  === Life Sketch ===
  Amon or Aimone I st Geneva , who died in 1128 , was the Count of Geneva Note 1 from 1080 to 1128. He is the son of Gerold, Count of Geneva and Thetberge / Thietburge.
  
  «b»Biography
  Origins«/b»
  Aymon or Aimon Note 2 is the first earl of the Geroldian dynasty to be well known.
  
  He is first mentioned in an act of 1080 with his parentage, his father Count Gérold and his half-brother Conon, to whom he succeeded. This deed is a donation to the parish church of Saint-Marcel, in the Albanian, given by his parents to the abbey of Ainay twenty years earlier. This policy of support for the Church continued during his reign with in particular the support for the foundation of a priory at Saint-Innocent, on the shores of Lac du Bourget , in 1084.
  
  In 1090, an act of confirmation mentions Ita or Ida de Faucigny as wife of Count Aymon.
  
  The count gives, towards 1091, the valley of Chamonix, "the whole extent of country included between the torrent of Diosaz , the Mont-Blanc and the collar of Balme, consisting of arable land, forests, pastures and hunts", to the Benedictine monks of the abbey of Saint-Michel-de-la-Cluse, located in Piedmont. His mother, Thietburge, could be the daughter of Rudolph of Rheinfelden. She had the first husband Lord Louis I st of Faucigny, Amon has stepbrothers lordWilliam I st and Guy, Bishop of Geneva (1083-1119). This is the reason why we find its last two as witnesses of the founding act of the abbey.
  
  It is referred to the death of Count Umberto II, around 1103, as a board member Count with the young Count Amadeus III alongside the Countess of Savoy, Gisele of Burgundy, the bishop of Maurienne, Conon I er , probably his relative and the great lord Guy de Miribel.
  
  «b»Conflict with the Bishop of Geneva«/b»
  The count's power at this period competed with the ecclesiastics who are found in particular in the appointments, thus opposing the Gregorian reform which was being put in place. The count takes advantage that the episcopal see is in the hands of his half-brother Guy de Faucigny to monopolize part of the rights of the diocese of Geneva as attorney, or even according to Pierre Duparc by abusing his power to "appropriate, in an even more direct way, Church goods, episcopal revenues, churches or tithes ". Aymon continues by imposing his power on the city by building a castle in the upper town, thus dominating Bourg-de-Four and the eastern gate of the city. The castle will also be mentioned for the first time in the Seyssel agreement.
  
  Faced with the assertion of county power, the new bishop of Geneva, Humbert de Grammont , vigorously opposed. The prelate demands the return of all the goods that the count has taken from the Church. He ends up excommunicating Count . The conflict between the two powerful is settled during an agreement or treaty signed at Seyssel in 1124, probably mid-December. Indeed, the count Aymon goes to meet the bishop who returns from Vienna and this one is done at the level of this city. This treaty provides for the abandonment of the count's temporal claims on the city of Geneva in favor of the bishop. The count only keeps the castle of Bourg-de-Four. In return, he obtains certain rights and property from the bishop in county. The conflict is not over, however, and Aymon's successors will still be in conflict with the episcopal power of Geneva, which will not find an end until 1219.
  
  «b»Family«/b»
  Son of Count Gérold and Thetberge de Rheinfelden. The latter was a widow first wife of Lord Louis I st Faucigny . Thus, its brothers uterine William I st and the Bishop of Geneva, Guy Faucigny. He is also mentioned as a nephew of Conon I, bishop of Maurienne.
  
  Amon wife (c. 1090 eRW 4 or 1095) It (t) or Ida has for each of Faucigny, probably daughter of Louis I er , lord of Faucigny 17 and his wife Thetberge, making it her half-sister, for others, notably Frédéric Charles Jean Gingins de la Sarraz , she would belong to the de Glâne. Pierre Duparcnotes, in his work on the county of Geneva, that "The origin of his wife Ita is still unknown; it does not seem in particular that it came from the family of Faucigny, nor that of Glâne ", due to the absence of convincing sources for one or the other hypothesis.
  
  «b»Aymon and Ita have three children:«/b»
  1.) Gérold (v. 1090 ReG 4 95? - 1154?)
  
  2.) Lecerina / Laure (1096 - 1140), who married Guillaume-Hugues II, lord of Montélimar ( alias Guillaume-Hugues de Royans, lord of Monteil, from the Adhémar family )
