Jeanne DE GENÈVE

Notes individuelles
[JEANNE (-[1095]). Guichenon names Jeanne as the wife of Comte Amédée II referring to various secondary sources[33].
Her origin is not known with certainty, but Guichenon, referring to "Henninges" (no precise citation), suggests "avec…assurance et…probabilité" that she was the daughter of Gerold Comte de Genève and his first wife Gisela ---[34]. From his discussion, it does not appear that this speculation is based on any surviving primary source and it is not known how accurate it might be.

m ([1065/70]) AMEDEE de Savoie, son of ODDON Comte de Chablais & his wife Adelaida di Susa ([1048/50]-26 Jan 1080, bur Saint-Jean de Maurienne). He succeeded his brother in 1078 as AMEDEE II Comte de Savoie, Marchese di Susa.]

Naissance
Jeanne de Genève, née vers 1050 et morte vers 1095, est une princesse issue de la maison de Genève et devient par mariage comtesse de Savoie.
Jeanne est la fille du comte de Genève, Gérold (1020 - 1080), et de Gisèle de Bourgogne (1020-1060).

Elle est mariée au comte Amédée II, seigneur de Maurienne et de Belley, vers 10651 (peut être 1070 voire 1077). Le Altacumbæ Chronicon, cité par le médiéviste Charles William Previté-Orton, mentionne « uxor ejus [Amedei] de Burgondia », qui pourrait se référer à Amédée. Si elle est d'origine genevoise, cela permettrait d'expliquer comment la maison de Savoie est venue si tôt posséder une grande partie du Genevois.

Elle lui apporte ainsi en dot le Valromey ainsi que la rive droite du Rhône, entre les bourgs de Culoz et Bellegarde.
