Name Humbert of Children John II of Viennois		Died April 12, 1307 Grandchildren Humbert II of Viennois

Humbert I of Viennois (c. 1240 – 12 April 1307) was baron of la Tour-du-Pin and then also became, by his marriage, dauphin of Viennois. He was the son of Albert IV, baron of la Tour-du-Pin, and of Beatrice de Coligny (herself the daughter of Hugh I, lord of Coligny and of Beatrice d'Albon, dauphine of Viennois).

In 1294, Humbert became a vassal of King Philip IV of France in exchange for £500 annual pension, which would give impetus to the acquisition of the Dauphine, by King Philip VI of France, fifty years later.

In 1273 he married Anne of Burgundy (daughter of Guigues VII of Viennois) - their nine children were:

John II (1280 † 1319), succeeded his father as dauphin of Viennois

Hugues († 1329), baron de Faucigny

Guigues († 1319), seigneur de Montauban.

Alix (1280 † 1309), married John I (1275 † 1333), count of Forez in 1296

Marie, married Aymar de Poitiers-Valentinois

Marguerite, married Frederick I († 1336), marquis de Salucce in 1303

Beatrice (1275 † 1347), married Hugh I of Chalon-Arlay in 1312

Henri (1296 † 1349), bishop of Metz

Catherine († 1337), married Philip of Savoy (1278 † 1334), count of Piedmont and prince of Achaea in 1312
