• Notes

  Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . ." (133:26). Quoting from Christopher Cope's, "The Lost Kingdom of Burgundy" : "Humbert III, who reigned from 1149 to 1189, . . . was a man of irresolute spirit who was disconsolate at being born a prince and preferred the seclusion of a monestery. He only renounced his chosen state of celibacy so as to give his land an heir . . . " Two wives produced only a daughter. "Humbert gave up and became a Carthusian monk . . . As the anciant chronicle narrates, the barons, knights, and people of Savoy went to the abbot to beg him to restore their count to them, but his marriage . . . again only produced a daughter; Humbert was about to withdraw to the abbey of Aulps when he was prevailed on to marry yet again, and his fourth wife gave him an heir who fortunately had the kingly qualities which Humbert lacked." Weis' "Ancestral Roots . . ." (133:36), however, has the third wife, BEATRIX OF MACON as THOMAS' mother. Europaische Stammtafeln ii, 190 confirms BEATRIX.
