  == About Tommaso II di Savoia ==
  '''Tommaso II di Savoia''' (Montmélian, 1199 – Chambéry, 7 febbraio 1259) fu conte di Savoia dal 1253 al 1259 assieme al nipote Bonifacio di Savoia.
  Quinto figlio di Tommaso I, conte di Savoia e di Margherita (o Beatrice) di Faucigny, figlia del conte Guglielmo I di Ginevra, e fratello diAmedeo IV, suo immediato predecessore nella linea dinastica in quantoprimogenito maschio. Sposò la contessa delle Fiandre, Giovanna dellaquale rimase vedovo nel 1244. Riuscì ad ottenere 1248 in feudo dall'imperatore Federico II il comune di Torino, cosa che ai torinesi non piacque affatto, ottenendo anche l'approvazione di Papa Innocenzo IV, del quale sposò la nipote Beatrice Fieschi.
  
  Nel 1252 ottenne da Guglielmo II d'Olanda il feudo di Bruino.
  La città di Torino aderì nel 1255 alla coalizione di comuni guidata da Asti: Tommaso II venne sconfitto, fatto prigioniero e costretto a cedere la città, che però venne sottoposta sino al 1270 alla signoriadi Asti, poi fino al 1276 a quella di Carlo d'Angiò ed infine a quella di Guglielmo VII del Monferrato, al quale verrà strappata (fu fatto prigioniero) da Tommaso III di Savoia.
  
  È sepolto nel presbiterio della cattedrale di Aosta.
  
  Da Beatrice Fieschi Tommaso ebbe tre figli maschi:
  
  *Tommaso, detto Tommasino, divenuto poi signore del Piemonte;*Amedeo (1249 – 1325) suo successore dopo Bonifacio, Pietro II e Filippo I;*Ludovico o Luigi (1254 – 1302), divenuto poi Barone di Vaud, capostipite della linea omonima di Savoia-Vaud, che sposò in prime nozze Adelma di Lorena, quindi Isabella di Aulnay ed infine Giovanna di Montfort;
  ed una femmina:
  *Eleonora del Piemonte (1250 – 1296), andata sposa a Ludovico di Forez-Beaujeu.

   Note: 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). 2. AMEDEE de Savoie ([1253]-Avignon 16 Oct 1323, bur Hautecombe). 3. LOUIS de Savoie ([1254]-[10 Jan 1302/27 Apr 1303], maybe 8 Jan 1303). 4. [CONTESSON de Savoie (-after 14 Jan 1264). 5. ELEONORE de Savoie (-24 Aug 1296). 6. ALIX de Savoie (-1 Aug 1277).
