Editing Humbert III, Count of Savoy (section)

==Marriages==
Amadeus III was a pilgrim in the Holy Land in 1122. He went there through the offices of [[Pope Callixtus II]], and in 1146 he participated in the [[Second Crusade]], and died on the island of Cyprus in [[Nicosia]] on 1 April 1148, where he was buried, leaving the twelve-year-old Humbert as heir. Although still at an early age, in 1151 Humbert was betrothed to [[Faidiva of Toulouse|Faidiva]], daughter of [[Alphonse Jourdain]], Count of Toulouse. She soon died without issue. He later married [[Gertrude of Flanders, Countess of Savoy|Gertrude]], daughter of [[Thierry, Count of Flanders]] and [[Sibylla of Anjou]]. This second marriage was annulled.

In 1164, Humbert married [[Clementia of Zähringen]],{{sfn|Previte-Orton|1912|p=329}} by whom he had two daughters: Alice and Sofia. She died in 1173, and he decided to retire to [[Hautecombe Abbey|Hautecombe]], but not for long. In 1177, the nobility convinced him to marry for the fourth time. As a wife, he took [[Beatrice of Viennois|Beatrice]], daughter [[List of counts of Mâcon#Comtal house of Burgundy|Géraud I of Mâcon]]{{sfn|Previte-Orton|1912|p=345}} and Maurette de Salins. They had a son, [[Thomas, Count of Savoy|Thomas]], to continue the dynasty. Beatrice also bore him a daughter who died at the age of seven.
