Humbert V. (Chevron)
Humbert V. von Chevron , also Humbert von Villette , († between 1361 and 1367) was a nobleman from Savoy and lord of the castle Chevron in the parish of Mercury ( Combe de Savoie ). He exercised, among other things, the office of bailiff ( bailli ) in Chablais and the vicarage of Sion in Valais .
Life
Humbert came from the old Savoy and now French noble family of the Chevron-Villette . His year of birth is unknown. He was the son of Humbert IV of Chevron-Villette, the Savoy bailiff in Bugey and Novalaise , and owned the dominions of Chevron, Villette, Giez, Thénésol, Bonvillard and Rovagny. He married Amphelisia, the daughter of the vicarage of Sitten Petrus von Aigle , and Jeannette von Blonay . His son Pierre later also became vice chairman of Sion.
Humbert V von Chevron had a career in the administration of the land of the Counts of Savoy. In 1319 and then again from 1328 to 1330 he was the Savoy bailiff in the large Chablais area , which stretched south of Lake Geneva from the Arve Valley to the Rhone Valley and was administered from Chillon Castle . In between and again from 1340 to 1343 he served as Kastlan of Évian and Féternes . In the service of the Count of Savoy he fought in the war between Savoy and the Dauphiné from 1334-1335 , in which the ancestral castle of Châteauvieux of the Chevron family was destroyed.
In 1343, after the death of his father-in-law, Humbert was able to take over the vice-dominate of Sitten, Siders , Raron and Visp and swore the oath of loyalty to the bishop of Sitten Witschard Tavel . The office of victum ( vice-dominus ) von Sitten, the secular representative of the clerical sovereign, remained in the hands of the Chevron Villette until the 16th century, who played an important role beyond the late Middle Ages up to Nicolas von Chevron († 1578) played in Valais history.
As an additional rule, Humbert V von Chevron received the barony of Faucigny south of Geneva in 1355 , which had been ceded by France to Savoy in that year , and the castl of Beaufort in Savoy.
Margerita, the daughter of Humbert and Amphelisia von Chevron Villette, married Humbert († 1374), the son of Count Aymon of Savoy .
