo di Savoia" dated 27 Sep 1307 appoints "Odorado suo figlio primogenito" as sole heir[565]. He fought with Philippe IV "le Bel" King of France at Cassel. He succeeded his father in 1323 as EDOUARD "le Libéral" Comte de Savoie. He granted numerous franchises to the communes. He was in vigorous conflict with the Dauphin de Viennois. Taking advantage of the revolt des Arves against the Bishop of Maurienne in 1326, Comte Edouard strengthened his power over the county and took over half the bishop's revenues[566]. A 14th century Chronicle of Geneva records the death 4 Nov 1329 "in Francia apud Gentilliez" of "D. Eduardus comes Sabaudie" and his burial "Atecombe"[567]. The necrology of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne records the death "V Id Jan", "IV Kal Jun" and "II Non Nov…apud Gentyllie" of "dnus Edwardus comes Sabaudie"[568]. Presumably the first two dates relate to specific donations which Comte Edouard had made. m (Papal dispensation 21 Jun 1298, contract Paris 27 Sep 1307, château de Montbard, Côte d'Or 18 Oct 1307) BLANCHE de Bourgogne, daughter of ROBERT II Duke of Burgundy [Capet] & his wife Agnès de France ([1288]-Dijon 27 or 28 Jul 1348, bur Dijon, église des Cordeliers). The Continuatio of the Chronicle of Guillaume de Nangis records the marriage in 1308 of "filius Sabaudie comitis Eduardus" and "sororem reginæ Navarræ...filiam ducis Burgundiæ"[569].

Dionigi 1307"[570]. An agreement dated 27 Sep 1307 refers to the dowry of "Bianca Primogenita del Duca di Borgogna futuro Sposa di Edoardo [figlio Primogenito…del…Conte Amedeo di Savoia"[571]. The necrology of Maubuisson records the death "VI Kal Aug" of "domina Blancha quondam comitissa de Sabaudia"[572]. Comte Edouard & his wife had one child:

a) JEANNE de Savoie ([1310]-Château du Bois de Vincennes 29 Jun 1344, bur Dijon, église des Cordeliers).

Vicomtesse de Limoges, as her dower, on her marriage in 1330. She renewed her claim to Savoy after her marriage, and allied herself with the Dauphin de Viennois against her uncle. By agreement 22 Nov 1339, she renounced her rights of succession in Savoy in return for an annual income of 6,000 livres. The testament of "Dominus Aymo comes Sabaudiæ, dux Chablasii et Augustæ, in Italia Marchio, et Baroniarum Baugiaci et Coloniaci dominus ac filius claræ memoriæ Dom. Amedei comitis Sabaudiæ" dated 11 Jun 1343 orders that the claim by "Dom. Joannæ eius nepti filiæ quondam comitis Eduardi ducissæ Britaniæ" to the county of Savoy be settled with the seal of the king of France[573].

"Margarita di Savoia" made a donation to "Conte Amedeo suo Padre" of a sum on money bequeathed to her under the last testament of "Dama Sibilla sua Madre" dated 6 Jan 1296[576], presumably as part of the arrangements for her forthcoming marriage.

His first cousin Jeanne de Savoie, widow of Jean III Duke of Brittany and daughter of Edouard Comte de Savoie, bequeathed her titular rights to the county of Savoy to Philippe de France Duc d'Orléans by testament before her death in Jun 1344, but Philippe VI King of France abandoned these rights in his son's name in favour of Comte Amedée VI at Chambéry 25 Feb 1346 in return for the castles of Milly and Bicêtre[653]. After Hugues de Genève Seigneur de Gex attacked Savoie, Comte Amedée captured Gex 11 Nov 1352, finally defeating Hugues at La Bâtie des Abrets in Apr 1354[654].

