Historical background
SAVOY - COUNTY OF SAVOY - AMADEUS VI
(1343-1383)
Amédée VI was born in Chambéry in 1334 from the union of Count Aymon and Yolande de Montferrat. He succeeded his father who died in 1343. The Treaty of Paris, signed in 1355, put an end to the conflict between Savoy and Dauphinois. From now on, the Viennese will belong to Dauphiné and the country of Gex as well as Faucigny to Savoie. In 1348, Savoy was not spared by the Great Plague. In 1360, Amédée VI began a war between Count Saluzzo and Milan... which lasted around twenty years. In 1362, he founded the Order of the Collar of Savoy. He participates in the crusade against the Turks diverted to Bulgaria and manages to free the Emperor John Paleologus. In 1380, an ally of Louis d'Anjou, he set out to conquer Naples but died there of the plague in its surroundings in 1383. He was buried in Hautecombe.
