Adelaide, Countess Palatine of Burgundy

Adelaide (or Alice, Alix; died 8 March 1279, Evian) was countess palatine of Burgundy from 1248 until her death. She was also Countess of Savoy and Bresse through her marriage in 1267 to Philip I, Count of Savoy.

Adelaide was the daughter of Otto I, Duke of Merania and Beatrice II, Countess Palatine of Burgundy. She inherited the County after the death of her brother, Otto III, Count Palatine of Burgundy, in 1248. As countess, she came into conflict with King Rudolph I.
