history Of the rulers. of Savoy we find
three Humbefts. The first Is Humbert of
the White Hand, who reigned from 1908 to
1856. and is believed 10 have been the son
Of OHIO William, count OF Burgundy, and
nephew Of Adalbert H., King Of Italy.
Some historian distinguish between several
Humberts, counts OF different earldoms,
contemporaries and neigbbors OF each 9TH
or. RlvaZ, for instance, says that Humbert
OF the White Hand was the fourth SON Of
Humbert, count Of Belley, and OF Amelia
Of Lentzbourg. On the other side, Lewis
Cibrario would not accept this conjecture,
and, In fond anticipation Of the kingdom
Of Italy, made out Humbert Of the White
Hand TO be the founder OF the house OF Sa.

OF Mariana, OF Savoy Of Nyop, Of Bailey

OF Italy, who, according TO Cibrario's the.
