  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.
  
  «b»Biography«/b»
  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. 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.
  
  «b»Crusade«/b»
  In 1147, he accompanied his nephew Louis VII of France and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine on the Second Crusade. 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. 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.
  
  «b»Family and children«/b»
  With his first wife Adelaide, he had;
  
  1.) Adelaide married Humbert III of Beaujeu
  
  In 1123 he married Mahaut (or Mafalda, or Matilda) of Albon, daughter of Guigues III of Albon, they had:
  
  1.) Mafalda (1125-1158), married king Afonso I of Portugal
  
  2.) Agnes of Savoy (1125-1172), married William I, Count of Geneva
  
  3.) Humbert III (1135-1188)
  
  4.) John of Savoy
  
  5.) Peter of Savoy
  
  6.) William of Savoy
  
  7.)Margaret of Savoy (died 1157), founded and joined nunnery Bons in Bugey
  
  8.) Isabella of Savoy
  
  9.) Juliana of Savoy (died 1194), abbess of St. André-le-Haut
  
  Amédée III de Maurienne ou dit plus couramment Amédée III de Savoie, plus rarement de Savoie-Maurienne, dit « le Croisé », né vers 1095 et mort le 30 août 1148 à Chypre lors de la deuxième croisade, est le 7e comte en Maurienne, également seigneur du Bugey, d'Aoste et du Chablais, marquis de Suse et d'Italie (comte de Turin). Il est considéré, notamment à la suite de Samuel Guichenon, comme le premier à porter le titre de comte de Savoie, à partir de 1143. Il est le fils du comte et marquis Humbert II et de Gisèle de Bourgogne.
  
  Amédée III, duc de Savoie est à la fois le beau-frère du Dauphin, Guigues IV, comte d'Albon du Viennois (1124-1140) —dont il a épousé la sœur Mahaut— et celui du roi Louis VI —qui a lui-même épousé sa sœur, Adèle de Savoie, après avoir abandonné Lucienne de Rochefort à Guichard III de Beaujeu ! Ce dernier, quant à lui, est le beau-père de Guy Ier, comte de Forez (1107-1138) —lui-même cousin, issu de germains, du Dauphin. L'affrontement (1140) entre les deux beaux-frères, duc de Savoie et comte du Dauphiné, verra la mort du Dauphin, la colère de la reine de France et la condamnation, par le pape, du duc de Savoie à partir pour la Terre Sainte.

  Afonso I, also called AFONSO HENRIQUES, byname AFONSO THE CONQUEROR,Portuguese AFONSO O CONQUISTADOR (b. 1109/11, Guimarães, Port.--d. Dec.6, 1185, Coimbra), the first king of Portugal (1139-85), who conqueredSantarém and Lisbon from the Muslims (1147) and secured Portugueseindependence from Leon (1139).
  
  Alfonso VI, emperor of Leon, had granted the county of Portugal toAfonso's father, Henry of Burgundy, who successfully defended it againstthe Muslims (1095-1112). Henry married Alfonso VI's illegitimatedaughter, Teresa, who governed Portugal from the time of her husband'sdeath (1112) until her son Afonso came of age. Afonso was proclaimed soleruler of Portugal in 1128, but Teresa refused to cede her power toAfonso. His party prevailed in the Battle of São Mamede, near Guimarães(1128) and he defeated his mother's troops near Guimarães, making her atthe same time his prisoner. Though at first obliged as a vassal to submitto his cousin Alfonso VII of Leon, Afonso assumed the title of king in1139.
  
  He also vanquished Alphonso Raymond of Castile, his mother's ally, andthus freed Portugal from dependence on the crown of Leon. Next turninghis arms against the Moors, he obtained on July 26, 1139, the victory ofOurique, and immediately after was proclaimed king by his soldiers. Heasembled the Cortes of the kingdom at Lamego, where he received the crownfrom the archbishop of Braganza; the assembly also declared that Portugalwas no longer a dependency of Leon. Alphonso wrested from the MoorsSantarém in 1146, and in 1147 he further captured and, availing himselfof the services of passing crusaders, successfully laid siege to Lisbon.He carried his frontiers beyond the Tagus River, annexing Beja in 1162and Évora in 1165; in attacking Badajoz, he was taken prisoner but thenreleased. and in 1167 he was made prisoner by the soldiers of the king ofLeon, and was obliged to surrender as his ransom almost all the conquestshe had made in Galicia. In 1184, in spite of his great age, he had stillsufficient energy to relieve his son, Sancho, who was besieged inSantarém by the Moors. He died shortly after. He married Mafalda of Savoyand associated his son, Sancho I, with his power. By the time of hisdeath in 1185, he had created a stable and independent monarchy. Alphonsowas a man of gigantic stature, being, according to some authors, 7 ft.tall. He is revered as a saint by the Portuguese, both on account of hispersonal character and as the founder of their kingdom. [EncyclopaediaBritannica CD '97]

