     "Boles?aw II Rogatka or Boles?aw II the Horned (Polish: Boles?aw II Rogatka), known also as Boles?aw II the Bald, (Polish: Boles?aw II ?ysy) (c. 1220/5 – 26/31 December 1278), a member of the Silesian Piasts, was High Duke of Poland briefly in 1241 and Duke of Silesia at Wroc?aw from 1241 until 1248, when the duchy was divided between him and his brothers. After the partition, he ruled the Silesian Duchy of Legnica until his death. The second Mongol raid against Poland, led by Nogai Khan, occurred during his reign.
Life
     "Boles?aw was the eldest son of the Polish high duke Henry II the Pious by his wife Anna, a daughter of the P?emyslid king Ottokar I of Bohemia. His paternal grandparents were Henry the Bearded and (later Saint) Hedwig of Silesia. Among his younger siblings were Mieszko (died 1242), Henry III the White (d. 1266), Konrad II (d. 1274), W?adys?aw, and Elisabeth, who married her Piast cousin Duke Przemys? I of Greater Poland.
Beginning of his reign and fight over the Greater Polish inheritance
     "Boles?aw succeeded as Duke of Silesia after his father, Henry II the Pious, was killed in the Battle of Legnica on 9 April 1241, fighting against the Mongol invaders led by Batu Khan. At the time, he and his immediate younger brother Mieszko were the only heirs who had reached majority. Their mother Anna helped them during the transition; some sources even call this period a regency. The Mongol forces conquered most of Silesia, but then withdrew to Hungary.
     "After Henry's death, the Silesian Piasts were not able to maintain their supremacy in the Polish lands. Boles?aw's inheritance, including the Southern Greater Polish estates and the Lesser Polish Seniorate Province was threatened by neighboring Piast dukes. By July 1241, his cousin Konrad I of Masovia tried to take over the Polish throne at Kraków. The local nobles, led by the Kraków governor Clement of Ruszczy, strongly resisted but eventually had to yield to Konrad's superior forces. Disappointed by Boles?aw's lack of action, they turned their support to Boles?aw V the Chaste, who ascended the Kraków throne in 1243.
     "There was a similar situation in Greater Poland: after hearing the news of the defeat of Henry II in Legnica, Duke Przemys? I and his brother Boles?aw the Pious retook the estates of Kalisz which once had been ruled by their father, the late Duke W?adys?aw Odonic. The local nobility supported them as the true heirs to those lands. Boles?aw decided to avoid a fight and renounced all his Greater Poland lands. He tried to retain some districts, such as Santok and Mi?dzyrzecz, but in 1247 the Dukes of Greater Poland ultimately forced Boles?aw to resign all his rights to lands in Greater Poland.
First division of Lower Silesia
     "When in 1242, Boles?aw next oldest brother Mieszko died suddenly without leaving an heir, his Lubusz estates reverted to Boles?aw and his younger brothers became co-rulers of the Lower Silesian lands. When his brother Henry III the White came of age in 1247, however, he and his younger brothers revolted against Boles?aw and even were able to imprison him shortly thereafter.
     "To regain freedom, Boles?aw signed an agreement with Henry III, dividing the Lower Silesian lands of Legnica and Wroc?aw. To avoid further fragmentation, the two pledged to offer hospitality to their minor brothers, Boles?aw to Konrad II, and Henry to W?adys?aw. Boles?aw, as the eldest, got first choice of the districts, and he chose the Legnica estates, possibly because of the gold discovery in the Kaczawa and Wierzbiak Rivers.
Boles?aw II, Duke of Legnica
     "Boles?aw soon regretted his choice and tried to recover Wroc?aw. Henry III refused to surrender his new duchy, and war was inevitable. Both began preparing for battle, but didn't have adequate funds. Boles?aw sought allies among the Ascanian relatives of his wife Hedwig, daughter of Count Henry I of Anhalt. Archbishop Wilbrand of Magdeburg contributed funds after Boles?aw sold half of Lubusz Land to him.
