        ** from Wikipedia listing for Otto I, Count of Savoy, as of 10/29/2014
        Otto (or Othon in French, Oddone in Italian) (1010/1020 – c. 1057)[1] was count of Savoy from c.1051 until his death. Through marriage to Adelaide of Susa, he was also margrave of Turin from c.1046 until his death.

        Family
        He was a younger son of Humbert, the first Count of Savoy, and his wife Ancilla of Lenzburg. Otto became count of Savoy c.1051 after the death of his elder brother, Amadeus I of Savoy.[2]

        In 1046 he married Adelaide, heiress of Turin and Susa.[3] They had five children:
        Peter (d.1078)
        Amadeus (d.1080)
        Otto[4]
        Bertha (d.1087), wife of Henry IV of Germany
        Adelaide (d.1080), married Rudolf of Swabia

        Rule
        Through his marriage to Adelaide, Otto obtained extensive possessions in northern Italy. Thereafter, the House of Savoy concentrated their expansion efforts towards Italy instead of north of the Alps as they had done before. Savoy's lands occupied much of modern Savoy and Piedmont, although several other small states could be found between them.

        In the 1050s, Otto allowed coins to be minted at Aiguebelle. The archbishop of Vienne, Léger, who had sole right of minting in the region, complained to Pope Leo IX, so Otto forbade further coining at Aiguebelle.[5]
