Umberto III (1135, Avigliana, Piedmont 1189), surnamed the Blessed, was Count of Savoy from 1148 to 1189. His parents were Amadeus III of Savoy and Mahaut (or Mafalda, or Matilda) of Albon, the sister of Guy IV of Dauphinois. His memorial day is March 4.
According to Cope[1]
Umberto 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 monastery. He only renounced his chosen state of celibacy so as to give his land an heir.
His first wife died young; his second marriage ended in divorce. Umberto gave up and became a Carthusian monk. However, the nobles and common people of Savoy begged him to marry yet again, which he reluctantly did. This third wife gave him two more daughters, and Umberto attempted to return to the monastic life yet again. Finally he was prevailed upon to marry for a fourth time, and this wife, Beatrice, produced the son who would ultimately succeed him.
In 1188 he founded the Monastery of Sant'Antonio di Ranverso.

Clemetina von Zähringen
Birth: 1137
Death: 1175
Nobility, only daughter of Konrad von Zähringen and Clémence de Namur. She was married to duke Henry the Lion in 1148, to strengthen the alliance between the two families. She bore him three children of which two died young. The surviving daughter Gertrud later married Knud VI of Denmark. She acted as Henrys representative in Saxony during his visit to Rome. When her brothers allied with the french king against the emperor she became a political burden for her husband. The pope annulled the marriage in 1162, officially because of consanguinity, but the fact that after 14 years Henry was still without heir might have been a reason too. In 1164 she married Humbert III de Maurienne and bore him two daughters.
