Stuart's "Royalty for Commoners" (196:34). Count of Albon & Grenoble, sire de Vion. Died as a monk. In October 1027, Guigues went to Rome to press his right to ownership of properties which he claimed through his grandmother, FRIBURGE, and which were identical to properties once owned by RICHARD COMTE DE VIENNE and which had been seized by an ancestor of the Comte de
Maurienne (Savoie). The Pope partitioned the disputed properties and awarded one half to each claimant. But Guigues VI continued the dispute until 1030, when it was settled by the marriage (before 22 October) of his daughter Alix to Amadee, eldest son and heir of the Comte de Maurienne. As part of the marriage settlement, it is believed that Guigues VI relinquished his claim to the moiety of the properties which the Pope had awarded to the Comte de Maurienne. Perhaps as a condition of that settlement, the Pope created Guigues VI first Comte du Viennois (by 1034).