     "The German aid only gave Boles?aw a temporary advantage in the war against his brother. In 1249 his younger brother and co-ruler Konrad II unexpectedly returned to the country (after concluding his studies in Paris). Boles?aw proposed him as Bishop of Passau, however, Konrad refused and began to press his own claims in Silesia. Boles?aw opposed him, and the young prince took refuge at the court of the Dukes of Greater Poland, Boles?aw's long-time enemy. Shortly after, Konrad reinforced his bonds with Duke Przemys? I after a double marriage: the Duke of Greater Poland married Konrad's sister Elizabeth, and Konrad married Duke Przemys?'s sister, Salome.
     "The final clash occurred two years later, when the Boles?aw was defeated by the combined forces of Przemys? I and Henry III the White, who supported Konrad. In 1251 Boles?aw finally agreed to the divide his own lands and ceded the Duchy of G?ogów to Konrad. Boles?aw only retained the small district of Legnica proper.
Conflict with Bishop Thomas of Wroc?aw
     "It took Boles?aw another two years and the help of his brother Henry III to recover full authority over his principality. Boles?aw made some agreements with the other Piast dukes, especially with the princes of Greater Poland and with Thomas I, Bishop of Wroc?aw. However, Boles?aw never forgave the bishop for his tendency to support the younger princes.
     "Boles?aw's conflict with the Bishop of Wroc?aw reached a more critical point in 1257, when the Boles?aw incarcerated the Bishop at Wle? Castle. Boles?aw was immediately excommunicated. His brothers quickly intervened and negotiated a settlement. In 1261, Boles?aw's paid a large tribute and paid public penance at the gates of in Wroc?aw Cathedral. He had been excommunicated twice before, in 1248 and 1249, and a call had been issued to the neighboring nobility to a crusade against him. He was later forgiven by the Bishop, and both of the previous excommunications were rescinded.
     "Boles?aw also remained in hostile relations with his brother Duke Konrad of G?ogów. In 1257 Konrad kidnapped Boles?aw from his castle in Legnica. The duke regained his freedom a few months later. In 1271 Boles?aw took the town of Boles?awiec, near Bóbr.
Abduction of Henry IV and Battle of Stolec
     "In the 1270s, Boles?aw gave more and more power to his adolescent sons. In 1273 he granted the Duchy of Jawor to his oldest son Henry V and it seemed that Boles?aw had resigned from adventurous politics. Nevertheless, in 1277, he signed an alliance with the Habsburg king Rudolph I of Germany, straining the alliance of the other Piast dukes with rivalling King Ottokar II of Bohemia. At Rudolph's insistence, Boles?aw kidnapped Ottokar's ally, Duke Henry IV of Wroc?aw, Boles?aw's nephew, and demanded one-third of Wroc?aw after the death of his uncle W?adys?aw, Boles?aw's youngest brother, in 1270. Henry IV was imprisoned in Legnica Castle.
     "A coalition was formed between Ottokar II, Duke Henry III of G?ogów, and Duke Przemys? II of Greater Poland, but it soon failed: while Boles?aw's forces were greatly outnumbered at the bloody battle of Stolec, his son Henry V turned the tide and the allied dukes were defeated. A settlement was reached; Henry IV was freed and Boles?aw was given one-third of the Duchy of ?roda ?l?ska.
     "Boles?aw II died between 26 and 31 December 1278 and was buried at the Dominican monastery of his Legnica residence. His three sons, Henry V the Fat, Bolko I and Bernhard, inherited his lands.
Marriage and Children
     "In 1242, Boles?aw married firstly Hedwig (d. 21 December 1259), daughter of Henry I, Count of Anhalt. They had seven children:
     "In 1261, Boles?aw married secondly Euphemia (also called Alenta or Iolanta or Adelheid) (born c. 1245 - died c. 15 February 1309), daughter of Sambor II, Duke of Pomerania.