C. PRINCES of ACHAIA, SIGNORI del PIEMONTE

THOMAS [III] de Savoie, son of THOMAS [II] Conte [Marchese] del Piemonte & his second wife Beatrice Fieschi ([1252]-San Ginesio 16 May 1282). His parentage is confirmed by his own testament dated 14 May 1282 in which he is named "Tommaso Primogenito del Conte Tomaso di Savoia"[697]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[698], Thomas was born in Aug 1248 but this is clearly incorrect considering the date of his parents' marriage which, as noted above, was linked to the reconciliation of the Savoy family with Pope Innocent IV which followed the death of Emperor Friedrich II in 1250. Given the enmity between the Papal and imperial factions during the emperor's lifetime, it is unlikely that Thomas's parents indulged in a premarital relationship. He succeeded his father in 1259 as Comte de Maurienne, Conte [Marchese] del Piemonte. A second testament of "Beatrix relicta…Dom. Reymundi Berengarii comitis provinciæ", dated 22 Feb 1264, adds bequests to "Thomam Amedeum et Ludovicum filios quondam Dom. Thome fratris mei…Alienore filie predicti comitis Thome…"[699]. The testament of "Conte Pietro di Savoia", dated Sep 1264 named "…filius quondam Thomæ de Sabaudia alterius fratris sui…major natu aliorum filiorum dicti Thomæ…"[700]. The testament of "Adalasiæ relictæ Alberti junioris domini de Turre Pini et de Coloniaco", dated May 1273, bequeathed property to "…domine Comitisse del Borget consanguinee mee…Thome et Amedeo de Sabaudia filiis eiusdem…"[701]. He acquired Pinerolo in 1274, and Turin, Collegno, Grugliasco and Pianezza in 1280. The testament of "Thomas de Sabaudia primogenitus…domini Thomæ de Sabaudia comitis" dated 14 May 1282 chooses his burial "in monasterio de Altacomba", makes bequests to "dominæ Guiæ de Burgundia consorti meæ…matri meæ dominæ B. comitissæ", confirms a donation made to "domino Guillermo de Rupecula militi familiari meo", and appoints "Philippum de Sabaudia filium meum primogenitum" as his heir provided he provides sufficient appanages "aliis filiis meis Petro, Thomæ, Amedeo et Guillermo fratribus suis", appointing their mother as tutor for his sons with the assistance of "consanguineum meum R. patrem dominum Aymarum archiepiscopum Lugdunensem et…dominum Othonem comitem Burgundiæ dictæ dominæ Guyæ germanum…"[702].

m (May 1274) GUYE de Bourgogne, daughter of HUGUES de Chalon Comte Palatin de Bourgogne, Seigneur de Salins & his wife Alix Ctss Palatine de Bourgogne [Andechs-Merano] (-24 Jun 1316). "Ottone di Borgonia Signore di Salins" reached agreement with "Tomaso di Savoia" concerning the dowry payment of "Guidetta sua Sorella Moglie del sudetto Tommaso" by contract dated "15 di Pentecoste 1274"[703]. Her origin is also confirmed by the testament of "Thomas de Sabaudia primogenitus…domini Thomæ de Sabaudia comitis" dated 14 May 1282 which makes bequests to "dominæ Guiæ de Burgundia consorti meæ…", and appoints as tutor for his sons with the assistance of "…dominum Othonem comitem Burgundiæ dictæ dominæ Guyæ germanum…"[704]. A charter dated 24 May 1286 records the results of a commission relating to Piemonte and declarations by "Ludovicus de Sabaudia" and by "Guia de Burgundia relicata…domini Thome de Sabaudia…filiorum nostrorum…Philippi Petri Thome Amedei et Guillelmi"[705].

Comte Thomas III & his wife had five children:

1. PHILIPPE de Savoie (Susa 1278-23 Sep 1334). The testament of "Thomas de Sabaudia primogenitus…domini Thomæ de Sabaudia comitis" dated 14 May 1282 appoints "Philippum de Sabaudia filium meum primogenitum" as his heir provided he provides sufficient appanages "aliis filiis meis Petro, Thomæ, Amedeo et Guillermo fratribus suis"[706]. He succeeded in 1294 as Signore [Sovereign Lord] del Piemonte.

a) JEAN (-1348). Guichenon names "Jean de Savoie surnommé la Mitre Seigneur de Cuynes en Maurienne" as illegitimate son of Pierre, adding that Amedée VI Comte de Savoie granted his property to Georges de Soliers Chancellor of Savoy when he died childless in 1348 (no corresponding primary source cited)[712].

