Amadeus succeeded his father as Count of Savoy upon his death in 1233
and ruled until his own death in 1253. There is little record of anything
of note accomplished during his tenure. His son, Bonifacio Roland
succeeded him as count from 1253 to 1263, but little is said of his
accomplishments either. The county then went to Amadeus' brother,
Peter II (1263-1268), who was known as "Little Charlemagne", and then
to the next brother, Philip (1268-1285). Peter aggressively expanded
Savoy's influence in the tradition of his father and Philip was one of the
most powerful rulers in Europe.
