Amadeus VII (March 1360, Chambéry – 1 November 1391), known as the Red Count, was Count of Savoy from 1383 to 1391.
Amadeus was the son of Amadeus VI, Count of Savoy and Bonne of Bourbon.
Amadeus VII was known for his hospitality, for he would entertain people of all stations and never turned a person from his table without a meal.
He married Bonne of Berry, daughter of John, Duke of Berry, who was the younger brother of Charles V of France.
They had three children:
Upon his death at age 29 from tetanus, controversy arose because of his will.
Amadeus VII left the important role of guardian of his son and heir, Amadeus VIII, to his own mother, a sister of the powerful Duke de Bourbon, instead of following the tradition of appointing the child's mother, who was a daughter of the equally powerful Duke de Berry.
It took three months of negotiations to restore peace in the family.

Amadeus VIII( 4 September 1383 – 7 January 1451) was a Savoyard nobleman, the son of Amadeus VII, Count of Savoy and Bonne of Berry.
He was surnamed the Peaceful.

Joan of Geneva
Joan of Geneva( born c. 1040, died 1095) was a Countess Consort of Savoy; married to Amadeus II, Count of Savoy.
According to the much later" Chronicles of Savoy", Amadeus married Joan, daughter of" Girard, Count of Burgundy", which scholars have surmised to have been Count Gerold of Geneva.
The" Chronicon Altacumbae" says only that" the wife of Amadeus[ was] from Burgundy", which might refer to Amadeus I.
If his wife were Genevan, it would explain how the house of Savoy came so early to possess a large portion of the Genevois.
His wife, whatever her name and origins, bore Amadeus II several children, although there is some uncertainty about how many:
