    • Béatrix de Savoie (ou Béatrice), née en 1198 et morte en 1265 ou 1266 au château de Menuet (Les Échelles), est fille aînée de Thomas Ier (v. 1177-1233), 9e comte de Savoie (1189-1233), et de Béatrice Marguerite de Genève (morte en 1257). Elle est ainsi la sœur de trois comtes de Savoie, Amédée IV, Pierre II et Philippe Ier

      Origine

      Béatrice naît aux alentours de 1198 au château de Menuet, aux Échelles. Elle est la fille du comte Thomas Ier. Elle reçoit une éducation de son rang, elle est dite bien instruite et accompagne régulièrement son père dans ses déplacements. Elle est décrite comme « belle et intelligente ».

      Selon l'historien Bernard Demotz, la présence des comtes de Savoie en Provence fait l'objet d'une attention particulière. Ainsi, le comte Thomas Ier donne Béatrice en mariage en 1219 à Raymond Bérenger IV, comte de Provence. Elle a 20 ans et son époux termine sa quartorzième année. Elle apporte en dot 2000 marcs d'argents. Avec le même objectif, en 1244, son frère Amédée IV de Savoie, devenu comte, épouse en seconde noce Cécile des Baux. Elle se rend à la cour de Provence en 1220.

      Comtesse de Provence

      À la cour de Provence, en ce xiiie siècle, la comtesse accueille de nombreux troubadours et leur accorde sa protection.

      Retour en Savoie

      À la suite de la mort de son époux, le comte Raymond Bérenger IV, en 1245, elle se retire dans son douaire, son château de Menuet des Échelles qu'elle a reçu en apanage. Elle fait agrandir le château et perpétue l'accueil d'une cour.

      En 1260, elle fait don de son domaine aux Hospitaliers de Saint-Jean-de-Jérusalem, qui établissent une Commanderie. Au château est adjoint le prieuré qui fut fondé par le premier Humbertien10. Ainsi qu'une somme de 3 000 livres tournois afin de construire un hôpital pour les pauvres dans le lieu11.

      Elle meurt dans son château de Menuet entre 1265 ou 1266.

      BIO: from http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/SAVOY.htm#ThomasIdied1233B, as of 10/29/2014
      BEATRIX de Savoie ([1205]-Dec 1266 or 4 Jan 1267). Matthew of Paris names her as daughter of "comitis Sabaldiæ Thomæ iam mortui, sororem comitis Sabaldiæ adhuc viventis Amidei", when he records the marriage of her daughter to Henry III King of England[425]. It is improbable that she was born much later than 1205 as she gave birth to her first child in 1221. The contract of marriage between "Thomas…comes Sabaldie et marchio in Ytalia…filia sua" and "Raimundi Berengarii…comitis Provinciæ et Forcalquerii" is dated 5 Jun 1219, and names "A. et V. filii Thomæ comitis et A. cometissa uxor eius" as guarantors[426]. She transformed the court at Aix into one of the most celebrated in Europe. After quarrelling with her son-in-law Charles Comte d'Anjou over the usufruct of the county of Provence she retired to Echelles in Savoy[427]. The marriage of her daughter Eléonore with Henry III King of England in 1236 signalled the establishment of close ties between the English court and the house of Savoy, the foreign immigrants becoming increasingly unpopular in England and contributing to the difficulties experienced by the king with his barons. The testament of "Beatricis relictæ Raimundi Berengarii comitis Provinciæ", dated 14 Jan 1264, confirms her previous testaments appointing "Reginarum filiarum suarum Margarethæ Franciæ et Alienoræ Angliæ, fratrum suorum Bonifacii archiepiscopi Cantuar. et Petri comitis Sabaudiæ" as her heirs, chooses burial "in hospitali Scalarum", and adds bequests to "Philippo electo Lugdun. fratri suo altero…Agneti comitissæ Sabaudiæ dominiæ Fuciniaci, Cæciliæ relictæ Amedei Sabaudiæ comitis, Beatrici relictæ Thomæ de Sabaudia comitis...Contissoni…Eleonoræ aliæ filiæ Thomæ comitis…Contissoni dominæ Medullionis nepti suæ…Margarithæ matri marchionis Montisferrati nepti suæ, Rodulpho archiepiscopo Tarantas, A. episcopo de Dyone consanguineo testatricis, Petro episcopo Hereford…filiabus Rodolphi et Henrici de Gebennis, et filiæ domini de Camera" as well as numerous bequests to religious institutions, orders "Contissona filia Amedei comitis…Eleonoræ filiæ Thomæ fratris sui" to fulfil religious bequests, and appoints "Johannem archiepiscopum Viennensem et Rodulphum Tarantasiensem, Philippum electum Lugdun. fratrem suum, episcopum Gratianopolitanum, Humbertum abbatem Altacumbæ et Stephanum archidiaconum Cantaruensium" as her executors[428]. A second testament of "Beatrix relicta…Dom. Reymundi Berengarii comitis provinciæ", dated 22 Feb 1264, chooses burial "in ecclesia Hospitalis S. Joannis Hierosolymitani", adds bequests to "Thomam Amedeum et Ludovicum filios quondam Dom. Thome fratris mei…Alienore filie predicti comitis Thome…filie Contissone de Medullione…filie domini de Camera…Beringarie filie Dom. Benedicti de Castellione…Beatrice Andegavie comitisse"[429]. The testament of "Bonifacius archiepiscopus Cantuarensis", dated 11 Oct 1264, made bequests to "sorori suæ comitissæ Provinciæ…sorori suæ alteræ comitissæ de Quiborc…"[430]. A second necrology of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne records the death "II Non Jan" of "vidua dna comitssa Provincie"[431].

