Editing Peter II, Count of Savoy (section)

==Marriage and issue==
Peter's marriage was to [[Agnes of Faucigny]] in 1236.{{sfn|Pollock|2015|p=208}}Agnes was the daughter of Aymon II de Faucigny and Béatrice d'Auxonne. The marriage brought the House of Savoy increasing influence in [[Faucigny]] which lay south east of [[Geneva]] and had hitherto been within the sphere of influence of the [[Count of Geneva]]. It also brought influence within the [[Free County of Burgundy]] through his mother-in-law Béatrice. The subsequent marriage of Béatrice d'Auxonne to [[Simon de Joinville]] extended Peter's influence further to include their children [[Geoffrey de Geneville, 1st Baron Geneville]], whom Peter introduced to the English court, and Simon de Joinville, the Seigneur de [[Gex, Ain|Gex]].<ref name="Marshall, John 2023"/>

They had one daughter, [[Beatrice of Savoy, Dame of Faucigny|Beatrice]],{{efn|Beatrice would marry firstly Count [[Guigues VII of Viennois]] and secondly [[Viscount]] [[Gaston VII of Béarn]].}} who inherited Faucigny from her mother. The marriage alliance with the County of Albon, also known as the Dauphiné, whilst advantageous at the time, created long term problems for the County of Savoy when Albon became a part of [[France]]. This created a French claim to [[Faucigny]] whose territory lay in the middle of Savoy.{{sfn|Cox|1967|p=21}}
