Genève
The County of Geneva was a lordship centred on Annecy, distinct from the city of Geneva, which its bishops governed. In 1337 Count Amadeus III belonged to the House of Geneva and served the neighbouring Savoyard court.
His son Robert became the antipope Clement VII in 1378 and inherited the county in 1392; his death in 1394 ended the House of Geneva. Odo of Thoire-Villars sold the county to Amadeus VIII of Savoy in 1401, and Emperor Sigismund raised Savoy to a duchy in 1416.
