• (Geschiedenis) .Source 1

  Adelheid van Savoye, ook van Maurienne, (ca. 1092 - Montmartre, 18 november 1154) was een dochter van Humbert II van Savoye en van Gisela van Bourgondië, en dus een nicht van paus Callixtus II.
  
  Zij trouwde op 28 maart 1115 te Parijs met Lodewijk VI van Frankrijk. Als koningin had ze een actief aandeel in het bestuur, ze wordt in 45 aktes van Lodewijk vermeld. In 1127 trad ze tijdens de afwezigheid van Lodewijk zelfstandig op tegen de kanselier Stephanus van Garlande die zoveel macht verzamelde dat hij een bedreiging vormde voor de positie van de koning. Na de dood van Lodewijk probeerde ze de invloed van de abt Suger in te perken. Toen dit mislukte moest ze zich terugtrekken op haar landgoederen bij Compiègne. Volgens eigentijdse beschrijvingen was ze lelijk maar vroom en vriendelijk.
  
  In 1141 hertrouwde zij met constable Mattheus I van Montmorency. In 1153 trok zij zich terug in de abdij van Montmartre, die zij samen met haar zoon Lodewijk gesticht had. Zij stierf er het jaar nadien.

  Biography
  
  Adelaide was the daughter of Humbert II of Savoy and Gisela of Burgundy, and niece of Pope Callixtus II, who once visited her court in France. Her father died in 1103, and her mother married Renier I of Montferrat as a second husband.
  
  She became the second wife of Louis VI of France (1081–1137), whom she married on 3 August 1115. They had eight children, the second of whom became Louis VII of France. Adelaide was one of the most politically active of all France's medieval queens consort. Her name appears on 45 royal charters from the reign of Louis VI. During her tenure as queen, royal charters were dated with both her regnal year and that of the king. Among many other religious benefactions, she and Louis founded the monastery of St Peter's (Ste Pierre) at Montmartre, in the northern suburbs of Paris. She was reputed to be "ugly," but attentive and pious.
  
  Afer Louis VI's death, Adélaide did not immediately retire to conventual life, as did most widowed queens of the time. Instead she married Matthieu I of Montmorency, with whom she had one child. She remained active in the French court and in religious activities.
  
  Adélaide is one of two queens in a legend related by William Dugdale. As the story goes, Queen Adélaide of France became enamoured of a young knight, William d'Albini, at a joust. But he was already engaged to Adeliza of Louvain and refused to become her lover. The jealous Adélaide lured him into the clutches of a hungry lion, but William ripped out the beast's tongue with his bare hands and thus killed it. This story is almost without a doubt apocryphal.
  
  In 1153 she retired to the abbey of Montmartre, which she had founded with Louis VII. She died there on 18 November 1154. She was buried in the cemetery of the Church of St. Pierre at Montmarte, but her tomb was destroyed during the Revolution.

• She died on November 18, 1154 in Montmartre, Frankrijk, she was 62 years old.
• A child of Humbert II "de sterke" van Savoye and Gisela van Bourgondie