     "Around 1270, he began living with his mistress Sophia of Dyhrn. She bore him a son, Jaros?aw, who died in infancy. Gravely ill and deeply offended by her husband's affair, Euphemia fled to her homeland in Pomerania in 1275. Their marriage was considered annulled. In 1277 Boles?aw finally married his mistress, but the union lasted only a few months until the Duke's death in 1278. Euphemia returned to Silesia after Boles?aw's death.[1]

; Per Genealogics:
     "Boleslaw II, known as 'the Bald' or 'the Horned', was born between 1220 and 1225, the son of Henryk II 'the Pious', Herzog von Schlesien-Krakow und Grosspolen, and Anna of Bohemia. In contrast to his father, Boleslaw did not have to wait long to start his reign; on 9 April 1241 at the Battle of Legnica against the Mongols, his father was killed after reigning for only three years. At that time, of Henryks's five sons only Boleslaw and his immediate younger brother Mieszko could be considered adults and capable of ruling without a regency. However their mother helped them during the first difficult months of their rule. Nevertheless Boleslaw formally began his personal reign that year, though not with notable success.
     "The Mongols, after conquering considerable areas of Silesia, soon withdrew to Hungary, but for Boleslaw the situation was far from easy. His inheritance included the southern Greater Poland and Krakow, but revolts soon erupted, initiated by other Piast dukes who wanted these lands. By July 1241 Konrad I, Herzog von Masovien, the eternal pretender to Krakow, appeared in Lesser Poland. The ensuing war did not end in Boleslaw's complete defeat, thanks to the effective resistance against the Masovians organised by the governor of Krakow, Clement of Ruszczy; however the complete inaction of Boleslaw disappointed the nobility, who quickly found a new candidate for the Krakow throne in Boleslaw V 'the Chaste', duke of Poland. In Greater Poland the situation was not very different. After hearing the news of the defeat and death of Henryk II at Legnica, Przemyslaw I, duke of Greater Poland, and his brother Boleslaw 'the Pious', duke of Kalisch and Poland, decided to retake the territory once belonging to their father Wladimir Odonicz, duke of Poland. The Greater Poland nobility and knighthood strongly supported them, because they viewed the brothers to be the true heirs of these lands. Boleslaw II decided to avoid a fight at this time and he renounced all his lands in Greater Poland, though he obtained territories including Santok and Miedzyrzecz in exchange. However the uncompromising attitude of the Greater Poland dukes, and the increasing problems this caused in the family, ultimately forced Boleslaw II to resign these lands in 1247 and with them all his pretensions over Greater Poland.
     "Boleslaw initially did not intend to make a division of his father's Silesian duchy, and wanted to concentrate all the power in his hands. In 1242, after the unexpected death of his next brother Mieszko (who had received Lubusz as a duchy) without issue, his lands reverted to Boleslaw. His resistance to sharing the government with his younger brothers led to revolts against him; shortly after, the young Silesian princes were able to imprison their older brother. These incidents let Boleslaw, until the end of his life, to be very wary of further threats to his rule. As an interim response to the revolts, Boleslaw reached an agreement with his brother Henryk III in 1247, whom he declared co-ruler of Silesia. The cooperation between the brothers was not strong, and a year later they decided to make a division of the territories of Legnica-Glogów-Lubusz and Wroclaw. In addition, the brothers pledged to offer up territories to their younger brothers, Boleslaw to Konrad I, and Henryk to Wladislaw (the future elector-archbishop of Passau and Salzburg). Boleslaw, as the older brother, had the opportunity to choose his territory; he decided on Legnica, because gold had been found there in the Kaczawa and Wierzbiak Rivers.
     "The choice of Legnica may also have been dictated by the growing conflict between Boleslaw and the powerful Wroclaw nobility, a problem Henryk managed to avoid when he took control over the duchy soon after. Boleslaw soon began to regret his choice and tried to recover Wroclaw. Henryk III understandably refused to give up his new duchy voluntarily. An outbreak of war was only a matter of time.
