  Noted events in his life were:

• Acceded: Count of Neuchâtel, 1272. In 1272, he succeeded his father as Count of Neuchâtel. However, his brothers questioned the legitimacy of his sole rule and demanded a share of his inheritance. They asked the grandfather Theodoric III, Count of Montbéliard to arbitrate the dispute. Theodoric deviated from the usual practice in those days, and decided that the county should be regarded as an indivisible entity. He awarded the county to Amadeus, but acknowledged that his brothers were entitled to a share. However, the brothers would have to swear allegiance to Amadeus.

Amadeus married Jordanna of Arberg [55746] [MRIN: 13730]. (Jordanna of Arberg [55746] died after 1288.)