Comte Thomas III had [three possible illegitimate children] by unknown mistresses:

6. [LANCELOT . Guichenon states that "Pingon et du Buttet" name "Lancelot de Savoie" as son of Comte Thomas III and add that he left an illegitimate son "Hugonin de Savoie Seigneur de Baratone, de Lemia et d´Ussel", but considers this information suspect as he was not mentioned in the testament of his supposed father and because the father of the supposed son was in fact Pierre Archbishop of Lyon[720].]

7. [NICOLAS de Savoie (-[1340/62]). Guichenon states that "l´inventaire des titres de la Maison de Nevers" mentions "Nicolas et François de Savoie, Seigneurs du Bord de Mer en Nivernois", that Nicolas swore homage to the comte de Nevers in 1336, and François in 1362 ("au nom de Philippine de Savoie fille dudit Nicolas") and 1363, and that Nicolas served Philippe VI King of France at the battle of Bouvines in 1340 with one knight and 41 squires having made the journey with Thomas de Savoie (son of Comte Thomas III). He concludes that this indicates that the two may have been illegitimate sons of Thomas III[721]. Seigneur de Bard-de-Mer.] m ---. The name of Nicolas´s wife is not known. Nicolas & his wife had one child:

a) PHILIPPINE de Savoie (-after 1362). Guichenon states that "l´inventaire des titres de la Maison de Nevers" mentions "Nicolas et François de Savoie, Seigneurs du Bord de Mer en Nivernois", that Nicolas swore homage to the comte de Nevers in 1336, and François in 1362 ("au nom de Philippine de Savoie fille dudit Nicolas") and 1363[722].

8. [FRANÇOIS de Savoie (-after 1363). Guichenon states that "l´inventaire des titres de la Maison de Nevers" mentions "Nicolas et François de Savoie, Seigneurs du Bord de Mer en Nivernois", that Nicolas swore homage to the comte de Nevers in 1336, and François in 1362 ("au nom de Philippine de Savoie fille dudit Nicolas") and 1363, and that Nicolas served Philippe VI King of France at the battle of Bouvines in 1340 with one knight and 41 squires having made the journey with Thomas de Savoie (son of Comte Thomas III). He concludes that this indicates that the two may have been illegitimate sons of Thomas III[723]. Seigneur de Bard-de-Mer 1362/63.] m ---. The name of Francesco's wife is not known. Francesco & his wife had [one child]:

a) [PEROT de Savoie (-after [1369]). Guichenon states that Froissart mentions "Perot de Savoie" who commanded troops of Charles V King of France against the English in [1369], and suggests that he may have been the son of François[724].]