     "Henryk and Boleslaw began their preparations for war, but both lacked adequate funds. In these circumstances the common practice was to seek allies. In 1242 Boleslaw had married Hedwig von Anhalt, daughter of Heinrich I, Fürst von Anhalt, and Irmgard von Thüringen, and hence the niece of the landgraves of Thüringen. He decided to use these family connections to find allies in his fight against his brother. The price for troops set by the archbishop of Magdeburg was half of Lubusz, which then passed to Brandenburg, to which Magdeburg belonged at the time.
     "Of the seven children of Boleslaw and Hedwig, Agnes, Henryk V, Jadwiga and Bolko I would have progeny.
     "The German assistance only gave Boleslaw temporary advantage in the war against his brother. In 1249 his younger brother Konrad unexpectedly returned to the country (after concluding his studies in Paris), and Boleslaw attempted unsuccessfully to convince him to enter the Church. He proposed him as bishop of Passau, but Konrad refused and began to mount his own claims to Silesia. Boleslaw refused them, so the young prince took refuge at the court of Boleslaw's long-time enemies, the dukes of Greater Poland. Shortly after, Konrad reinforced his bonds with Przemyslaw I, duke of Greater Poland, after a double marriage: Przemyslaw with Konrad's sister Elisabeth, and Konrad with Przemyslaw's sister Salomea. The final clash occurred two years later, when Boleslaw II was defeated by the combined forces of his brother-in-law Przemysl I and his brother Henryk III, who supported the pretensions of his brother Konrad. Boleslaw was finally forced to agree to the division of his own lands and give Glogów to Konrad. After this the elder duke of the Silesian branch only retained the small territory of Legnica.
     "Boleslaw needed only two years and the help of Henryk III (who eventually decided to give him his support) to recover full authority over his duchy in 1253. However the co-operation between Boleslaw and Henryk III did not last, and the eventual struggles for dominance led to major clashes. During this time Boleslaw reached some accommodations with the other Piast dukes, especially with the princes of Greater Poland and with Thomas I, bishop of Wroclaw, though Boleslaw never forgave the bishop for always supporting his younger brothers in their disputes with him.
     "Boleslaw's conflict with the bishop of Wroclaw reached a critical point in 1257, when Boleslaw decided to dismiss him and imprison him in the castle of Wlen. It is not known if Boleslaw wanted thereby take control over the local Church, but the immediate and direct consequence of his behaviour was his excommunication (he had already been excommunicated twice, in 1248 and 1249, but was later forgiven by the bishop) and the call to all his neighbours for a crusade against him. Unexpectedly his brothers quickly intervened and began to work towards a settlement between the two parties. The price for Boleslaw's return to the Church was high; he was finally forced in 1261 to pay a huge monetary compensation and to make a public penitence at the gates of the Cathedral in Wroclaw. The victory of Bishop Thomas was complete.
     "Boleslaw, who was finally able to maintain an agreement with Henryk III until his death, remained in hostile relations with his brother Konrad, thanks in great part to the rebellious and obstinate character of the young duke. In 1257 Konrad kidnapped Boleslaw from his castle in Legnica; he regained his freedom after a few months, though it is not known at what price. In 1271 Boleslaw took the town of Boleslawiec near Bóbr from his brother.
     "The political decline of Boleslaw began about 1270. He began to give increasing power to his adolescent sons. In 1273 he granted Jawor (Jauer) as a duchy to his eldest son Henryk V, and it seemed that Boleslaw had finally given up his adventurous policies. However in 1277 he surprised many by signing an alliance with Rudolf I von Habsburg, since 1273 the emperor-elect (who with this attempted to break the alliance of the other Piast dukes with Przemysl Ottokar II, king of Bohemia). At Rudolf's insistence, Boleslaw decided to kidnap Ottokar's ally Henryk IV, Herzog von Schlesien zu Breslau, the son of Boleslaw's brother Henryk III. The pretext of this was the young prince's demand for one third of Wroclaw after the death in 1270 of his uncle Wladislaw von Schlesien, elector-archbishop of Passau and Salzburg, Boleslaw's youngest brother. Henryk IV, as an important prisoner, was kept in a castle in Legnica. In order to obtain his freedom, a coalition was formed between the Bohemian king and the dukes Henryk I-III von Schlesien, duke of Glogow, and Przemyslaw II of Greater Poland (the future king of Poland). However they soon failed; Boleslaw's forces were smaller than the coalition's army at the Battle of Stolec, and appeared to be losing the battle. However, although Boleslaw had fled the field, his son Henryk V unexpectedly began to win and finally defeated the allied dukes. The dispute ended with a settlement; Henryk IV obtained his freedom in exchange for one third of the duchy of Sroda Slaska (Neumarkt), which was granted to Boleslaw.
