Notes:

Aymon or Aimon I of Geneva, who died in 1128, is Count of Geneva [Note 1] from 1080 to 1128. He is the son of Gérold, Count of Geneva, and Thetberge or Thietburge, daughter of Rodolphe de Rheinfelden, Duke of Swabia and Thetberge. Biography Edit Reign Aymon is the first earl of the Geoldian dynasty to be the best known [2]. He is mentioned for the first time in an act of 1080 with his parentage, his father Count Gérold and his half-brother Conon, whom he succeeded [ReG 1]. This act is a donation to the parish church of Saint-Marcel, in Albanian, donated by his parents to Ainay Abbey twenty years ago [ReG 2]. This policy of support for the Church continues during his reign, including support for the foundation of a priory at Saint-Innocent, on the banks of Lake Bourget, in 1084 [ReG 3]. In 1090, an act of confirmation mentions Ita or Ida de Faucigny as wife of Count Aymon [ReG 4]. The county gives, towards 1091, the valley of Chamonix, "all the extent of country between the torrent of the Diosaz, the Mont Blanc and the Col de Balme, consisting of arable land, forests, pastures and hunts" [3 ], to the Benedictine monks of the abbey of Saint-Michel-de-la-Cluse, located in Piedmont [4], [ReG 5], [2]. His mother, Thietburge, had for first husband the lord Louis I of Faucigny, Aymon has for half-brothers the lord Guillaume Ier as well as Guy, bishop of Geneva (1083-1119) [ReG 5], [5], [6] ], [7]. This is why we find his last two as witnesses of the founding act of the abbey [ReG 5]. Conflict with the bishop of Geneva The county power at this time rivals the ecclesiastics that are found in particular in the appointments [2], thus opposing the Gregorian reform that is taking place [2], [8] ]. The count benefits that the episcopal seat is in the hands of his half-brother Guy de Faucigny to monopolize part of the rights of the diocese of Geneva as a lawyer [8], even according to Pierre Duparc by abusing his power for "s to appropriate, even more directly, church property, episcopal revenues, churches or tithes "[9], [8]. Aymon continues by imposing its power on the city by the construction of a castle in the upper town, thus dominating the Bourg-de-Four and the eastern gate of the city. [8], [10], [11]. The castle will also be mentioned for the first time in the Seyssel agreement [11]. Faced with the assertion of the comtal power, the new bishop of Geneva, Humbert de Grammont, strongly opposes [2], [9], [12]. The prelate calls for the return of all the property that the count has taken to the Church [9], [12]. He ends up excommunicating the count [2], [9], [12]. The conflict between the two powerful is settled during an agreement or treaty signed at Seyssel in 1124, probably mid-December [2], [12], [ReG 6]. Indeed, Count Aymon goes to meet the bishop who comes back from Vienna and it is at the level of this city [12]. This treaty provides for the abandonment of the temporal claims of the count on the city of Geneva for the benefit of the bishop [2], [ReG 6]. The count retains only the castle of Bourg-de-Four [2]. In return, he obtains certain rights and property of the bishop in the county [2]. The conflict, however, is not over and the successors of Aymon will still be in conflict with the episcopal power of Geneva, which will not end until 1219 [12]. End of Reign and Succession Modify This section is empty, insufficiently detailed or incomplete. Your help is welcome ! Family Edit Son of Count Gerold and Thetberge of Rheinfelden. This last was widow in first marriage of the lord Louis I of Faucigny. He therefore has Guillaume Ier or Vuillielme as brothers, and Guy de Faucigny, bishop of Geneva, [ReG 5], [6], [7], [13]. He is also mentioned as a nephew of Conon I, bishop of Maurienne [ReG 7]. Aymon Wife (v.1090 [ReG 4] or 1095) It (t) a or Ida [ReG 8], for some of Faucigny, probably daughter of Louis I, lord of Faucigny [14] and his wife Thetberge de Rheinfelden [15], making her his half-sister, for others, notably Frédéric Charles Jean Gingins de la Sarraz, she would belong to the de Glâne [16], [17]. Pierre Duparc notes, in his work on the county of Geneva, that "The origin of his wife Ita remains unknown; it does not seem in particular that it comes from the family of Faucigny, nor that of Glâne ", because of the absence of probative sources for one or the other hypothesis [18]. Aymon and Ita have three children: Gérold (v. 1090 [ReG 4] 95? - 1154?) Lecerina / Laure (1096 - 1140), who marries Guillaume-Hugues II, lord of Montélimar (alias Guillaume-Hugues de Royans, lord de Monteil, from the family of Adhémar) Amédée I (1098 - 1178), future count

Aymon married de Faucigny, Itha in 1098 in Genève, Switzerland. Itha (daughter of de Faucigny, Louis and de Faucigny, Leticia) was born in 1078 in Genève, Switzerland; died in 1162. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