PHILIPPE de Savoie, son of THOMAS [III] de Savoie Conte [Marchese] del Piemonte & his wife Guye de Chalon [Bourgogne-Comté] (Susa 1278-23 Sep 1334). The testament of "Thomas de Sabaudia primogenitus…domini Thomæ de Sabaudia comitis" dated 14 May 1282 appoints "Philippum de Sabaudia filium meum primogenitum" as his heir provided he provides sufficient appanages "aliis filiis meis Petro, Thomæ, Amedeo et Guillermo fratribus suis"[725]. A charter dated 24 May 1286 records the results of a commission relating to Piemonte and declarations by "Ludovicus de Sabaudia" and by "Guia de Burgundia relicata…domini Thome de Sabaudia…filiorum nostrorum…Philippi Petri Thome Amedei et Guillelmi"[726]. He succeeded in 1294 as Signore [Sovereign Lord] del Piemonte. As an infant, he was passed over by the States General as Comte de Savoie in 1285 on the death of his great uncle, in favour of his uncle Amedée V, despite being the senior male representative of the family. Comte Amedée V accorded him Turin and Pinerolo in 1286 as compensation[727]. A charter dated 24 Feb 1295 records "Philippus de Sabaudia" taking possession of the lordship of Piemonte[728]. Prince of Achaia 23 Feb 1301, by right of his first wife: a charter dated 23 Feb 1301 records the marriage between "dominum Philippum de Sabaudia" and "dominam Isabellam principissam Achayæ", and the investiture of the former as prince of Achaia by "regis domini Caroli secundi…Jerusalem et Siciliæ regis…vice filii ipsius…domini Philippi principis Tarentini"[729]. His rule in Achaia was marked by despotism and self-interest. Having refused to help Charles II King of Sicily [Anjou-Capet] in his 1305 attempt to capture Epirus, the king finally deposed him 5 Jun 1306[730]. He left Greece and received in exchange the county of Alba on the Adriatic coast of Italy by agreement 11 May 1307. A charter dated 11 May 1307 records the agreement between "domini Karoli secundi…Jerusalem et Sicilie regis" and "dominus Philippus de Sabaudia" settling their differences[731]. Despite this agreement, Philippe continued using the title Prince of Achaia after his return to Italy. "Ser Phylippus de Sabaudia Princeps Achaye et Isabella Principissa" are included in the list of Barons "de Romania" with whom Venice maintained relations in 1313[732], demonstrating that the republic of Venice continued to recognise the titles and positions of Philippe and his wife even after they left Greece. "Mayffredus marchio Saluciarum pro se et Fredelicho filio suo" and "dominus Philippus de Sabaudia princeps Achaye" agreed the division of "marchionatus Montisferrati" by charter dated 30 Mar 1314[733]. The testament of "Dominus Philippus de Sabaudia primogenitus…Domini Thomæ de Sabaudia Dominus in partibus Pedemontii" dated 9 Jun 1330 appoints as his heirs "Dominam Margaretam eius filiam…Dominam Alaxiam eius filiam…Elinoriam filiam suam…Joannam eius filiam" and "Beatricam et Isabellam filias suas" and "Amedeum, Thomam et Eduardum filio suos", and as his main heir "Jacobum eius filium primogenitum", naming "Dominam Catharinam eorum matrem" as guardian[734].

m firstly (Rome 12 Feb 1301, separated 1307) as her third husband, ISABELLE de Villehardouin Pss of Achaia, widow firstly of PHILIPPE of Sicily titular King of Thessaloniki and secondly of FLORENT de Hainaut Stadhouder of Zeeland Seigneur de Braine-le-Comte, daughter and heiress of GUILLAUME II de Villehardouin “le Grand Dent” Prince of Achaia & his third wife Anna Komnenodukaina of Epirus ([1260/63]-23 Jan 1312). The Livre de la Conqueste de la Morée records the marriage of “monseignor Philippe de Savoye, fils jadis dou conte Thomas de Savoye qui fu occis par traïson d´un carel d´arbalastre…sires de Pinerol et de Thurin et de celle contrée de Piémont” and “la princesse Ysabeau”[735]. Pss of Achaia 1289-1307. A charter dated 23 Feb 1301 records the marriage between "dominum Philippum de Sabaudia" and "dominam Isabellam principissam Achayæ", and the investiture of the former as prince of Achaia by "regis domini Caroli secundi…Jerusalem et Siciliæ regis…vice filii ipsius…domini Philippi principis Tarentini"[736]. She and Comte Philippe were forced to renounce the Principality of Achaia 11 May 1307 in favour of her first husband’s nephew Philippe of Sicily Principe di Tarento. Isabelle separated from her husband, but continued to protest the loss of Achaia from Hainaut where she was living in spring 1307. She was created Lady of Kalamata in 1308 by Charles II King of Sicily [Anjou-Capet]. She affirmed her rights, and those of her daughter Mathilde de Hainaut, over Achaia 29 Apr 1311 at Valenciennes.