     "This was Boleslaw's last success. He died about 26 December 1278 and was buried in the Dominican monastery of Legnica. His three sons Henryk V, Bolko I and Bernhard inherited his lands and divided them.
     "Boleslaw's wife Hedwig had died in December 1259, and after 1260 he married Eufemia (also called Alenta or Iolanta), a daughter of Sambor II of Pomorze Gdanskie, duke of Tczew, and Mechtild von Mecklenburg. This union was unhappy, due to the infidelities and scandals of Eufemia, who even fled to Gdansk with her lover. However she appeared in Silesia after the death of her husband, possibly indicating that they were reconciled before his death. They had no children."⁴

     From 1375 to 1392 John ruled in Bavaria-Landshut with his brothers Stephen III and Frederick. In 1392 John initiated a new partition of Bavaria since he refused to finance the Italian adventures of his brothers who were both married with daughters of Bernabò Visconti but also Stephen's expensive holding of court. Bavaria-Landshut then was reduced since Bavaria-Ingolstadt and Bavaria-Munich were created.
     John ruled alone in Bavaria-Munich for three years until 1395, but 1395 to 1397 he shared his power again with Stephen III again after an armed conflict between both brothers. John II was succeeded by his sons Ernest and William III who finally managed to enforce their sole rule over Bavaria-Munich against Stephen III.

     "Peter II de Savoie is said to have been born in the castle of Susa in 1203, son of Tommaso I, comte de Savoie, and Béatrice de Genève. His name is mentioned first in 1224 as one of Tommaso's four clerical sons. He held various ecclesiastical offices until 1236, among which he was provost of Geneva in April 1229. By an agreement dated 23 July 1234 at Chillon Peter received as his share of his father's estate the castles of Lonne and St.Rambert.
     "After 25 June 1236 Peter married Agnès de Faucigny, a younger daughter but principal heir of Aymon, seigneur de Faucigny, and Beatrice d'Auxonne-Bourgogne. Peter and Agnès had one daughter Beatrix who would have progeny.
     "In or before 1237 the sons of the count of Geneva seized him during a truce and imprisoned him for a time. For this outrage his eldest brother, as arbitrator, condemned them to pay Peter 20,000 marks of silver and to surrender the castle of Arlod, which castle was regranted to Peter in August 1242. In 1250 the debt was settled by an award settled by Peter's brother Philip, under which he was to receive 10,000 marks and retain the castle in Geneva and other pledges.
     "On 20 April 1240 Peter was given the honour of Richmond by Henry III, king of England (husband of Eleanor de Provence, Peter's niece), who invited him to England about the end of that year, and knighted him on 5 January 1241. He became popularly known as earl of Richmond. Henry III lavished favours and offices on him in the next few years. In February 1242 he was sent on a mission to Poitou. He acted as proxy for Richard, earl of Cornwall at Richard's marriage to his niece Sancha de Provence, at Tarascon on 17 July 1242. He greatly aggrandised his position in Vaud and elsewhere, especially in the years 1244, 1250-1251, 1254-1255 and in 1260.
     "Built on a rocky promontory jutting into Lake Geneva, is the spectacular castle of Chillon, which seems to float on water. Its construction date is unknown, but it was first mentioned in documents in 1150. It was rebuilt and enlarged in 1248 by Peter, who became known as 'Le Petit Charlemagne,' for his victory over the imperial troops which helped him gain possession of the Vaud.
