    Notes:

    Amadeus III of Savoy (1095 – April 1148) was Count of Savoy and Maurienne from 1103 until his death. He was also known as a crusader.[1]

    Biography
    He was born in Carignano, Piedmont, the son of Humbert II of Savoy and Gisela of Burgundy, the daughter of William I of Burgundy. He succeeded as count of Savoy upon the death of his father.[1] Amadeus had a tendency to exaggerate his titles, and also claimed to be Duke of Lombardy, Duke of Burgundy, Duke of Chablais, and vicar of the Holy Roman Empire, the latter of which had been given to his father by Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor.

    He helped restore the Abbey of St. Maurice of Agaune, in which the former kings of Burgundy had been crowned, and of which he himself was abbot until 1147. He also founded the Abbey of St. Sulpicius in Bugey, Tamié Abbey in the Bauges, and Hautecombe Abbey on the Lac du Bourget.

    In 1128, Amadeus extended his realm, known as the "Old Chablais", by adding to it the region extending from the Arve to the Dranse d'Abondance, which came to be called the "New Chablais" with its capital at Saint-Maurice. Despite his marriage to Mahaut, he still fought against his brother-in-law Guy, who was killed at the Battle of Montmélian. Following this, King Louis VI of France, married to Amadeus' sister Adélaide de Maurienne, attempted to confiscate Savoy. Amadeus was saved by the intercession of Peter the Hermit, and by his promise to participate in Louis' planned crusade.

    Crusade
    In 1147, he accompanied his nephew Louis VII of France and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine on the Second Crusade.[2] He financed his expedition with help from a loan from the Abbey of St. Maurice. In his retinue were many barons from Savoy, including the lords of Faucigny, Seyssel, La Chambre, Miolans, Montbel, Thoire, Montmayeur, Vienne, Viry, La Palude, Blonay, Chevron-Villette, Chignin, and Châtillon. Amadeus travelled south through Italy to Brindisi, where he crossed over to Durazzo, and marched east along the Via Egnatia to meet Louis at Constantinople in late 1147. After crossing into Anatolia, Amadeus, who was leading the vanguard, became separated from Louis near Laodicea, and Louis' forces were almost entirely destroyed.

    Marching on to Adalia, Louis, Amadeus, and other barons decided to continue to Antioch by ship. On the journey, Amadeus fell ill on Cyprus, and died at Nicosia in April 1148.[3] He was buried in the Church of St. Croix in Nicosia. In Savoy, his son Humbert III succeeded him, under the regency of bishop Amadeus of Lausanne.[4]

    Notes:

    Amadeus II (c.?1050-26 January 1080) was the Count of Savoy from 1078 to 1080. His life is obscure and few documents mention him. During his reign he was overshadowed by his mother, but he had good relations with the Papacy and, for a time, the Holy Roman Emperor.

    «b»Before his countship«/b»
    The second son of Otto, Count of Savoy, and Adelaide, Margravine of Turin, Amadeus II was probably born around 1050, because he, alongside other noblemen of the Kingdom of Burgundy, swore an oath on the tomb of Saint Peter in Rome to defend the Church around 1070-73. In 1074 Pope Gregory VII was trying to persuade William I, Count of Burgundy, to remember this vow and, with Amadeus and others, go to the defence of the Roman Empire in the East against the Seljuk Turks. As his mother is known to have had good relations with the Papacy in these years, this record seems to indicate that Amadeus was following his mother's policies at this early stage in his career.

    Early in 1077 Amadeus, with his mother and brother Peter, then Count of Savoy, hosted his sister Bertha, and his brother-in-law, Bertha's husband, the Emperor Henry IV. Amadeus and Adelaide then escorted the imperial couple to Canossa so the excommunicated emperor could reconcile with the pope. There they both took part in the negotiations and stood as pledges for the emperor's good faith.

    On 16 July 1078 Amadeus and Peter witnessed a donation of their mother's to the Abbey of Novalesa. It was the last act of Amadeus and Peter together.

