Beatrice del Monferrato

Beatrice del Monferrato (c. 1142–1228), daughter of William V, Marquess of Montferrat, and Judith of Babenberg, married in 1155 Guigues V, Count of Albon, who died in 1162.

Around 1165 her cousin Frederick Barbarossa gave the widow to Enrico I del Carretto, called il Guercio, marquess of Savona; their children included Ottone and Enrico II. Widowed again in 1185, she returned to Montferrat, where around 1197 the troubadour Raimbaut de Vaqueiras made her the subject of several songs. She died in 1228.
