Notes: Aimone is the current representative of the most noble house of Savoy. Count Humbert I, known as "the Whitehanded" (d. about 1050) was the first of the house to gain distinction, being granted Savoy and some other areas south of Lake Geneva and west of the Alps by the Holy Roman Emperor. Since his time the family has prospered, through careful management, judicious marriages, and occasional war having acquired title to Piedmont and sundry other lands, so that they are now as much Italian princes as French or Imperial ones. The count is well connected, having a sister married to the Byzantine Emperor Andronicus III, and is thus related by marriage to the Marquis of Montferrat, the emperor's paternal uncle. He is a skilled man, much devoted to his house.
