Aymon, Count of Savoy

Aymon (1291–1343), called the Peaceful, was a younger son of Amadeus V, destined for the church, and was at the papal court in Avignon when his brother Edward, Count of Savoy, died in 1329. His niece Joan claimed the county with her husband's backing, but Savoy had never had a female ruler; Aymon took it and paid her off.

His early reign passed in the old feud with the dauphins of Viennois, until Philip VI brokered a truce in 1333. Edward III of England and Philip VI both courted him; he held back until Philip settled a lasting peace with the Dauphiné in 1337, and later fought for France.

His nickname came from settling his disputes with Amadeus III of Geneva by negotiation. He died in 1343, leaving Savoy to his son Amadeus VI.
