Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marguerite_of_Burgundy,_Countess_of_Savoy
Marguerite of Burgundy (referred to as Anne by some sources; 1192–1243), was, by 
marriage, Countess of Savoy from 1233 until her death. She was the youngest 
daughter of Hugh III, Duke of Burgundy, and his second wife, Béatrice of Albon.

Around 1217, she married Amadeus IV, Count of Savoy. As dowry, she brought Miribel 
castle, Ornacieux castle, and other properties in Viennois territory. The marriage was 
agreed to as part of a treaty between the families, including terms not to acquire 
further territories within each other's dominions. She and her new husband were also 
designated as heirs for her brother Guigues VI of Viennois after any children of his.[1] 
However, this peace between the families did not last long, with conflict resuming by 
1228.[2]

She also personally inherited some money upon the death of her mother. The 1267 will 
of her nephew Guigues VII of Viennois confirmed donations of property which she had 
made.

Marguerite and Amadeus had two daughters:
Beatrice of Savoy (d. 1258), married firstly in 1233 to Manfred III of Saluzzo (d. 1244), 
married secondly on April 21, 1247 to Manfred of Sicily
Margaret of Savoy (d. 1254), married firstly on December 9, 1235 to Boniface II of 
Montferrat, married secondly to Aymar III, Count of Valentinois

Note that some scholars are unclear on Marguerite's given name. A book about the 
house of Savoy at this time mentions the debate regarding her name,[1] but finds a 
source[3] which Cox finds settles the debate.
