Willa, known as Willa of Tuscany, was the daughter of Boso, Margrave of Tuscany and his wife Willa of Burgundy.[1] She was the wife and queen consort of Berengar II of Italy. She was the mother of Adalbert, Guy, Conradand Rozala of Italy.
She mistreated Adelaide of Italy when Berengar held her captive for several months in 951. The chronicler Liutprand of Cremona, raised at the court atPavia, gives several particularly vivid accounts[2] of Willa's character inAntapodosis.[3] After Berengar's deposition, she was held captive in a German nunnery.
Boso (Italian: Bosone; died after 940?) was a Burgundian nobleman who spent much of his career in Italy, where he became Margrave of Tuscany about 932. He ruled semi-autonomously and was a benefactor of the churches of his region. He lost his office in 936 and probably returned to Burgundy.
Boso was the second son of Count Theobald of Arles and Bertha, illegitimate daughter of King Lothair II.[1] His elder brotherHugh was born in 880/1.[1] His family belonged to the highest ranks of the aristocracy of the Carolingian Empire and were related by marriage to the Carolingian dynasty and the Bosonids, the ruling family of Provence.[1]

Theobald (c. 854-895), count of Arles, was a Frank from the Bosonid-family.
He was a son of Hucbert and married Bertha, an illegitimate daughter of Lothair II, King of Lotharingia, who was renowned for her beauty and spirit.
They had two sons Hugh of Italy and Boso of Tuscany.
Bertha (863-8 March 925 in Lucca) was the second illegitimate daughter of Lothair II, King of Lotharingia, by his concubine Waldrada.[1] She was renowned to be beautiful, spirited, and courageous. Ambition, coupled with her influence, involved her husbands in many wars.
Hucbert (820 - 864) was a Frank and son of Boso the Elder. Therefore he was a Bosonid. His sister was Teutberga, who married Lothair II, a prince of the Carolingian dynasty, the imperial family of Francia. Hucbert was lay-abbot of the Abbey of Saint Maurice-in-Valais.
Lothair's reign was chiefly occupied by his efforts to obtain a divorce from his wife Theutberga, and his relations with his uncles Charles the Bald and Louis the German were influenced by his desire to obtain their support for this endeavor. Lothair, whose desire for the divorce was prompted by his affection for a woman named Waldrada, put away Theutberga, but Hucbert took up arms on her behalf.
