Béatrice de Faucigny

Béatrice de Faucigny (1234–1310), called the Great Dauphine, was the only child of Peter II of Savoy and Agnès of Faucigny. She married Guigues VII, dauphin of Viennois, before 1253 and inherited Faucigny in 1268. Widowed in 1269, she ruled the Dauphiné as regent for her son Jean, and was captured with him and freed that November.

She married Gaston VII of Béarn in 1273. She later gave Faucigny to her grandson Hugues and died at Mélan in 1310.
