| There is some confusion with the families covered on this page. As is often the case, ROYL provides useful leads but is thought to have sometimes confused sons with sons-in-law. The following was combined from various sources and should be viewed with the caution appropriate to all pages within this 'Ancient & Mythical' section of the database. [The titles (Count, Marquis, Duke, etc) warrant further investigation as they may not be being applied with appropriate consistency.] | |||||||||||||||

| Most web sites that cover this family agree with ROYL (table CCCCXVI) and show Azzo I (who married Artopergue and was father of Azzo II who married Kunigunde) as son of this Humberto. However, there is an inconsistency within ROYL as table CCXLII shows Azzo II as son of Hugh, Marquis of Este, presumably the Hugo shown by table CCCCXVI as brother of Azzo I. GenEU shows the parents of Azzo I as Hugo (son of a different Alberto Azzo) by Marie d'Este. We have some faith in GenEU and suspect that the connection was as follows ... | |||||||||||||||

| Clarifying the male-line ancestry we show for this family has been made particularly difficult by the frequency of the appearance in different generations of the names Alberto (or Adalbert) and/or Humberto (or Oberto), some of the former using the additional name of Azzo. This warrants further investigation for which we do not have the time at present. The following largely follows GenEU with presumptions on certain wives as indicated. | |||||||||||||||
| Alberto Azzo I | |||||||||||||||