    «b»As count«/b»
    On 9 August 1078 Peter died and Amadeus succeeded him as Count of Savoy, but in the March of Turin, where Peter had co-ruled with their mother, Amadeus was never margrave, although the reason for this is unclear. One document, issued by his widowed daughter Adelaide in 1090, refers to him as "count and margrave" (comes et marchio), but it is probably anachronistic. There is only one document from his reign, in the cartulary of Saint-André-le-Bas in Vienne, which is dated when "Count Amadeus was reigning." This shows, by the absence of the regnal year of the emperor, that despite his involvement in the reconciliation at Canossa, Amadeus II was neutral in the wider Investiture Controversy and the wars against Henry IV that it caused in Germany.

    Amadeus died in Turin on 26 January 1080, according to the necrology of the church of Saint Andrew there. This date must be at least approximately correct, since Adelaide made a monastic donation for the benefit of the souls of her sons Margrave Peter and Count Amadeus on 8 March.

    «b»Marriage, children and succession
    «/b»
    According to the much later Chronicles of Savoy, Amadeus married Joan, daughter of "Girard, Count of Burgundy", who scholars have surmised to have been Count Gerold of Geneva. The Chronicon Altacumbae says only that "the wife of Amadeus [was] from Burgundy", which might refer to Amadeus I. If his wife were Genevan, it would explain how the house of Savoy came to possess so early a large portion of the Genevois. His wife, whatever her name and origins, bore Amadeus II several children, although there is some uncertainty about how many. His confirmed children were:

    1.) Adelaide, wife of Manasses II, sire de Coligny

    2.) Ausilia (also Auxilia or Usilia), second wife of Humbert II de Beaujeu, whom she bore four sons by the last decade of the eleventh century: Guichard, Humbert, Guigues, and Hugh

    3.) Humbert II, his successor as count of Savoy

    The succession of Amadeus II is unclear. His son Humbert II, who was later Count of Savoy, is well known, but in 1082 the Count of Savoy was Otto II. Although Amadeus is known to have had a younger brother named Otto, he is more likely to have been the Bishop of Asti of this name and time. This has led some scholars, beginning with the Conte di Vesme, to make Otto II the eldest son of Amadeus II, who succeeded him and was in turn succeeded by Humbert II. In the immediate aftermath of Amadeus's death, Adelaide took control of all the Savoyard lands on both sides of the Alps.

    Amadeus married de Genève, Jeanne. Jeanne was born in 1040 in Genève, Genève, Switzerland; died in 1095 in Savoie, Rhône-Alpes, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    la première Genevoise

    Fille de Gérold ( ou Gérard) II de Genève (7° comte en 1001 - mort en 1033) et de sa femme Berthe fille du dernier roi des deux Bourgognes

    Elle épouse en 1065 Amédée II, 5° comte de Savoie (1050-1094) ,

    elle lui donna un fils et trois filles : Humbert II (1070- 6° comte en 1080, mort en 1103) - Constance, mariée à Otton de Montferrat († 1084), --Adélaïde († 1090), mariée à Manassès V de Coligny en Bresse et enfin Auxilia,( ce prénom qui rappelle celui de la première comtesse) mariée vers 1080 à Humbert II de Beaujeu († 1101),

    Elle est morte en 1095 , sans avoir jamais eu beaucoup de pouvoir car Adélaïde de Suse a gardé le pouvoir et géré les affaires de la famille jusqu’à sa mort en 1091.

    ’à la fin du XI° siècle, les Humbertiens semblent renoncer aux alliances matrimoniales germaniques au profit de mariages peut-être plus modestes mais indéniablement plus sûrs et plus utiles avec des familles voisines locales
    La nouvelle souveraine de Savoie n’en fut pas plus heureuse pour autant : « mol dolent » de « ne pas avoir ligniée de son corps … », devenue « pale et maigre » à force de « jousne et de prier … » elle s’attira finalement les remarques de son mari qui n’en avait pas demandé tant et qui la pria « qu’elle se donnast bon temps , et se rejouit et confortast .. » . On ne sait si la princesse s’exécuta , mais elle n’en créa pas moins l’abbaye de Saint-Sulpice en Bugey,ce qui apparemment arrangea tout et permit enfin l’avènement d’un héritier Humbert III .