Betrothed ([23 Jan/7 May] 1312) to KATHARINA von Habsburg, daughter of ALBRECHT I King of Germany, Duke of Austria & his wife Elisabeth von Görz-Tirol (Oct 1295-Naples 18 Jan 1323, bur Naples San Lorenzo Maggiore). Her first betrothal is referred to in the State Archives "Matrimonio tra Filippo di Savoia Principe d'Acaia e Catterina d'Hasbourg (non ebbe effetto)"[737]. It must be dated to early 1312 between the death of Philippe de Savoie's first wife and the date of his second marriage.

m secondly (7 May 1312) CATHERINE de Viennois, daughter of HUMBERT [I] Dauphin de Viennois [de la Tour du Pin et de Coligny] & his wife Anne Dauphine de Viennois [Bourgogne-Capet] (-9 Dec 1337). The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus records the marriage of "Catharina Delphini filia" and "Philippo…Sabaudo Achaiæ principi"[738]. "Gio. Delfino di Vienna" made two declarations relating to payment of the agreed dowry to "Filippo di Savoia Principe di Acaja" relating to his marriage to (in one declaration) "Cattarina sua Sorella future Sposa di detto Filippo di Savoia" and (in the other) "Cattarina di Lui Sorella Moglie del detto Principe Filippo", both dated 7 May 1312[739], the difference in the description of the bride in the two documents suggesting that one was written before the marriage took place on that date and the other after. The testament of "Dominus Philippus de Sabaudia primogenitus…Domini Thomæ de Sabaudia Dominus in partibus Pedemontii" dated 9 Jun 1330 appoints "Dominam Catharinam eorum matrem" as guardian of his children[740]. "Conte Aymone di Savoia" confirmed the appointment by "Filippo di Savoia Principe d'Accaja" of "Cattarina di Vienna sua Moglie" as tutor of "Giacomo, Amedeo, Tomaso ed Edoardo Loro figliuoli" by agreement dated 20 Oct 1334[741].

Comte Philippe III & his first wife had [three] children (Europäische Stammtafeln shows another unnamed daughter by Philippe's first marriage married to Charles of Sicily [Anjou-Capet] Prince of Achaia[742]. This presumably results from confusion with Mathilde de Hainaut, daughter of Isabelle de Villehardouin by her second husband Florent de Hainaut Seigneur de Braine, who was heiress of Morea and betrothed to Charles):

1. [MARIE de Savoie (1301-after 1308). Europäische Stammtafeln shows this eldest daughter[743]. However, the primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. The charter dated 24 Dec 1303, in favour of her sister Marguerite (see below), suggests that the latter was Philippe and Isabelle´s oldest daughter. This leaves open the question of Marie´s existence.]

2. MARGUERITE de Savoie (Feb 1303-after 8 Dec 1371). "Phelippes de Sauoie Princes d´Achaye et Ysabiaux Princesse de celle meisme" renounced "le Chastel et la Chastelanie de Cariteyne et de Bossolet" [Karytena and Bucelet] in favour of "nostre…fille Marguerite" for her life by charter dated 24 Dec 1303[744]. She was required to cede them back to Achaia after her father was deposed as prince in return for land near Alba, which yielded 200 gold ounces a year for her future dowry, granted by Charles II King of Sicily[745]. She ceded her rights in the principality of Achaia to her half-brother Jacques de Savoie[746]. Her first betrothal is suggested by the proxy dated 4 Mar 1306 issued by "Filippo di Savoia Principe d'Acaja e Isabella di Lui Consorte" appointing "Guglielmo Provana e Chialaberto di Lusema" to negotiate the marriage between "Carlo figlio Primo Genito di Filippo Re di Sicilia" and "Margarita di Savoia Loro figlia"[747], although it is not known whether the negotiations were finalised into a marriage contract. The contract of marriage between "nobilem Raynaudum de Forisio, natum…domini Johannis comitis Forensis" and "nobilem Margaritam filiam…domini Philippi de Sabaudia principis Achaye" is dated 3 May 1324[748]. The testament of "Joannes comes Forensis", dated 16 Aug 1324, appoints "filium meum Raynaudum" as his heir in seven castles in anticipation of his marriage contracted with "Margaritam filiam domini Philipi de Sabaudia principis Achaye" and in the inheritance of "quondam Alisie de Viannesio matris sue"[749]. The testament of "Dominus Philippus de Sabaudia primogenitus…Domini Thomæ de Sabaudia Dominus in partibus Pedemontii" dated 9 Jun 1330 appoints as his heirs "Dominam Margaretam eius filiam…Dominam Alaxiam eius filiam…Elinoriam filiam suam…Joannam eius filiam" and "Beatricam et Isabellam filias suas"[750]. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified. [Betrothed (proxy granted 4 Mar 1306) to CHARLES di Tarento, son of PHILIPPE of Sicily Principe di Tarento, Despot of Romania [Anjou-Capet] & his first wife Thamar Angelina Komnene Dukaina of Epirus ([1296]-killed in battle Montecatini, between Pistoia and Lucca 29 Aug 1315).

