Beatrice of Savoy (v. 1198 – v. 1267)[1] was the daughter of Thomas I of Savoy and 
Margaret of Geneva. She was Countess consort of Provence by her marriage to 
Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Provence.
Family[edit]

Her paternal grandparents were Humbert III, Count of Savoy, and Beatrice of 
Viennois. Her maternal grandparents were William I, Count of Geneva and Beatrice de 
Faucigny. Beatrice of Savoy's mother, Margaret was betrothed to Philip II of France. 
While Margaret was travelling to France for her wedding, she was captured by 
Beatrice's father, Thomas. He took her back to Savoy and married her himself. 
Thomas' excuse was that Philip II was already married, which was true.

Beatrice was the tenth of fourteen children born to her parents. Her siblings included: 
Amadeus IV, Count of Savoy; Thomas II of Piedmont; Peter II, Count of Savoy; Philip 
I, Count of Savoy; Boniface of Savoy, Archbishop of Canterbury; Avita the Countess