   Note: AMEDEE de Maurienne, son of HUMBERT II "le Renforcé" Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie & his wife Gisèle de Bourgogne [Comté] (Montmélian [1095]-Nicosia 30 Aug 1148). "Amedeus comes" donated property to Saint-Jean de Maurienne, for the soul of "patris sui Uberti comtis", with the consent of "Gisla matre et fratribus eius Guillelmo atque Umberto", by charter dated 21 Oct 1104, witnessed by "Odo de Camera et frater eius Amedeus, Esmio de Camera et frater eius Bernardus, Aymo de Bocsosello, Guillelmus de Rossilione"[178]. "Amedeus…comes et fratres mei, unacum genitrice nostra Gisla" donated property to the church of Belley, for the soul of "patris nostri Humberti comitis", by undated charter[179]. He succeeded in 1109 as AMEDEE III Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie. "Amedeus…comes et fratres mei, unacum genitrice nostra Gisla" donated property to the church of Belley "per nostros advocatos…comitem Aimonem Genevensem et Widonem de Mirabello", for the soul of "patris nostri Humberti comitis", by undated charter[180]. The emperor recognised his title as Count of the Holy Roman Empire in 1111. Comte Amedée arranged the marriage of his sister to Louis VI King of France, consolidating the close relations established by his father with France. Lay-abbot of Saint-Maurice d'Agaune, until 1116. "Guido Viennensis archiepiscopus" (who was his maternal uncle) addressed a letter to "nepoti suo Amedeo comiti" dated [1115][181]. "Amedeus filius quondam Humberti comitis" confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Santa Maria di Pinerolo by charter dated 1 Mar 1131, witnessed by "Humbertus de Buzosel et Aymo frater eius, Villelmus de Camera…"[182]. He recovered the county of Turin, lost by his father. "Comes Amedeus…cum uxore sua Adeleida comitissa" confirmed the rights of the monastery of "S. Justi in villa Volveria" by charter dated 27 Jul 1134, witnessed by "Umbertus de Bocsosello, Aimo de Brianzone…"[183]. "A. comes et marchio cum uxore sua M." donated property to the monastery of Ripalta, with the support of "eorum filio Umberto", by charter dated 9 Jan 1137[184]. "Palatinus Comes Amedeus" donated property to the monastery of Locedio "in terra Willelmi Marchionis fratris sui" [his uterine brother] by charter dated 30 Jul 1137[185]. "Amedeus comes et marchio" donated revenue from Conflens to the archbishop of Tarantasia by charter dated 28 Feb 1139[186]. "Dominus Amedeus comes et marchio et frater eius Raynaldus" granted rights to the archbishop of Tarantasia, with the consent of "Aymone vicecomite, fratribus suis Gunterio, Willienco, Aymerico", by charter dated to [1140][187]. The first known use of the white cross on a red background as the arms of the House of Savoy was in a charter dated 1143[188]. "Amedeus comes et marchio et Maies comitissa uxor eius et Umbertus eorum filius" donated property to the monastery of Saint-Maurice by charter dated 30 Mar 1143[189]. "Amedeus comes et marchio" confirmed donations to Saint-Sulpice en Bugey, for the soul of "filii mei Humberti", by charter dated to [1148], which also names "uxore mea Matildi", confirmed by "Aalasia comitissa de Bello Joco…cum filio meo Guichardo"[190]. "Amedeus comes et marchio et Majes comitissa uxor eius et Umbertus eorum filius" confirmed the rights of the monastery of Saint-Maurice d´Agaune by charter dated 30 Mar 1148[191]. He accompanied his nephew Louis VII King of France on crusade but died in Cyprus. The Continuator of Sigebert records that "Amadeus comes Maurianensis" died "in Cipro insula" in 1148[192]. m firstly ([1120/23]) ADELAIDE, daughter of --- (-after Jul 1134). "Comes Amedeus…cum uxore sua Adeleida comitissa" confirmed the rights of the monastery of "S. Justi in villa Volveria" by charter dated 27 Jul 1134, witnessed by "Umbertus de Bocsosello, Aimo de Brianzone…"[193]. Europäische Stammtafeln