Peter II of Savoy

Peter II (c. 1203–1268), called the Little Charlemagne, was a younger son of Count Thomas I. He carved out a lordship in Vaud, gained Faucigny by marrying Agnes in 1236, and rebuilt Chillon Castle. After his niece Eleanor of Provence married Henry III, he held the Honour of Richmond from 1240 and built the Savoy Palace in London.

In 1263 he returned to succeed his childless nephew Boniface as Count of Savoy and issued the first county-wide statutes. He died on 15 May 1268 without a male heir, was buried at Hautecombe, and was succeeded by his brother Philip.