     "In September 1250 he invaded the Dauphiné and forced the lord of La Tour du Pin to become his vassal. He was also actively engaged in England. On 18 April 1253 he undertook to accompany King Henry III to the Holy Land; and from August 1253 to October 1254 he was mostly with Henry in Gascony. In 1256 he unsuccessfully besieged Turin, in order to rescue his brother Tommaso II. He was frequently a commissioner to treat with France 1256-1259, also with the pope in June 1257 and with Scotland in August 1258. In June 1258 he was elected a member of the Council of 15 and one of the 24 commissioners.
     "In June 1263 he succeeded his nephew as count of Savoy. In England his lands were confiscated by the victorious barons under Simon de Montfort, but his lands were restored after the barons' defeat at the Battle of Evesham. Before 6 May 1266 the king gave him various lands in exchange for the _comitatus et honor_ of Richmond, but Peter seems to have retained the _comitatus_ until his death.

; per Richardson email: [quote] Dear Newsgroup: As a followup to an earlier post (see copy below), I recently found a reference to Gaston de Béarn as "kinsman" [consanguineus] of King Edward I of England in the published Annals of Worcester:

Year: 1275. Item orta est magna dissentio inter dominum regem Edwardum et Gastonem de Bierna in Vasconia ... Gasto de Bierna, vir potens et nobilis de Vasconia, regis consanguineus, sed ejus adversarius capitalis, per regem Franciae ad regem Angliae mittebatur: qui in carcere diutius tenebatur, remissus ad propria post pristinam cautionem." [Reference: Henry Richards Luard, ed., Annales Prioratus de Wigornia, in Annales Monastici 4 (Rolls Ser. 36)(1869): 468].

I wish to thank Thierry Stasser for previously establishing that Gaston de Béarn was a first cousin once removed to King Edward I of England, by common descent from Alphonso of Aragon, Count of Provence (died 1209).

; Per Genealogics:
     “Guillermo was born about 1173, the eldest son of Boniface I, marchese de Monferrato, and his first wife Elena di Busca. He was the marchese de Monferrato from 1203 and pretender to the kingdom of Thessalonica from 1207. Guillermo stood originally to inherit all his father's possessions. He participated in diverse campaigns with his father, including the Battle of Montiglio, in which the men of Asti were defeated in 1191. Between 1193 and 1199 he appeared in many of his father's public acts. On 12 June 1199 he was put in charge of Acqui Terme with twenty knights to combat the Alessandrini, and on 27 October he was present near Saluggia for the signing of a pact with the commune of Vercelli.
     “Boniface joined the Fourth Crusade as a Christian leader in 1203. In accordance with promises made to Asti and Alessandria, he officially abdicated the marquisate to Guillermo before he left. Immediately Guillermo turned towards Asti, then protected by Milan. The Astigiani had a history of rebellion and were growing in power. In August, with his father beside him, he formed an alliance with Alba and Alessandria, another rebellious commune, against Asti. His allies proved of little worth as he had to make many concessions to them, and he was still defeated in the field. In April 1206 he opened negotiations with Asti. The peace treaty was embarrassing for Monferrato, but it was accepted by all three allies. Guillermo promised to get his father's ratification, but his father died on crusade in September 1207 unaware of any peace back home. Traditionally the Aleramici adhered to the Ghibelline faction, which supported the Hohenstaufen and their Italian schemes. Guillermo, however, lent his support to Otto IV of Brunswick, the Guelph claimant to the imperial title. Though Guillermo expected to see the power of an emperor levelled against his foes, the only aid he received from Otto was directed against small local potentates who posed little real threat. The only great success of the alliance was the sack of Cuneo.
     “At the Diet of Lodi, Guillermo abandoned Otto finally in favour of Friedrich II, the Hohenstaufen claimant. On 15 July 1212 he was in Genoa with the other Ghibelline lords to receive Friedrich. Guillermo led the young emperor from the city to the road which led to Germany. In 1215 Guillermo participated in the Second Lateran Council, there arguing the cause of Friedrich against Otto. He travelled many subsequent times into Germany to speak to Friedrich, and during these absences his enemies plotted against him. In their attempts to seize his lands, however, they were largely unsuccessful. During his times in Italy, Guillermo remained at war with Asti and Alessandria, but without result.
