About Guy "the Philosopher", margrave of Tuscany

Someone thinks Adalberto III, the Margrave is his son. But: <<Lamberto, Guido 's other brother, followed him as marquess of Tuscany and count of Lucca. On April 13, 945, a sentence appointed Oberto, Lamberto's descendant, duke of Spoleta, marquess of Milan, count of Luni and count Palatine...>>*http://www.imalaspina.com/en/history-of-the-malaspinas.html

{{( we know Margrave Oberto I Obizzo, count of Luni for sure son of Adalberto III, the Margrave, so this last one is Lamberto's son )]}



- https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Toscana-3 (abt. 0899 - 0930)

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy,_Margrave_of_Tuscany - He had one daughter, Theodora (or Bertha), and probably a few other children of which nothing else is known. None of his children survived him and when he died in 928 or 929 his brother Lambert succeeded him as count and duke of Lucca and margrave of Tuscany.

a) GUIDO (-930). Liudprand names "Wido" as son of "Adelbertus Tuscorum marchio" and of Berta[731]. He succeeded his father in 915 as GUIDO Marchese of Tuscany, Conte di Lucca, as a minor. He was imprisoned in Mantua 916-[920]. m ([923/24]%29 as her second husband, MAROZIA, widow of ALBERICO Marchese di Spoleto, daughter of TEOFILACTO Senator of Rome & his wife Theodora --- (-in prison [932/37]). Liudprand names "Marotiam et Theodora" as the two daughters of Theodora[732]. The wife of "Albericus marchio" is referred to as "Theophilacti filia" in the Benedicti Chronicon, although not named[733]. Liudprand names "Maroziam scortum Romanam" as wife of Guido[734], and in a later passage names "Marozia, scortum impudens satis" when recording her marriage to King Ugo after the death of her second husband[735]. She married thirdly ([932]) as his third wife, Ugo King of Italy. The Memorial of "Maroza" states that she died "Jan VII indic IX"[736].
