Guigues III of Albon

Guigues III, called the Old (c. 1050–1133), ruled as count of Albon from 1079, when the County of Vienne was split between him and Humbert I of Savoy. From the Grésivaudan north of Grenoble he long disputed church estates with Hugh of Châteauneuf, bishop of Grenoble. An accord in 1099 had Guigues return church lands, while Hugh recognised the count's authority around the city.

In 1095 he married Matilda. The 1129 partition of the Viennois with Amadeus III of Savoy enlarged his lands, and on his death in 1133 his son Guigues IV inherited the county.