The testament of "Beatrice di Savoia Dama di Thoire e di Villars" dated 28 Oct 1339 appoints as her heirs the children to be born from her marriage, or if there are none "il de Lei Marito, ed Odoardo di Savoia fratello di essa Testatrice"[767]. m (Papal dispensation 3^o 30 Apr 1331, 10 Sep 1334) as his first wife, HUMBERT [V] de Thoire-Villars, son of HUMBERT [IV] Seigneur de Thoire et de Villars & his wife Eléonore de Beaujeu [Forez] (-[before 12 Feb 1372 or after 6 Aug 1372]). He succeeded his father in 1336 as Seigneur de Thoire et de Villars.

10. AGNES de Savoie ([1325/30?]-28 Nov [1384]). "Giacomo di Savoia Principe d'Acaja" undertook to pay "Gio. Signore de La Chambre" the dowry for "Agnese sua Sorella Moglie di detto Signore de La Chambre" by charter dated 2 May 1350[768]. A second necrology of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne records the death "IV Kal Dec" of "dne Agnetis de Sabaudia olim relicte bone memorie dni Johannis dni Camere" and her donation "anno 1384" (unclear whether the year refers to the death or the donation)[769]. m (Jan 1343) JEAN [II] de la Chambre Seigneur de la Chambre, Vicomte de Maurienne, son of RICHARD [II] Seigneur de la Chambre, Vicomte de Maurienne & his wife Marie de Lineriis [Liveriis] (-after 10 Apr 1367).

Abbess of the convent of San Giacomo at Pinerolo. According to Europäische Stammtafeln she was her father's daughter by his first marriage[771]. However, the order in which she is named in her father's testament suggests that she was younger than her sister Agnes. The same table in Europäische Stammtafeln also shows her marriage to Jean de la Chambre Seigneur de Laville, but there is probably confusion with her sister Agnès who was the third wife of Jean de la Chambre according to another table[772]. She was unmarried 9 Jan 1330, the date of the testament of her father which names (in order) his daughters Marguerite, Alice, Eléonore, Jeannette (all of whom had received dowries), and Agnes and Isabelle his "other daughters" to whom larger bequests were made to provide for their dowries[773].

12. THOMAS de Savoie (1329-after 6 Oct 1360).

Archbishop of Tarantasia 23 Mar 1386.

14. AYMON de Savoie (after 9 Jun 1330-after 13 Mar 1398). He is not named in his father's testament dated 9 Jun 1330[776]. His father bequeathed him the fief of Fiano in the 18 Sep 1334 codicil of his testament[777]. The testament of "Dominus Jacobus de Sabaudia Princeps Achayæ filius et hæres…Domini Philippi de Sabaudia Principis Achayæ quondam" dated 16 May 1366 names as his heirs "Philippum eius filium, quem suscepit a D.

