• Notes

  Humbert III (b. 1135 - d. 1189), surnamed the Blessed, was Count of Sav o y f r o m 1 148 to 1189. According to Cope, "Humbert III, who reigned from 1 1 4 9 t o 1 1 89...was a man of irresolute spirit who was disconsolate at b e i n g b o rn a prince and preferred the seclusion of a monestery. He only r e n o u n ced his chosen state of celibacy so as to give his land an heir." H i s f i r s t wife died young; his second marriage ended in divorce. Humbert g a v e u p a n d became a Carthusian monk. However, the nobles and common peo p l e o f S a voy begged him to marry yet again, which he reluctantly did. T h i s t h i rd wife gave him two more daughters, and Humbert attempted to re t u r n t o t he monastic life yet again. Finally he was prevailed upon to m a r r y f o r a fourth time, and this wife, Beatrice, produced the son who w o u l d u l timately succeed him.
