Amadeus I (Savoy)
Amadeus I of Savoy (called: the tail ; * around 1030 ; † 1051 ) was Count of Savoy from 1048 to 1051 .
He was the eldest son of Count Humbert I and the Anzilla von Lenzburg. He married Adelheid (also Adila or Adelegida).
He was nicknamed Tail because he appeared with a large entourage.
He had three children
- Humbert († before 1051)
- Aymon († 1060), Bishop of Belley
- Thiberge ⚭ 1) around 1053 Ludwig I († 1060) Lord of Faucigny, ⚭ 2) Gérold II. († 1080), Count of Geneva.
His eldest son and heir had already died when he died, so his youngest brother Otto succeeded him as Count of Savoy.
