Biography
Boniface del Vasto (c.1060-c.1130) was the margrave of Savona and WesternLiguria from 1084 to c.1130. He was the son and successor of Otto and ofBertha, daughter of Ulric Manfred II of Turin.[1] Boniface was a memberof the Aleramici dynasty.

As his first wife, Boniface intended to marry an unnamed woman who hadbeen betrothed to his brother, Anselm, before his death. In 1079 PopeGregory VII commissioned the bishops of Turin, Asti and Alba to convinceBoniface del Vasto not to marry the woman, because her betrothal to hisbrother created a relationship of affinity between them.[2]
Boniface is sometimes said to have married Alice of Savoy, the daughterof Peter of Savoy.[3] This is unlikely, however, since Boniface and Alicewere first-cousins-once-removed (Boniface''s mother Bertha and Alice''sgrandmother Adelaide were sisters), and thus far too closely related tobe permitted to marry according to canon law.
Boniface married a woman named Agnes, who is thought to have been thedaughter of Hugh de Capet of France, Count of Vermandois.[4]

Probably with Agnes of Vermandois, Boniface had several children,including:
Manfred I of Saluzzo
William, lord of Busca, and perhaps also Lancia
Hugh
Anselm, progenitor of the margraves of Ceva
Henry, from whom the Del Carretto dynasty were descended.
Otto Boverio, margrave of Loreto
Boniface, ''the younger'', bishop of Cortemilla
Sybil, who married William VI of Montpellier
Boniface was also the guardian of his brother Manfred''s children: Henrydel Vasto, who married Flandrina, a daughter of Roger I of Sicily, andAdelaide del Vasto, who was Roger''s third wife. Following Roger''s death,Adelaide married Baldwin I of Jerusalem. Two of Manfred''s unnameddaughters married Roger I of Sicily''s sons from previous relationships,Jordan, Count of Syracuse, and Geoffrey, Count of Ragusa (who may havedied before the marriage actually took place).[5]
