Aleramo, Marquess of Montferrat
Aleram (Italian: Aleramo; died 991) was the marquess of Montferrat and Liguria (the marca Aleramica) in Northern Italy until his death. He was son of William I of Montferrat and is mentioned in documents for the first time in 933 when he received a fief near Vercelli by Hugh of Italy. In 955 he was invested of lands in what is now the province of Alessandria.
In 958 he was appointed as marquess by Berengar II of Italy, whose daughter Gerberga he had married. Three years later, however, Aleram sided for emperor Otto I, who gave him further lands in the Langhe and from the Tanaro, the Orba and the Ligurian Sea. The new grants had been favoured by Adelaide of Burgundy, wife of Otto I from 951 and previous wife of Lothair II, and also daughter of Rudolph II of Burgundy.
When Italy came under the direct control of the Holy Roman Empire in 962, Aleramo's titles were confirmed by the Emperor Otto I.
Family

by: AlarmLet me put my arms around you
Give me refuge in your soul
I have drunk from fire water
Free spirits rising in the world
The new moon rises from the darkness
Lord I need a healing prayer
Give me a medicine for fever
Give me the cure, give me the cure so I can see
Burnt back to the bone
You gotta leave this child alone
I ain't got no home
Iæ¦ Burnt right back
Burnt right back to the bone
I am falling, I am falling
Feels like Iæ¦ fixin' to die
Wild, wild horses could not drag me away
From this earth to heavens gate
Burnt back to the bone
You gotta leave this child alone
I ain't got no home
Iæ¦ Burnt right back
Burnt right back to the bone
Running like a river
Rolling like a train
Free spirits rising
In the world today
Free spirits rising in the world
Burnt back to the bone
You'd better leave this child alone
I ain't got no home
Burnt back to the bone
You'd better leave this child alone
I ain't got no home
Running like a river
Rolling like a train
Why don't we do it
Why don't we do it
Why don't we do it in the raw
You'd better leave this child alone
Come on baby
