Piedmont
The Lordship of Piedmont, around Turin and Pinerolo, was governed by the Savoy-Achaia branch of the House of Savoy. In 1337 its lord James was a vassal of the Count of Savoy.
After defeat at Gamenario in 1345, James retook Chieri in 1347 with Savoyard troops. His lands were confiscated in a later quarrel with the count and restored in 1362. The last lord, Louis, founded the University of Turin in 1405; his death without children in 1418 returned Piedmont to the main Savoy line, which moved its capital to Turin in 1563.
