  The House of Savoy is one of the oldest royal dynasties in Europe, which celebrated its millennium in 2003. For antiquity of origin and continuity of succession from 1003 to 1946, the dynasty stands in the foremost rank of the royal houses of Europe. The Savoy family has furnished, in direct descent, counts, dukes and kings that successively ruled the destinies of the land and a genealogy of more than forty princes, who, sprung from one lineage, reigned in an uninterrupted line and handed down the traditions of a common ancestry through no less than thirty generations.
  
  The origins of the dynasty is closely tied to the Savoy region which had for its boundaries Italy, Switzerland and France, containing within its limits some of the highest peaks of the Alps, with picturesque scenery, lavished by mountains, lakes, valleys, rivers and fertile plains. A mystery surrounds the birth and parentage of Humbert the Whitehanded, the first count of Savoy. Opinions of all sorts prevail as to the parentage of the White-handed Count, and he is alternately accredited with a Saxon or an Italian origin, according to the sympathies of his biographer; however, it is generally acknowledged that Berauld or Beroldo or Geroldo of Saxony has the honor of being Count Humbert's father. Beroldo's prowess on the battlefield allowed him to conquer the County of Moriana and overcome the lords of Susa and Piedmont and on the death of Rudolph, the last King of Burgundy, he was appointed Governor-General over the land. He died in 1026 and was buried in Arles. Another competitor for Count Humbert's parentage is Manasse, Count of Savoy. The preference for Saxon ancestry is strengthened by the close affinity of heraldic devices of the Houses of Savoy and Saxony: both bore the Saxon eagle; both had supporters formed of two lions; both, for centuries, quartered a shield on which was inscribed the motto "Saxe"; both Houses owned St. Maurice as their patron saint. Count Humbert's mother, Ermengarde, was of noble rank, who, in 1011, married, as her second husband, King Rudolph III of Burgundy
