Editing Amadeus VI, Count of Savoy (section)

==Marriage and children==
Throughout his youth, negotiations took place for him to marry a royal bride. In 1338, he was engaged to [[Margaret of Bohemia, Queen of Hungary|Margaret of Bohemia]], three-year-old daughter of [[Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor]]. From 1340 to 1344, he was betrothed to [[Joanna of Bourbon]], niece of [[Philip VI of France]]. This marriage would have come with a dowry of fifty thousand florins.{{sfn|Cox|1967|p=57}} In 1347, he renounced that engagement, and became engaged instead to Joan of Burgundy, daughter of [[Philip II, Count of Auvergne|Philip of Burgundy]] and [[Joan I, Countess of Auvergne]]. This would have placed Amadeus as heir to her brother, [[Philip I, Duke of Burgundy]].{{sfn|Cox|1967|pp=60–61}} The three-year-old heiress was brought to the court of Savoy to be raised. In the summer of 1351, Amadeus sent to [[Edward III of England]], seeking to marry his daughter, [[Isabella of England, Lady of Coucy|Isabella]]. This petition was protested by Amadeus of Geneva. Joan remained at the court until 18 April 1355, when she was sent to a convent in Poissy to live out her life.{{sfn|Cox|1967|pp=79–80, 105}}
