Savoy
Savoy grew from the Alpine fiefs of Humbert the White-Handed. In 1337 Count Aymon of the House of Savoy ruled the county from Chambéry.
Amadeus VII gained Nice in 1388, and Amadeus VIII became duke in 1416. French troops occupied Savoy in 1536; after peace in 1559, Emmanuel Philibert moved his capital to Turin in 1562. Victor Amadeus II acquired Sicily in 1713 and exchanged it for Sardinia in 1720. France annexed Savoy in 1792, but the Congress of Vienna restored its Alpine lands in 1815.
