Agnès DU MAURIENNE

   Another name for Agnès was Agnès DE SAVOIE.

   Research Notes:

A notice dated [25 Jan] [1137/39] or 1140 concerning the foundation of the leprosery of La Madeleine near Souvigny refers to a donation of land by "domni Archinbaudi Borbonensis et Agnetis comitissæ" sold property to the prior of Montet by charter dated to [22 Sep 1095/early Jan 1097]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, the wife of Archambaud [VII] was the daughter of Comte Humbert II. The primary source which confirms that this is correct has not yet been identified but no indication has been found to indicate that it is incorrect. However, it is surprising that Archambaud VII (who was a bachelor, and probably in his mid-thirties, at the time of his marriage) would have married a spinster in her late thirties (Agnes must have been born before 1104 if she was the daughter of Comte Humbert). The reference in the charter referred to above to "Agnetis comitissæ" indicates that Agnes was of higher rank by birth than her husband.
