Notes par Amadeus de SAVOY IX

The Blessed Amadeus IX (1 February 1435 - 30 March 1472), nicknamed the Happy, was the Duke of Savoy from 1465 to 1472. The Catholic Church venerates him with a liturgical feast on March 30.

He was born at Thonon-les-Bains, the son of Louis, Duke of Savoy, and Anne de Lusignan, daughter of Janus of Cyprus, King of Cyprus. In 1452, his mother arranged a political marriage to Yolande of Valois (1434-1478), sister of Louis XI of France and daughter of Charles VII of France. Because of his epilepsy and retirement, she was left in control of the state. France and the Holy Roman Empire competed to gain control of Savoy’s strategically important Alpine passes and trade routes. French influence increased in Savoy and involved the country in the wars between France and the emperors. The Castle of Moncalleri in Piedmont, Italy was initially built around 1100 as a fortress on a hill, to command the main southern access to Turin. In the mid-15th century Yolanda turned it into a Renaissance Royal Palace.

Amadeus was a particular protector of Franciscan friars and endowed other religious houses as well as homes for the care of the poor and suffering. He made a pilgrimage to Saint-Claude in 1471. Amadeus died in 1472.

Amadeus IX had 10 children with Yolande of Valois:
Luigi (1453)
Anne (1455-1480), married Frederick IV of Naples (1452-1504), prince of Altamura
Carlo (1456-1471), Prince of Piedmont
Maria (1460-1511) married Philip of Hachberg-Sausenberg (1454-1503)
Blessed Louise (1461-1503), married Hugh, Prince of Chalon and, later, became a Poor Clare nun
Filiberto (1465-1482), oldest surviving son
Bernardo (1467)
Carlo (1468-1490)
James Louis (1470-1485), Count of Genevois, France
Gian Claudio Galeazzo (1472)

His daughter, Louise, became a nun of the Franciscan Second Order after being widowed at a young age. She was also beatified.
