Count of Geneva

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The title Count of Geneva originated in the tenth century, in the Kingdom of Burgundy; it was carried by Aymar of Geneva, who married Bertha of Flanders, daughter of Baudouin III, count of Flanders, and died in 1016. Their son, Geraud, count of Geneva, was born about 1012 and died about 1045 . The title count of Geneva passed into the House of Savoy, where the title is maintained as a courtesy title.
