Beatrice Aleramici, del Monferrato - Dates and proof need attention.

Got another email listing inconsistencies on profiles I co-manage.

Beatrice Aleramici, del Monferrato had 2 children between the ages of 0 and 15 years old.

Tip: Correct the birth date of Beatrice Aleramici, del Monferrato (born circa 1142) or the following children:

Marquise d'Albon - Marquise d'Albon, /!\ (b. circa 1155 France, just 13 years after her mother's birth).

Alix (D'Aubergne) du Puy, Princess Dauphine - Alix (D'Aubergne) du Puy, Princess Dauphine /!\ (b. circa 1132 France, a decade before her mother's birth).

I don't see a source for either of these children. The second one and her husband recently had problematic merges (seriously conflicting birthdates).

From Wikipedia:

Guigues [V] died without male heirs at Vizille in 1162. He left a daughter, Beatrice, who inherited his lands and titles.[4]

The identity of his wife, whom he married in 1155, is uncertain, other than that she was a kinswoman of Frederick Barbarossa, according to Chorier.[a]

However, Usseglio has shown that Chorier had misdated a charter of Frederick II for one of Frederick I: the Beatrice of Montferrat in question was the daughter of William VI of Montferrat, and widow of Guiges V's grandson Guigues VI of Viennois.[b]

Notes
Chorier, in his Histoire Générale de Dauphiné (1641, Grenoble, republished 1878, Valence, vol. I, p. 616) identified her as Beatrice, a daughter of William V of Montferrat, and also assigned to them a son who died young.

Here is the Italian Wikipedia biography for her second husband: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enrico_I_del_Carretto

Shortly after 1162 Frederick Barbarossa gave Henry his cousin, Beatrice del Monferrato, as a wife .

The couple had five children:

Otto (*~ 1160 †~ 1240 ), marquis of Dego and Roccaverano; he will be the first to adopt the title " De Carreto ", derived from the name of the castle near Cairo , his main residence;
Henry II (*~ 1170 † before 1231 ), marquis of Finale;
Isabella (*? † 1191 );
Ambrogio (*? †~ 1192 ), bishop of Savona from 1183 to 1192;
Boniface I (*? † 1199 ), bishop of Savona from 1193 to 1199.

The Italian Wikipedia biography for our Beatrice under discussion here is well researched with references and cited sources:

Beatrice degli Aleramici, or Beatrice del Monferrato (circa 1142 – 1228), therefore belonged to the feudal family of the Aleramici, and was Dauphin consort of Viennois and countess consort of Albon, from 1155 to 1162 and Marchioness consort of Finale, from circa 1165 to 1185.

Both according to the De Allobrogibus libri novem, and according to the Ex vita Margaritæ Albonensis comitissæ, Beatrice was a blood relative of the emperor Frederick Barbarossa [1], and that she was the daughter of the Marquis of Monferrato, William V [2]; finally, also Nicolas Chorier, in his Histoire de Dauphiné confirms that she was the daughter of the Marquis of Monferrato, William V and of Judith of Babenberg [3], who according to the Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis I was the daughter of Agnes of Waiblingen and her second husband, the Margrave of Austria, Leopold III of Babenberg (St. Leopold of Babenberg) [4].

William V of Monferrato, according to document no. 38 of the Monumenta Aquensia, Pars I, was the only son of the Marquis Ranieri degli Aleramici and Gisella of Burgundy [5].

In 1155, both according to De Allobrogibus libri novem, and according to Ex vita Margaritæ Albonensis comitissæ, Beatrice was given in marriage to the Dauphin of Viennois and count of Albon, Ghigo V [6] [2], who, according to document n ° 3776 of the Regeste dauphinois, ou Répertoire chronologique et analytique des documents, tome I, fascicolo II, was the only son of the Dauphin of Viennois and count of Albon, Ghigo IV and his wife Clemenza known as Margaret of Mâcon [7], who, as the Ex vita Margaritæ Albonensis comitissæ confirms, she was the granddaughter of Pope Callixtus II, daughter of Stephen I of Mâcon, Count Palatine of Burgundy, and of Beatrice of Lorraine [8]; the relatives of Margherita or Clemenza ( Macildam vel Clementiam filiam Stephani seu Sophini, Burgundiæ ducis), are also confirmed by De Allobrogibus libri novem [6].

Again according to De Allobrogibus libri novem, her husband, Ghigo V, died in Vizille, in 1162 and was buried, next to his father [9], in the Cathedral of Grenoble.

Again according to De Allobrogibus libri novem, Ghigo V died, leaving no male heirs [10]; according to the Histoire générale du Dauphiné. vol. 1 / par Nicolas Chorier, however, upon his death, Ghigo V also left a male heir, named Ghigo, who survived his father only a few years [3]. However, upon the death of Ghigo V, Beatrice's mother-in-law, Clemenza known as Margherita, assumed the regency for her only daughter, Beatrice (or first for her son, Ghigo, and after [his] death, for Beatrice).

Around 1165 Frederick Barbarossa, as confirmed by the Europäische Stammtafeln [11], Vol. III, chap. 738 (not consulted), he gave Beatrice, who was his first cousin, and widow of Ghigo V, as wife to the Marquis of Finale [12], Enrico del Vasto known as the One-Eyed or the Valorous [13], who, according to the document n° 42 of the Monumenta Aquensia, Pars I, was one of the male children of the Marquis of Savona and Western Liguria, Bonifacio del Vasto [12] and of Agnese di Vermandois.

Around 1185, Beatrice was widowed for the second time.

In around 1197, returning from Sicily, the knight-troubadour Raimbaut de Vaqueiras returned to Monferrato and here he met Beatrice, sister of the Marquis Bonifacio who was hosting him and widow of Enrico del Carretto. Falling in love with the woman, he composed several songs for her and began singing in different languages. [14]

BEATRICE lived until 1228 and was buried in the Cathedral of Grenoble [13].

Children
BEATRICE gave Ghigo only one daughter [15] [16]:

*Beatrice, to whom the title of Delfina was transferred, which she passed on to her son, **Andrea Ghigo, from her second husband, Hugh III of Burgundy [3].

BEATRICE gave Enrico five children [17]:

*Enrico II del Carretto (1165-1231) marquis of Savona [12];
*Otto († 1228), marquis of Dego and Roccaverano [12];
*Isabella († 1191)
*Ambrose (1170 - 1192), bishop of Savona from 1183 to 1192
*Boniface (1172 - 1224), bishop of Savona from 1193 and of Asti from 1215 to 1224.

"The Lady of Monferrato", whom Raimbaut calls "Bel Cavaller" in his poems, is particularly epigraphed in all the razós, [18] which explain why Raimbaut gave her this nickname:
