https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_I,_Count_of_Savoy
Otto (French: Odon, Oddon, Othon); Italian: Oddone; c.?1023 – c.?1057/1060)[1] was 
count of Savoy from around 1051 until his death. Through marriage to Adelaide, the 
heiress of Ulric Manfred II, he also administered the march of Susa from around 1046 
until his death.
Family[edit]

He was a younger son of Humbert the White-Handed and his wife Ancilla of Lenzburg. 
Through Humbert's service to the German emperors, the family was granted the 
counties of Maurienne, Aosta and Sapaudia (Savoy), all at the expense of local 
bishops or archbishops. Otto inherited the family's realms after the death of his brother 
Amadeus c.?1051.[2]

In 1046, he married Adelaide, heiress of the march of Susa and county of Turin.[3] 
They had five children:
Peter (d.1078)
Amadeus (d.1080)
Otto[4]
Bertha (d.1087), wife of Henry IV of Germany
Adelaide (d.1080), married Rudolf of Swabia

Rule[edit]

Through his marriage to Adelaide, Otto obtained extensive possessions in northern 
Italy. Thereafter, the House of Savoy concentrated their expansion efforts towards 
Italy instead of north of the Alps as they had done before. Savoy's lands occupied 
much of modern Savoy and Piedmont, although several other small states could be 
found between them. In the 1050s, Otto allowed coins to be minted at Aiguebelle. The 
archbishop of Vienne, Léger, who had sole right of minting in the region, complained 
to Pope Leo IX, so Otto forbade further coining at Aiguebelle.[5]
