Burchard left Aosta and apparently went to Lyon to seize power, installing
himself as archbishop there. He submitted to Conrad II in 1034, but he
did not enjoy the emperor's favour, and in 1036, he was captured and imprisoned,
losing his archbishopric. The precise reason for his downfall is not certain.
He was probably pardoned in 1038.
Son of Humbert I de Savoie and Auxilia.
