House of Savoy
The family of the counts of Savoy first acquired power in the central part of the kingdom of Burgundy during the latter part of the reign of King Rudolf III, the northern part of the territory being dominated by the Comtes de Genčve and the southern part by the Comtes d'Albon. Comte Humbert's landholdings were gradually expanded by his descendants and united into a single county. The first 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 to the Mediterranean between Ventimiglia and Albenga, and included control of the Alpine passes of Mont-Cenis and Saint-Bernard. The 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, retaining only the valley of Susa itself. After the loss of these Italian possessions, Comte Humbert II strengthened relations with France, his daughter eventually marrying Louis VI King of France. .... more
