  General Notes:

Weis' Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists Who Came to America before 1700, 8th Edition, 28:31, 275D:28 ¹⁶⁰, 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 Anna of Bourgogne, daughter of Hugues III, Duc de Bourgogne.
