Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_I,_Marquess_of_Saluzzo
Thomas I (1239–1296) was the fourth Marquess of Saluzzo from 1244 to his death. He 
succeeded his father Manfred III. Under the reign of Thomas, Saluzzo blossomed, 
achieving a greatness which had eluded his ancestors. He crafted a state the borders 
of which remained unchanged for over two centuries. He extended the march to 
include Carmagnola. He was often at odds with Asti and he was a prime enemy of 
Charles of Anjou and his Italian pretentions. During his tenure, he made Saluzzo a free 
city, giving it a podestà to govern in his name. He defended his castles and roccaforti 
(strongholds) vigorously and built many new ones in the cities.

He married Luisa of Ceva.

He was succeeded by his son Manfred IV. Thomas also had a daughter, Alice of 
Saluzzo, who married Richard Fitzalan, 8th Earl of Arundel.
