Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_I,_Marquess_of_Montferrat
Otto I (also Otho or Ottone; died 991) was the Marquess of Montferrat briefly following 
his father Aleram on the throne.

Otto was the son of Aleram and his first wife. Notably obscure, he did not appear with 
his parents and his younger brother Anselm at the foundation of the monastery of 
Grazzano in 961. On Aleram's death in 967, the large marca Aleramica was broken up: 
Montferrat went to Otto and Liguria to Anselm. Their elder brother William II had 
already deceased.

In his own lifetime, Otto does not appear in any document with the margravial title, but 
he appears in the documents of later generations cited as such. He appears in a 
confirmation of the possessions of the abbacy of Fruttuaria with the title in a 
patronymic. He probably never used the title in life, but his descendents retroactively 
applied it to him, as he held the same post as they.

Otto died in 991, as known by the foundation act of his son for the monastery of 
Spigno, which Otto himself had planned on building.[1] By his unnamed wife, he left 
two sons: an eldest named William, who succeeded him, and younger named 
Riprando. He also left two daughters, Otta and Waldrada (Gualderada).