    Étiennette, was countess of Bourgogne, as wife of count William (I or II - there are different counting systems). Her parentage is unknown. Several scholars have proposed parents, but most of these amount to groundless wild guesses. Scholar Szabolcs de Vajay proposed she was from Longwy, but he subsequently concluded he had misinterpreted the documentation, and issued an unqualified retraction. No parentage can be assigned her, and hence no birthplace. She is last documented in October 1088.

Otte-Guillaume retains his rights over the counties of Frankish Burgundy (Beaumont, Fouvent and Oscheret). The Counts of Burgundy will for a long time retain many lands or suzerainties on counties located in the Duchy of Burgundy.

    1032: Rodolphe III of Burgundy (last king of Burgundy) dies without posterity, on September 6, 1032. He had designated his cousin the Germanic emperor Conrad II the Salic as heir. His nephew Eudes II de Blois , son of his elder sister Bertha of Burgundy, raised against Conrad the Salic, the revolt of the feudal lords and prelates of the kingdom of Burgundy. The war of succession of Burgundy (1032-1034) and started is supported by Renaud I st of Burgundy, Count Gerold II Geneva, Archbishop of Vienna, the Bishop of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, as well as Archbishop of Lyon, Burchard II, bastard son of Conrad the Pacific and half-brother of Rodolphe III of Burgundy.

    In front of them, Conrad the Salique has the support of Héribert, Archbishop of Milan, Marquis Boniface III of Tuscany, Ermengarde, widow of Rodolphe III, and Humbert de Maurienne, former advisor and vassal of Rodolphe III today, better known as Humbert to the White Hands.

    Eudes II of Blois is crowned king of Burgundy in Lausanne, by his partisans, but in January 1033, the emperor is also crowned in Basel.

    The revolt fails and the kingdom of Burgundy must remain in the empire. In order to escape the imperial armies, Renaud de Bourgogne retires to Dijon, ducal Burgundy where he has retained many supports.

    1034: the German Emperor Conrad II takes possession of the kingdom of Burgundy (actually the county of Burgundy) and receives the 1 st August , the homage of his new vassals in Geneva.

The emperor then granted a certain frank autonomy and the right to self-administer by his own government to the county of Burgundy. The Archbishop of Besançon is appointed Chancellor and has been widely awarded for his total and very devoted collaboration.

    1043: Henry III comes in Besancon, to become engaged to Agnes of Aquitaine , niece of Renaud I st of Burgundy, and daughter of the Duke of Aquitaine, William V Poitiers. On this occasion, the Archbishop of Besancon, Hugues I er de Salins, gets royal rights over the city of Besançon (legal, political, fiscal and economic).

It escapes the power of the Counts of Burgundy.

    1044: Henry III continues to favor those who have supported his father. He gives the city of Montbeliard to Count Louis de Mousson. Renaud I st Burgundy revolt against the Emperor again, allied to the Count Gerold Geneva. He besieged the castle of Montbeliard, but Count Louis defeated their troops and thus maintains the independence of Montbéliard vis-à-vis the county of Burgundy. The two counts submit the following year to the emperor.

    1057: in September, Count Renaud disappears at the age of 71 years. His son Guillaume (1057-1087), succeeds him.

    1.) Guillaume I er Burgundy said the Grand or Tête Hardie (1020-1087) who succeeded him as Count of Burgundy

    2.) Gui de Brionne or Gui de Bourgogne (v 1025-1069), raised at the court of Normandy, who wanted to succeed the duchy of Normandy against his cousin William of Normandy (future William the Conqueror).