The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. Amedée Comte de Savoie gave permission for the return of Mencia's dowry dated 11 Nov 1385[780], which appears to imply the breakdown of the marriage before that date. The testament of "Dominus Aymo de Sabaudia miles Dominus Villæ-Franchæ, filius quondam…Domini Philippi de Sabaudia Achayæ principis" dated 13 Mar 1398 makes bequests to "Dominæ Mehentiæ eius consortis…nobili Leonetæ filiæ…Domini Joannis de Marchionibus Cevæ"[781].

JACQUES de Savoie, son of PHILIPPE de Savoie Signore del Piemonte, Prince of Achaia & his second wife Catherine de Viennois ([6/16] Jan 1315-Pinerolo 14 May 1367). The testament of "Dominus Philippus de Sabaudia primogenitus…Domini Thomæ de Sabaudia Dominus in partibus Pedemontii" dated 9 Jun 1330 appoints as his main heir "Jacobum eius filium primogenitum"[782]. His half-sister Marguerite de Savoie ceded her rights in the principality of Achaia to him[783], although he had no hereditary right to the territory as Marguerite's title devolved from her mother. He succeeded his father in 1334 as titular Prince of Achaia, Signore [Sovereign Lord] del Piemonte. He challenged the authority of Robert of Sicily, Principe di Tarento, as Prince of Achaia during the early 1340s[784]. He challenged the authority of Amedée VI "le Comte Vert" Comte de Savoie, who captured Jacques at Pinerolo and confiscated all his territories in Piemonte. These were returned under the treaty signed 2 Jul 1362[785]. The testament of "Dominus Jacobus de Sabaudia Princeps Achayæ filius et hæres…Domini Philippi de Sabaudia Principis Achayæ quondam" dated 16 May 1366 names "Dominum Philippum de Sabaudia et Dominam Catharinam eius parentes", bequeaths the dowry under the contract of marriage of "Dominæ Margaretæ de Bellojoco eius conjugi", names as his heirs "Philippum eius filium, quem suscepit a D. Sibilla de Baucio eius conjuge…Ludovicum eius filium quem suscepit a dicta D. Margarita nunc conjuge sua…D. Aymoni de Sabaudia fratri suo…Amedeum filium suum quem a dicta D. Margareta nunc conjuge sua primogenitum suscepit"[786].

Betrothed (contract 5 Mar 1337) to BEATRICE di Saluzzo, daughter of TOMMASO II Marchese di Saluzzo & his wife Riccarda Visconti ([1329]-). The contract of marriage between "dominam Caterinam de Vienna principissam Achaie et Jacobum filium suum" and "dominum Thomam de Salutiis…Beatrisinam filiam ipsius domini" is dated 5 Mar 1337[787].

m firstly (by proxy 18 Dec 1338, 22 Jan 1339) BEATRICE d'Este, daughter of RINALDO II d'Este Signore di Ferrara e Modena & his wife Lucrezia di Barbiano (-Ivrea 10 Feb 1339). By charter dated 18 Dec 1338, "Conte Aymone di Savoia" appointed "Umberto di Vileta Signore di Chevron ed Aimone di Verdon" as proxies to confirm all obligations agreed by "Giacomo di Savoia Principe d'Acaia" relating to the dowry of "Beatrice figlia Rainaudo Marchese di Ferrara"[788]. An agreement dated 22 Jan 1339 between "Beatrice figlia del fu Marchese Renaldo d'Este" and "Obizione e Nicolao Marchesi d'Este" relates to the payment of dowry to "Giacomo di Savoia Principe d'Acaia"[789]. Although the wording of these documents do not confirm that this marriage ever took place (and the evident problems relating to the dowry suggest that negotiations were difficult), the 16 May 1366 testament of Prince Jacques names "…Principessa Sibilla di Beaux sua Seconda Consorte…" and therefore indicates that he was married before, presumably to Beatrice[790].

m secondly (contract 9 Jun 1339) SIBYLLE de Baux, daughter of RAYMOND [I] Seigneur de Baux Conte di Avellino & his second wife Etiennnette de Baux (-before 16 May 1361, bur Marseille, église des Franciscains). The testament of "Dominus Jacobus de Sabaudia Princeps Achayæ filius et hæres…Domini Philippi de Sabaudia Principis Achayæ quondam" dated 16 May 1366 names "Philippum eius filium, quem suscepit a D. Sibilla de Baucio eius conjuge…"[791]. The primary source which confirms her parentage more precisely has not yet been identified.