     “During the exhausting years battling rebels and Guelphs, Guillermo resolved to travel to Greece to defend the conquests of his father, which had been formed into the kingdom of Thessalonica. He was urged to this end by the churchmen of his realm and also by the troubadour Elias Carel. When he finally decided to take the Cross, aware of the insignificance of his contribution to the total effort, he decided to head by way of Egypt, at the suggestion of Pope Honorius III. However the arrival of his half-brother Demetrius, fleeing the onslaught of the Greeks and the conspiracy of the Lombards led by their kinsman Oberto II of Biandrate, who desired to make Guillermo king as his father's successor, convinced him to go to Greece.
     “Several times he prepared to head out, but each time he was detained by the threats of his enemies in Piedmont or by the economic restraints which compelled him to mortgage his marquisate to Friedrich II. Finally he cowed some cities into giving him men. Nevertheless, he was present at Capua, Ferentino, and Sora with Friedrich II in February 1223. Delayed again and again, he drank a toast at Brindisi to his setting off in 1225, but he fell ill at the last minute. His fleet remained in port until Spring 1226, when, under urging from Honorius, it finally cast off. The delays had been fatal and Guillermo himself died at Halmyros on 17 September that year. The rest of his army was hit by a dysentery epidemic and melted away.
     “During his infancy, Guillermo was betrothed to Sophie, daughter of Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa. The marriage took place in 1187, when Guillermo was fourteen years old, and Sophie twenty-five; nevertheless, this union ended soon: Sophie died shortly after in that year.
     “On 9 August 1202 Guillermo married Berta de Clavesana, daughter of Boniface, marchese de Clavesana. Of their children, Boniface II and Beatrix would have progeny. Boniface II became his heir.”.³

; Per Genealogics:
     “Boniface, called 'the Giant', was born in July 1202, the only son of Guillermo VIII-VI, marchese de Monferrato, and his second wife Berta di Calvesana. He was appointed to succeed his father in 1225 when Guillermo led a group of crusaders to Frankish Greece. In the spring of 1226 he took full command of Monferrato following his father's death the previous September in Halmyros, Greece.
     “Boniface contracted an alliance with his cousin Manfredo III del Vasto, marquis of Saluzzo, by which if one died without heirs the other would inherit his domains. This served to avert a civil war in which the intervention of the Emperor Friedrich II, who was not on good terms with Boniface, could have been expected. Boniface had failed to repay the heavy debts to the German crown which his father had incurred. In 1226, threatened by imperial disfavour, he allied with the Lombard League against the emperor. Despite the eventual mediation of Pope Honorius III, the two men were ever distrustful of one another.
     “Towards 1228, Boniface negotiated a marital alliance with the House of Savoy. He proposed to marry Margareta de Savoie, daughter of Amadeo IV, comte de Savoie, duke of Chablais and Aosta, and Anne (Marguerite) de Bourgogne. However her grandfather Tommaso I, comte de Savoie, refused to grant the marriage while she was still very young. The two were wed in December 1235 at Chivasso, his capital, and Margareta became the mother of Guillermo and Alessina, both of whom would have progeny. Amadeo appears to have concluded an agreement with Boniface whereby the latter would succeed to his alpine Piedmontese lands if Amadeo died without heirs. The alliance with Savoy broke down and the agreement was never realised.
     “However Boniface's main sights were set not on the Piedmont but on nearby Alessandria: from 1227, when he strengthened an alliance with Asti, he continued until his death to fight the Alessandrini. The Lombard League and Milan rallied on the side of Alessandria. In 1230, after having lost many fortified places, Boniface was roundly defeated and forced to recognise the power and rights of the League. When he tried again to bring Alessandria into submission, with allies from Saluzzo and Savoy, the Milanese army attacked Chivasso. The protracted siege lasted four months, with Boniface's attempts to repulse the besiegers failed each time. Chivasso capitulated on 5 September 1231 and was not returned to Boniface for another year, after he had admitted his own defeat and come to terms.
