Publication: Name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boso,_Margrave_of_Tuscany;
Note: Boso (Italian: Bosone; died after 940?) was a Burgundian nobleman who spent much of his career in Italy, where he became Margrave of Tuscany about 932. Boso was the second son of Count Theobald of Arles and Bertha, illegitimate daughter of King Lothair II. In 926, after Hugh had become King of Italy, he appointed Boso regent of Provence. The first document recording his rank of "margrave" (marchio) dates to 1 July 932, when he persuaded the king to make a donation to the church of Saint Martin in Lucca. The last reference to Boso as margrave of Tuscany comes from 17 September 936, when he sent representatives to oversee an exchange of property by the diocese of Lucca. Liutprand claims that Boso was arrested on suspicion of plotting against the king at the instigation of his wife, Willa of Burgundy. Boso had married his daughter Willa, named for her mother, to Berengar of Ivrea, one of the most powerful margraves in the kingdom.
