Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guigues_V_of_Albon
Guigues V (c. 1125 – 29 July 1162) was the Count of Albon and Grenoble from 1142 
until his death. He was the first to take the title Dauphin du Viennois.

Guigues V was the son of Guigues IV, Count of Albon (1133–42), and Margaret of 
Mâcon. He inherited when he was considered too young to rule on his own and so his 
mother controlled the regency until 1153. In that year Guigues took the reins of 
government and immediately set about to avenge his father, who had been killed in a 
surprise attack by the Count of Savoy, Humbert III, during the siege of Montmélian 
eleven years earlier. Guigues V besieged Montmélian a second time, but was driven 
off by Humbert's relief force. Peace was finally achieved by the intervention of the 
Bishop of Grenoble, Hugh II.

Two years later, on 13 January 1155, Guigues was in Rivoli, near Turin, to recognise 
the suzerainty of the Holy Roman Emperor, Frederick Barbarossa, for his lands. The 
emperor in return confirmed the count of Albon in the possession of certain territories 
his ancestors had acquired through litigation, and granted him a mint at Râme in the 
Embrunais and the right to coinage in Cézanne.

Guigues died without male heirs at Vizille in 1162. He left a daughter, Beatrice, who 
inherited his lands and titles.

The identity of his wife, whom he married in 1155, is uncertain, other than that she 
was a kinswoman of Frederick Barbarossa. Chorier, in his Histoire Générale de 
Dauphiné (1641, Grenoble, republished 1878, Valence, vol. I, p. 616) identified her as 
Beatrice, a daughter of William V of Montferrat, and also assigned to them a son who 
died young. However, Usseglio, in I Marchesi di Monferrato in Italia ed in Oriente 
durante i secoli XII e XIII (Casale Monferrato, 1926, vol. 1, pp. 167–69) has shown 
that Chorier had misdated a charter of Frederick II for one of Frederick I: the Beatrice 
of Montferrat in question was the daughter of William VI of Montferrat, and widow of 
Guiges V's grandson Guigues VI of Viennois.
