amadeus vii -lrb- march 1360 , chambéry -- november 1 , 1391 -rrb- , 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 : amadeus viii , later known as antipope felix v , married mary of burgundy -lrb- 1380 -- 1422 -rrb- , daughter of philip the bold bonne -lrb- d. 1432 -rrb- married to louis of piedmont , the final of the savoy-archaea branch ; see also thomas ii of savoy joan -lrb- d. 1460 -rrb- married to giangiacomo paleologo , marquis of montferrat .
upon his death at age 31 , 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 .