     “After a subsequent rupture in his relations with Saluzzo and Savoy, Boniface was prevented for a while from seeing his wife, who had gone on a trip to Piedmont. It was then that Boniface decided to switch loyalties and turned to the imperial camp. He escorted the emperor on his Italian journeys, and in 1239 Friedrich invested him with Thessalonica, which had originally been conquered by Boniface's grandfather Boniface I, marchese de Monferrato, in the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade. Boniface I had left it to his second son Demetrius, who ceded his rights to the emperor in 1230. The good relations with the empire did not persist, however. In 1234 Boniface shifted over to the Welf party. In 1245, when Friedrich visited Turin, Boniface met him and requested his pardon. He was received back into the imperial fold. At this time of constant warfare with his relatives, news arrived of the death of Manfredo III del Vasto, marquis of Saluzzo. Following the dead marquis' will, Boniface was afforded custody and guardianship of Manfredo's young heir Tommaso and his sister Alasia.
     “The continuing political manoeuvring of Boniface was a response to the growing power of Amadeo IV, comte de Savoie, and above all the imperial decision to create a satellite state in Piedmont, carved from territory of Savoy, Saluzzo, and above all Monferrato. The death of Friedrich in 1250 brought a brief respite and calm to Boniface's politics. Thenceforward distracted by the fight for the southern Piedmont, Boniface dedicated more energy to internal affairs than to war making. In Rome, Friedrich's son Konrad IV von Hohenstaufen, the emperor-elect, invested him with some adjacent lands, particularly the city of Casale Monferrato on 4 May 1253. However Boniface died on 12 June that year at Moncalvo, only a few hours after dictating his testament. His son succeeded him as Guillermo IX-VII.”.⁷

NB: There is disagreement as to whether Margareta had a second husband:
     Genealogy.EU (Savoy 1) page says that Margherita's second husband was "Aymar de Poitiers, Cte de Valentinois". I have speculated that this was Aymar III de Poitiers (it would be his 2nd? marriage), based on dates. I think that his son Aymar IV would have been too young to marry Margherita.
     Genealogy.EU (Poitou 4) shows Margaret of Savoy as the 2nd wife (of 3) of Aymar.
     Leo van de Pas does not show a second marriage for Margherita, and shows only two wives for Aymar III.

     ; NB: There is a difference between the lineages for Nocher I as shown by Genealogics and by Med Lands.
A. Genealogics inserts one generation (highlighted) with an additional Nocher:
A.1 Achard de La Ferté-sur-Aube m. Acharda
....A.2 Nocher I, Comte de Bar-sur-Aube m. NN
........A.3 Nocher II, Comte de Bar-sur-Aube et de Soissons m. Adelise, Comtesse de Soissons
............A.4 Nocher III, Comte de Bar-sur-Aube m. NN
................A.5 Aelis, Comtesse de Bar-sur-Aube
B. Med Lands omits generation A.2 (above):
B.1 ACHARD de la Ferté-sur-Aube m. [ACHARDIA]
....B.2 NOCHER [I] de la Ferté-sur-Aube, Comte de Bar-sur-Aube m. ADELISA
........B.3 NOCHER [II], Comte de Bar-sur-Aube m. NN
............B.4 AELIS, Ctss de Bar-sur-Aube
Conclusion: Med Lands reports a confusion over the wife of Nocher [I], saying some name her as the "widow of Guy Comte de Soissons", and others as "Adelisa Ctss de Soissons, daughter of Guy Comte de Soissons." This supposed confusion is clarified by the Genealogics descent which shows "Adelise, Comtesse de Soissons," dau. of Gui, Comte de Soissons, as the wife of Nocher II. Med Lands also places the date of death of B.3 Nocher [II] as 1019/1040, while Wikipedia states that Nocher II d. 1019 and Genealogics (as well as Wikipedia) state that Nocher III d. 1040.
