Aleramo of Montferrat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aleramo di Savona (?-967) was the marquess of Montferrat and Liguria in Northern Italy until his death. Originally a subject of the King of Italy, he had also allied himself to the royal family by marrying Gerberga, daughter of Berengar II. When Italy came under the direct control of the Holy Roman Empire in 962, Aleramo's titles were confirmed by the Emperor Otto I.
Aleramo and Gerberga had three sons:
- William II, died bef. 967, co-ruler with his father
- Otto, died 991. His son William III succeeded to Montferrat
- Anselm, who succeeded to Liguria
He was buried in Grazzano Badoglio, in the Province of Asti. His tomb, restored in the sixteenth and twentieth centuries, is marked by a mosaic depicting mythological beasts.
