Guido (bishop Of Turin)
Guido of Turin (died 1046) was an Italian bishop. He was bishop of Turin from 1037 until his death in 1046. According to a forged diploma, Emperor Conrad II supposedly awarded the bishopric of Maurienne to the bishop of Turin during the first year of Guido's episcopate. Guido had a special care for the monastery of Santa Maria in Cavour, which his predecessor, Bishop Landulf of Turin, had founded. In 1041 Guido confirmed Landulf's donations to Cavour, and also intervened to ensure that Adelaide of Turin ceded property to the monastery. Then, in 1044, Guido donated the church of San Secondo, located near the Dora Riparia The Dora Riparia (; pms, Dòira Rivaira; french: Doire Ripaire or ''Doire''; la, Duria minor) is an alpine river, a left-hand tributary of the Po.

Conrad II, Holy Roman Emperor
Conrad II ( – 4 June 1039), also known as and , was the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire from 1027 until his death in 1039. The first of a succession of four Salian emperors, who reigned for one century until 1125, Conrad ruled the kingdoms of Germany (from 1024), Italy (from 1026) and Burgundy (from 1033). The son of Franconian count Henry of Speyer (also Henry of Worms) and Adelaide of Metz of the ''Matfriding dynasty'', that had ruled the Duchy of Lorraine from 959 until 972, Conrad inherited the titles of count of Speyer and Worms during childhood after his father had died around the year 990. He extended his influence beyond his inherited lands, as he came into favor of the princes of the kingdom. When the imperial dynastic line was left without a successor after Emperor Henry II's death in 1024, on 4 September an assembly of the imperial princes appointed the 34-year-old Conrad king (''Rex romanorum''). Conrad II Ottonian adopted many aspects of his Ottonian predece ...

Ancient Diocese Of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne
The French Roman Catholic diocese of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne (San Giovanni di Moriana in Italian) has since 1966 been effectively suppressed, formally united with the archdiocese of Chambéry. While it has not been suppressed, and is supposed to be on a par with Chambéry and the diocese of Tarentaise, it no longer has a separate bishop or existence. History * Saint Gregory of Tours's "De Gloria Martyrum" relates how the church of Maurienne, belonging then to the Diocese of Turin, became a place of pilgrimage, after the holy woman Thigris or Thecla, a native of Valloires, had brought to it as sacred relic from the East a finger of St. John the Baptist. Saint Guntram, King of Burgundy, took from the Lombards in 574 the valleys of Maurienne and Suse (Susa Valley, or Val de Suse), and in 576 founded near the shrine a bishopric, detached from the then Diocese of Turin (in Piedmont, northern Italy), as suffragan of the Archdiocese of Vienne, also comprising the Briançonnais. Its fir ...

Landulf (bishop Of Turin)
Landulf of Turin (died 1037) was an Italian bishop. He was bishop of Turin from 1011 until his death in 1037. Life According to Peter Damian, Landulf was an imperial chaplain, before Henry II appointed him bishop of Turin. One of Landulf's first acts as bishop of Turin was to confirm, and increase, the donations of his predecessor, Bishop Gezo of Turin, to the episcopal monastery of San Solutore in Turin. In January 1015, Landulf was in Rome, where he witnessed Pope Benedict VIII’s confirmation of the Abbey of Fruttuaria’s ‘apostolic liberty’. In 1017 Landulf made a donation to the episcopal convent of San Pietro in Turin. In 1022, Landulf was present at the synod of Pavia, presided over by Benedict VIII and Henry II. Around 1028 Landulf worked with Ulric Manfred II of Turin, Bishop Alric of Asti, and Archbishop Aribert of Milan to combat heresy at Monforte. Because the diocese of Turin had been devastated "not only by pagans, but also by perfidious Christians" (''non ...

Adelaide Of Susa
Adelaide of Turin (also ''Adelheid'', ''Adelais'', or ''Adeline''; – 19 December 1091) was the countess of part of the March of Ivrea and the marchioness of Turin in Northwestern Italy from 1034 to her death. She was the last of the Arduinici. She is sometimes compared to her second cousin, and close contemporary, Matilda of Tuscany. Biography Early life Born in Turin to Ulric Manfred II and Bertha around 1014/1020, Adelaide's early life is not well known. Adelaide had two younger sisters, Immilla and Bertha. She may also have had a brother, whose name is not known, who predeceased her father. Thus, on Ulric Manfred's death (in December 1033 or 1034), Adelaide inherited the bulk of her father's property. She received property in the counties of Turin (especially in the Susa Valley), Auriate, and Asti. Adelaide also inherited property, but probably not comital authority, in the counties of Albenga, Alba, Bredulo and Ventimiglia. It is likely that Adelaide's mother, B ...

Dora Riparia
The Dora Riparia (; pms, Dòira Rivaira; french: Doire Ripaire or ''Doire''; la, Duria minor) is an alpine river, a left-hand tributary of the Po. It is long (of which 5 km in France), with a drainage basin. It originates in the Cottian Alps, close to the Col de Montgenèvre in France, where it is called the Piccola Dora. Its name becomes the Dora Riparia after the confluence with the Ripa in the Argentera Valley and the Thuras de Bousson close to Cesana. Further down the valley, in Oulx, the river grows thanks to its main upper tributary, the Dora di Bardonecchia, and before Susa is augmented by the Galambra and Cenischia. After Susa, it only receives minor tributaries: from the left, Gravio by Condove, Sessi by Caprie, and Messa by Almese, from the right Scaglione by Meana and Gravio by Villar Focchiardo. It runs through the Susa Valley, and after having crossed part of the plain of the Po and the territories of the comunes of Avigliana, Alpignano, Pianezza and ...

Cunibert Of Turin
Cunibert of Turin (died c.1082) was an Italian bishop. According to Anselm of Besate, Cunibert was a member of the Besate dynasty from Milan. Cunibert is first documented as bishop of Turin at the Council of Pavia (October 1046). His episcopate lasted from then until his death, c.1082. Cunibert and Gregorian Reform Cunibert had an ambiguous relationship with Gregorian reform. In April 1059, Cunibert attended the Lateran council held by Pope Nicholas II in Rome. During the Cadalan Schism (1061-1064) he supported the Pope Alexander II against Bishop Cadalus of Parma. He also supported the canons of San Lorenzo at Oulx. Yet Cunibert could not always be relied upon in matters of reform. Peter Damian accused Cunibert of being too lax in his dealings with simonists and unchaste priests. Damian wrote to Adelaide of Susa to see if she could encourage Cunibert to take action against them. Cunibert and the Abbey of San Michele della Chiusa Cunibert was opposed to the appointment of Bened ...

11th-century Italian Roman Catholic Bishops
The 11th century is the period from 1001 (Roman numerals, MI) through 1100 (Roman numerals, MC) in accordance with the Julian calendar, and the 1st century of the 2nd millennium. In the history of Europe, this period is considered the early part of the High Middle Ages. There was, after a brief ascendancy, a sudden decline of Byzantine Empire, Byzantine power and a rise of Normans, Norman domination over much of Europe, along with the prominent role in Europe of notably influential popes. Christendom experienced a formal schism in this century which had been developing over previous centuries between the Latin West and Byzantine East, causing a split in its two largest denominations to this day: Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. In Song dynasty China and the Islamic Golden Age, classical Islamic world, this century marked the high point for both classical History of science and technology in China, Chinese civilization, science and Technology of the Song dynasty, technol ...
