Upon the death of the emperor Henry II, he was offered the kingdom of Italy but declined to contest the title against Conrad II. Life He was the son and successor of William IV by his wife Emma of Blois, daughter of Theobald I of Blois.

He was described by Acerbo Morena as of medium height and compact build, with a round, somewhat ruddy face and hair so fair as to be almost white. He was eloquent, intelligent and good-humoured, generous but not extravagant. Dynastically, he was extremely well connected: a nephew of Pope Callixtus II, a half-brother of Amadeus III of Savoy whose daughter, Mati ...
