Oddon
de Savoie
Biographical
Documentation makes mention
of another probable son
of Amédée II referred to as Oddon II, Count of Maurienne, in the year
1082. He has been considered by some to be Amédée II's younger brother
Oddon (bishop of Asti), who in this case, displaced his child-nephew Humbert
II for a time. That this latter Oddon was living up to 1091 seems proved
by the fact that there are no donations made by his mother, the Countess
Adelaide, for his soul, such as exist for her other sons. But, if he remained
in secular life, it is not likely that he should not take part in some
of the grants or have his obituary as Oddo comes recorded. Others have
instead considered him to be Amédée II's eldest son and successor in his
Burgundian lands.
Son of Amédée II de Savoie and Jeanne de Genève.
