In the early eleventh

appoint a new margrave.
 Amadeus Count of Bourgogne (Burgundy) was born circa ???809 and died 860. His father was Hunroch or Unrouch III, Margrave of Fruili and mother, Countess Engletron (Engeltrude) of Paris, daughter of Beque (Bego) Count of Paris and Alpais (Aupais) De Aquitain, Princess of the West, daughter of Charlemagne (Charles the Great) and Hildegard Von Vinzgau of Serbia. Amadeus married wife unknown and had a son, Anscar de Oscheret, eventually Anscar di Ivrea. Adalbert I Margrave di Ivrea was born 849? and died circa 923. His father was Anscar of Ivrea and mother unknown. He and his wife, Gisele of Fruili had a son, Berengar di Ivrea. Berengar II Margrave of Ivrea and King of Italy was born 919 and died on 6 August 966.. His parents were Adalbert I of Ivrea and Gisele of Fruili. He married , before 936, Princess Willa of Tuscany, who was born 924 in Tuscany, Italy, a daughter of Boson di Toscana, Marchese di Toscana and Willa II di Borgogna They had children: a daughter, Urraca d'Ivrea. She married Gozelo I, Duc de Basse-Lorraine, son of Godefroi, Comte de Verdun, a son, Adalbert, King of Italy died circa 972 a son, Guy or Guidodi Ivrea, a son, Conrad di Ivrea, and a daughter, Princes of Italy Susanna Rozala, born between 950 - 960, After Berengar's successful uprising of the nobles in 945, all real power and patronage in the Kingdom of Italy was concentrated in his hands, with the actual king only having nominal influence. After Hugh of Aries withdrew to Provence and left his young son Lothar, as titular king. Lothar died in 950. Berengar attempted to gain legitimacy by forcing Lothar's widow, to marry his son, Adalbert, she being the respective daughter, daughter-in-law, and widow of the last three kings of Italy. Instead she entreated the protection of Otto, King of Germany. Berengar then seized the opportunity and declared himself king, with his son Adalbert as co-king. Adelaide's requests for intervention resulted in Otto's invasion in 951. Otto received the homage of the Italian nobility and assumed the title of a King of the Lombards. He forced Berengar to pay him homage (952) and married Adelaide himself. Berengar and his son Adalbert remained kings as Otto's vassals. After 960, they attacked Pope John XII, on whose appeal Otto marched into Rome and was crowned emperor (962). John's subsequent negotiations with Berengar caused Otto to depose the pope and capture and imprison Berengar in Germany (963). His consort was Willa, the daughter of Boso, count of Arles and Avignon and margrave of Tuscany; she mistreated Adelaide when Berengar held her captive for several months in 951. The chronicler Liutprand of Cremona, raised at his court at Pavia, gives several particularly vivid accounts of Willa's character. She was held captive in a German nunnery. Guy or Guido Margrave di Ivrea born 940 and died 25 June 965 was the margrave of Ivrea from 950 to his death.
