    Humbert I Withand (ca. 980 – Hermillon, 19 juli 1047 of 1 juli 1048) was de eerste graaf van Savoye en geldt als stamvader van het Huis Savoye dat later Italië zou regeren.
    Leven

    Humbert met de witte hand was van adellijke komaf, maar zijn herkomst is niet met zekerheid vast te stellen. Naast een afkomst uit lokale adel (dan zou Amadeus van Beiley zijn vader zijn) is afstamming uit hoge adel uit Saksen, Italië, Bourgondië en de Provence gesuggereerd. De bijnaam Withand is moeilijk te verklaren. Misschien wordt bedoeld dat hij zeer gul was maar er wordt ook rekening gehouden met een schrijffout in middeleeuwse teksten.

    In het conflict tussen Rudolf III van Bourgondië en keizer Hendrik II koos Humbert de kant van de keizer. Als dank hiervoor maakte de keizer hem in 1003 graaf van Salmourenc en graaf in het noorden van Viennois. In 1017 werd hij graaf van Nyon (aan de noordkant van het meer van Genève in het zuidwesten van het huidige Zwitserland) en in 1024 van het Valle d'Aosta. In 1034 schonk de Duitse koning Koenraad II hem een deel van Maurienne als dank voor zijn hulp in de strijd tegen aartsbisschop Aribert van Milaan. Hij verkreeg ook de graafschappen Savoye, Beiley, Chablais en een deel van de Tarantaise. Humbert beheerste zo drie van de grote passen in de Alpen: de Col du Mont Cenis, de Grote en Kleine Sint-Bernhardpas. Humbert vestigde zich in een kasteel in Aiguebelle.

    Humberts zoon Otto was intussen getrouwd met Adelheid van Susa, dochter van markies Manfred II Olderik van Susa, een afstammeling van Arduin van Ivrea, koning van Italië, die regeerde over de graafschappen Turijn, Auriate, Asti, Bredulo en Vercelli, het huidige Piemonte en een deel van Ligurië.

    Humbert stierf vermoedelijk hetzij op 19 juli 1047 in Hermillon of op 1 juli 1048 (volgens het overlijdensregister van Talloires en werd opgevolgd door zijn zoon Amadeus. Humbert is begraven in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne.

    Umberto I (c.?980–1047/1048) (in French, Humbert aux blanches-mains; in Italian, Umberto Biancamano) was the first Count of Savoy from 1032, when the County of Vienne, which had been sold to the Archdiocese of Vienne, was divided between the County of Albon and the Maurienne. Humbert came of noble stock, possibly from Saxony,[1] Italy, Burgundy or Provence.

    He is also called Umberto the White-Handed (French: Humbert aux Blanches-Mains; Italian: Umberto Biancamano) reportedly to signify his generosity. However, this posthumously applied title may derive from a textual mistranslation of an early Latin record which actually refers to the walls of his castle, not his hands, as white.[2]

    During the wars between Rudolph III of Burgundy and the Emperor Henry II, Umberto supported the latter with provisions and soldiers because he was related to the imperial family by marriage. Thus, in 1003, the emperor installed him as the Count of Aosta, a mountainous region then a part of Burgundy but today within Italy, and granted him the northern Viennois as a reward. Umberto in turn protected the right flank of Henry's army during his subsequent invasion of Italy in 1004.

    Umberto's lands were essentially autonomous after the death of Henry. Their mountainous inaccessibility and their minor importance lent them to being overlooked and ignored in the power struggles which inevitably followed the death of the emperor. In 1032, Umberto received the Maurienne, his native country, from the Emperor Conrad II, whom he had helped in his Italian campaigns against Aribert, Archbishop of Milan.

    He died at Hermillon, a town in the Maurienne region of present day Savoie, France.