shows the single marriage of Comte Amedée III, to Mathilde d'Albon, in 1123[194]. Given the likely birth dates of Alix de Savoie, oldest daughter of Comte Amedée, and of Mathilde d'Albon (see below), it is unlikely that Mathilde was the mother of Alix. A first marriage of Comte Amedée is therefore highly probable. Palluel shows Comte Amedée III's first wife as Gertrude de Lorraine, daughter of Simon I Duke of Lorraine[195]. This can be dismissed as incorrect. Neither Europäische Stammtafeln[196] nor Poull[197] refers to any such daughter of Duke Simon. In addition, bearing in mind that Duke Simon himself was probably born in 1096[198], it is chronologically impossible for any daughter of his to have given birth to a child in [1123/25]. Her marriage date is estimated based on the estimated birth date of the couple's supposed elder daughter, Alix de Savoie, as shown below. The origin of Adelaide is unknown. However, according to Europäische Stammtafeln, her supposed daughter Alix was Dame de Châteauneuf-en-Valromey, de Virieu-le-Grand, et de Cordon-en-Bugey[199]. Further research to trace the ownership of these fiefdoms may provide clues about the origin of Adelaide. m secondly ([Jul 1134/1135]) MATHILDE d'Albon, daughter of GUIGUES [V] Comte d'Albon [Viennois] & his wife Regina [Matilda] --- ([1112/16]-after 30 Mar 1148). "A. comes et marchio cum uxore sua M." donated property to the monastery of Ripalta, with the support of "eorum filio Umberto", by charter dated 9 Jan 1137[200]. The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus records that "Amedeo…secundo, Mauriennæ comiti" married "Guigona Crassi filia"[201]. The identity of her father is clarified as the passage also names "Humbertus minor Crassi filius" and his appointment ot "archiepiscopatum Viennensem". Europäische Stammtafeln[202] shows a single marriage of Comte Amedée III, to Mathilde d'Albon, in 1123. It is more likely that Mathilde was his second wife, as explained above, especially if her likely birth date range is correct. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[203], Mathilde's parents were married in [1106-1110]. The same table shows that Mathilde's two brothers, Guigues and Humbert, were mentioned in 1110, indicating that the marriage must have taken place during the earlier part of this date range. A third child, Gersende d'Albon, must also have born during the early years of her parents' marriage as she herself gave birth to two sons before (or shortly after) the death of her husband in Oct 1129. Assuming all these dates are correct, the timescale is tight for the birth of a fourth child, Mathilde, before 1112 at the earliest. This would make it impossible for Mathilde to have been the mother of Comte Amedée's oldest daughter Alix. "Amedeus comes et marchio et Maies comitissa uxor eius et Umbertus eorum filius" donated property to the monastery of Saint-Maurice by charter dated 30 Mar 1143[204]. "Amedeus comes et marchio" confirmed donations to Saint-Sulpice en Bugey, for the soul of "filii mei Humberti", by charter dated to [1148], which also names "uxore mea Matildi", confirmed by "Aalasia comitissa de Bello Joco…cum filio meo Guichardo"[205]. "Amedeus comes et marchio et Majes comitissa uxor eius et Umbertus eorum filius" confirmed the rights of the monastery of Saint-Maurice d´Agaune by charter dated 30 Mar 1148[206]. Comte Amedée III & his first wife, Adelaide, had two children: 1. ALIX [Elise] de Savoie ([1123/25]-). 2. MATHILDE de Savoie ([1125] Comte Amedée III & his second wife, Matilde d'Albon, had seven children: 3. HUMBERT de Savoie (Avigliana 4 Aug 1136-Chambéry 4 Mar 1189, bur Abbaye de Hautecombe). 4. JEAN de Savoie (-Ranverso). 5. PIERRE de Savoie (-Ranverso). 6. GUILLAUME de Savoie (-after 1173). 7. AGNES de Savoie ([1136/45?]-before 1172). 8. MARGUERITE de Savoie (-after 1157). 9. JULIANE de Savoie (-31 Dec 1194).