      m (Betrothed 5 Jun 1219, Dec 1220) RAIMOND BERENGER IV Comte de Provence, son of ALPHONSE II Comte de Provence [Aragon-Barcelona] & his wife Gersende de Sabran Ctss de Forcalquier ([1198]-19 Aug 1245, bur Aix-en-Provence, église de Saint Jean de Jérusalem).

      ** from Wikipedia listing for Beatrice of Savoy, as of 10/29/2014
      Beatrice of Savoy (1205 – 4 January 1267)[1] was the daughter of Thomas I of Savoy and Margaret of Geneva. She was Countess consort of Provence by her marriage to Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Provence.

      Family
      Her paternal grandparents were Humbert III, Count of Savoy, and Beatrice of Viennois. Her maternal grandparents were William I, Count of Geneva and Beatrice de Faucigny. Beatrice of Savoy's mother, Margaret was betrothed to Philip II of France. While Margaret was travelling to France for her wedding, she was captured by Beatrice's father, Thomas. He took her back to Savoy and married her himself. Thomas' excuse was that Philip II was already married, which was true.

      Beatrice was the tenth of fourteen children born to her parents. Her siblings included: Amadeus IV, Count of Savoy, Thomas II of Piedmont, Peter II, Count of Savoy, Philip I, Count of Savoy, Boniface of Savoy, Archbishop of Canterbury, Avita the Countess of Devon and Margherita of Savoy wife of Hartmann I of Kyburg.

      Life
      Marriage and issue
      Beatrice betrothed on 5 June 1219 to Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Provence; they married in December 1220. She was a shrewd and politically astute woman, whose beauty was likened to that of a second Niobe by Matthew Paris. Ramon and Beatrice of Savoy had four daughters, who all lived to adulthood, and married kings. Their only son, Raymond died in early infancy.[2]

      Margaret, Queen of France (1221–1295), wife of Louis IX of France
      Eleanor, Queen of England (1223–1291), wife of Henry III of England
      Sanchia, Queen of Germany (1228–1261), wife of Richard, Earl of Cornwall
      Beatrice, Queen of Sicily (1231–1267), wife of Charles I of Sicily
      Raymond of Provence, died young

      Beatrice came to England to see her third daughter Sanchia wedded to Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall, brother-in-law of Eleanor and did much to strengthen the bond between Richard and Henry III. She further strengthened the unity of the English royal family by convincing Henry III to help pay the debts of his sister Eleanor and her husband Simon de Montfort, who had previously often be at odds with Henry.[3] Beatrice's husband Ramon Berenguer IV was detained by state difficulties which his wife solved by getting a loan from her son-in-law Henry III of four thousand marks.[4]

      Widowhood
      When Ramon Berenguer had died on 19 August 1245, he left Provence to his youngest daughter. Beatrice's daughter and namesake then became one of the most attractive heiresses in medieval Europe. Various suitors had tried to seize her, so Beatrice of Savoy placed the younger Beatrice in a safe fortress, secured the trust of its people then went to the Pope for his protection. In Cluny during December 1245, a secret discussion, between Pope Innocent IV, Louis IX of France, his mother Blanche of Castile and his brother Charles of Anjou, took place. It was decided that in return for Louis IX supporting the Pope militarily, the Pope would allow Charles of Anjou, youngest brother to the French King, to marry Beatrice of Provence. But Provence was to never go to France outright through Charles. It was agreed that if Charles and Beatrice had children, the county would go to them; if there was no issue, then the county would go to Sanchia of Provence. If Sanchia died without an heir, Provence would go to the King of Aragon.

      The generally good relationship among the four sisters also did much to improve the relationship of the French and English kings. It brought about the Treaty of Paris, where differences were resolved.[5] Beatrice and all her four daughters participated in the talks.[6]

      Beatrice of Savoy was granted the usufruct of the county of Provence for her lifetime, according to her husband's will. Beatrice outlived her third daughter Sanchia and came close to outliving her youngest daughter Beatrice, who died months after her mother (Beatrice the elder died in January, Beatrice the younger died in September). Beatrice of Savoy died on 4 January 1267.
