Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manfred_II,_Marquess_of_Saluzzo
Manfred II (1140–1215) was the second marquess of Saluzzo from his father's death in 
1175 to his own. He was the son of Manfred I and Eleanor. He placed the capital of 
the margravate definitively in Saluzzo.

He married Azalaïs of Montferrat before 1182, forming an alliance with one of the most 
powerful dynasties in northern Italy.

Manfred expanded the march and fought against the expansionism of the neighbouring 
counts of Savoy. After several minor skirmishes, the two principalities came to terms in 
1213 and peace was established for the final two years of his life. Since his eldest son 
Boniface had predeceased him in 1212, he was succeeded by his grandson, Manfred 
III, under the regency of Azalaïs. She had to pay tribute on behalf of young Manfred, 
and for the next century, Saluzzo was a vassal of Savoy.

Family[edit]

He had at least five children with her:
Agnes, married Comita III of Torres
Boniface (the heir, who predeceased his father), married Maria, daughter of 
aforementioned Comita. They were the parents of Manfred II's successor, Manfredo III 
of Saluzzo
Margaret, married Geoffrey de Salvaing
(unnamed daughter), married Marquis William II of Ceva
Thomas

He also fathered an illegitimate son, Bastardino.
