https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelaide_of_Savoy,_Duchess_of_Swabia
Adelaide of Savoy (German: Adelheid von Turin; c.1050/2 - 1079),[1] a member of the 
Burgundian House of Savoy, was Duchess of Swabia from about 1062 until 1079 by 
her marriage with Rudolf of Rheinfelden, who also was elected German anti-king in 
1077.
Biography[edit]

Adelaide’s parents were Count Otto of Savoy and his wife Adelaide of Susa from the 
Arduinici noble family. Her maternal grandparents were Margrave Ulric Manfred II of 
Turin and Bertha of Milan. Adelaide was the younger sister of Bertha of Savoy, who 
was betrothed to the future king Henry IV of Germany in 1055.

According to the Europäische Stammtafeln genealogy, she first was married to Count 
Guigues I of Albon, though this assumption seems highly unlikely. Actually Adelaide, 
around 1060/62 and aged about ten, married the Swabian duke Rudolf of 
Rheinfelden.

In 1069 Rudolf attempted to repudiate Adelaide for an alleged affair with Count 
Werner of Habsburg.[2] In 1071 Adelaide cleared herself of the accusation of adultery 
in the presence of Pope Alexander II. Rudolf was required to reconcile with Adelaide.
[3] At the same time, Henry IV attempted to repudiate her sister Bertha, also without 
success.

In 1077, an assembly of revolting German princes elected Rudolf anti-king. He was 
crowned by Archbishop Siegfried I of Mainz on March 26, with Adelaide as his 
consort. The Great Saxon Revolt broke out and Adelaide died during the Easter period 
of 1079, apart from her husband at Hohentwiel Castle.

Adelaide was buried in the monastery of St. Blasien.
