Amadeus II of Savoy

Amadeus II (c. 1050–1080) ruled the County of Savoy from 1078, succeeding his father Otto I. His short reign is poorly documented and was overshadowed by his formidable mother, Adelaide of Susa, who held real power, though he kept good relations with papacy and emperor.

His wife, possibly a daughter of Count Gerold of Geneva, bore him his successor Humbert II. When Amadeus died on 26 January 1080, Adelaide took direct control of the Savoyard lands.
