Anselm I of Savona

Anselm I (died 998) was the eldest surviving son of the Frankish marquis Aleramo, by his first wife Adelasia. Succeeding his father as marquis of the whole Aleramic march, he held Savona and Montferrat before the latter passed to his brother Otto. A placitum of 983 records him as marquis at Otto III’s court in Ravenna, under Empress Adelaide’s regency.

He married Gisla of Milan and founded the Anselmian line of the Aleramici, whose branches included Savona, Del Vasto and Sezzadio; his son Anselm II inherited Savona.
