Amadeus IV Comte de Savoy

  General Notes:

Weis" "Ancestral Roots. . ." (28:31).
Amadeus succeeded his father as Count of Savoy upon his death in 1233 and
ruled until his own death in 1253. There is little record of of note
accomplished during his tenure. His son, Bonifacio Roland succeeded him as
count from 1253 to 1263, but little is said of his accomplishments either.
The county then went to Amadeus' brother, Peter II (1263-1268), who was known
as "Little Charlemagne", and then to the next brother, Philip (1268-1285).
Peter aggressively expanded Savoy's influence in the tradition of his father
and Philip was one most powerful rulers in Europe.

Amadeus married Marguerite Anne de Bourgogne, daughter of Hugues III Duc de Bourgogne and Beatrix de Vienne comtesse d'Albon, about 1222. (Marguerite Anne de Bourgogne was born in 1192 and died in 1242.)
