Aleramo

Tomb of Aleramo in the monastery in Grazzano Badoglio, containing a mythological motif - fighting beasts. It was restored in the 16th and 20th centuries Aleramo (born in the 10th century - between 967 and 991) - Marquis of Montferrat and Saluzzo certainly from 938 to 967 with his son Wilhelm II and perhaps between 967 and 991 with his younger son Otto I. Actual founders

The Alameda dynasty ruled in Montferrat until 1305

He was the eldest son of William I, the third Marquis of Montferrat, probably of Francoese origin, from his first marriage to a woman of unknown origin. His father died between 961 and 967, but in 938 the King of Italy Hugo of Arles (with his son-in-law Lotar II) handed over the authority of Aleramo. Aleramo's documents are also mentioned in 934, but it is probably another person. At an unknown date after that date, the eldest son William II became his co-stylist. Certainly William was not among the living when his younger brother Otto I in 967 assumed power as a co-man or himself. Between 967 and 991 it is unclear whether Aleramo still ruled or was dead. In 991, Otto's son, William III, was in power. In 958, the Marquis's name was confirmed by the new Italian king Berengar II of Ivrea, whom his daughter married. However, three years later he allied with Emperor Otto and the Great, who gave him the Langhe (the present frontier of Cuneo and Asti) and from Tanaro and Orba to the Ligurian Sea. These grounds were transferred on the initiative of the second wife of the emperor, St. Burundum Marriage and offspring

For the first time he married an unknown woman with three children:

For the second time he married before 961 with Gilberg, the daughter of Berengar II of Ivrea and his wife Villa of Arles. Children have not survived. Bibliography