m thirdly (contract 16 Jul 1362, Episcopal dispensation 18 Jul 1362[792]) MARGUERITE de Beaujeu dame de Berzay, daughter of EDOUARD [I] Seigneur de Beaujeu [Forez] & his wife Marie du Thil (20 Dec 1346-Jan 1402). The contract of marriage between "Dominum Jacobum de Sabaudia Principem Achayæ" and "Domicellam Margaritam de Bellojoco" is dated 16 Jul 1362, and names "Dominus Antonius dominus Bellijoci frater dictæ domicellæ…bonæ memoriæ Dom. Eduardi et Dom. Mariæ de Til Dom. quondam Bellijoci patris et matris dictorum Dom. Antonii Dom. nunc Bellijoci et dictæ domicellæ Margaritæ"[793]. A dispensation for the marriage between "Giacomo di Savoia Principe d'Acaja" and "Margarita figlia del fu Edoardo Signore di Beaujeu" was granted by "Amedeo di Savoia Vescovo di Moriena Subdelegato Apostolico" 18 Jul 1362[794]. Her marriage was agreed as a condition of the treaty of 2 Jul 1362 which settled the dispute between her future husband and Amedée VI Comte de Savoie. She conspired to exclude her step-son from the succession to Piemonte, in favour of her own sons[795]. The testament of "Dominus Jacobus de Sabaudia Princeps Achayæ filius et hæres…Domini Philippi de Sabaudia Principis Achayæ quondam" dated 16 May 1366 bequeaths the dowry under the contract of marriage of "Dominæ Margaretæ de Bellojoco eius conjugi"[796]. "Margarita de Bello joco relicta…d. Jacobi de Sabaudia principis Achaye" protested against "dominus Philippus de Sabaudia" to "Amedei et Ludovici de Sabaudia" by charter dated Sep 1368[797]. After the suppression of the rebellion of her stepson, she was obliged to resign the guardianship of her infant sons in 1369 in return for an annual pension of 3,000 florins, and was interned in a Franciscan convent[798]. The testament of "Margarite de Beaujeu Princesse de la Morée, relicte de…Jaques de Sauoye Prince de la Morée" dated 21 Oct 1388 chooses her burial "en l´Eglise des Freres Meneurs de Pinerol…auec ques mon…Seigneur et Mary Monsieur Jaques de Sauoye jadis Prince de la Morée" and names as her heirs "mes…fils Amies de Sauoye Prince de la Morée…et Loys de Sauoye mon…fils" and, in default of male descendants, "mon oncle Monsieur Jean seigneur de Til"[799].

Margareta nunc conjuge sua primogenitum suscepit"[802]. His father excluded him from the succession as a result of the scheming of his third wife. "Dominus Jacobus de Sabaudia princeps Achaye" protested against "dominus Philippus de Sabaudia eius natus…ingratus et immeritus" by charter dated 25 Apr 1367[803]. Philippe allied himself with Federico Marchese di Saluzzo and ravaged Piemonte. "Margarita de Bello joco relicta…d. Jacobi de Sabaudia principis Achaye" protested against "dominus Philippus de Sabaudia" to "Amedei et Ludovici de Sabaudia" by charter dated Sep 1368[804]. Seigneur de Vigan. "Amedeo comite Sabaudie" gave judgment against "dom. Philippo de Sabaudia" by charter dated 27 Sep 1368[805].

The Seyssel family was studied in detail by Comte Marc de Seyssel-Crussieu in 1900[1170]. He refers to primary source material throughout but unfortunately summarises the content in French without quoting the original Latin (and provides only general source citations). Judging the accuracy of his information is therefore difficult. As some inconsistencies were noted while studying his work, it is recommended that his summaries should be treated with some caution.
