Peter of Geneva

Peter (died 1392) was the fourth of five sons of Count

Count of Geneva in 1370. When he died without a son to succeed him in 1392, the county passed to the fifth of the brothers, then Antipope Clement VII.^[1]

Peter led a contingent of Genevans in an invasion of the

Joan I of Naples, all supporters of his brother's claim to the papal throne.^[2] He was present at the deathbed of Amadeus at Castropignano on 1 March 1383. The Savoyard treasurer Pierre Voisin, in his final account, described Amadeus' death as occurring "on [the] first day of the month of March ... at about midnight, in the presence of Louis, duke of Calabria and Anjou, Lord Pierre, count of Geneva. . ."^[2]

Around 1377 Peter was employing a Jewish physician, Isaac de Portis.[3]
