- William IV, Marquess of Montferrat
William IV (c. 1030 – 1100) was the Margrave of Montferrat from 1084.
The date of William's birth is unknown, but it probably took place between 1030 and 1035. He was the eldest son of Otto II and Constance, daughter of Amadeus II of Savoy. He first appears in a document of 1059, when he is placed in power over the city of Savona, probably as per a request of the citizenry for a ruler of their own.
In 1093, he was present when the Emperor Henry IV donated the monastery of Breme to the church of Pavia.
