	Charles III, Duke of Savoy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charles III of Savoy (October 10, 1486 – August 1553), often called Charles the Good, was Duke of Savoy from 1504 to 1553, although most of his lands were ruled by the French between 1536 and his death.
		Charles was allied with the Habsburg camp in Western European politics, where Francis I of France and Emperor Charles V battled for ascendancy.
		Thus duke Charles was one of the greatest losers in those struggles of the mighty, the small who was left crushed.

	Emmanuel Philibert
		Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy, son of Charles III and Beatrice of Portugal, one of the most renowned princes of the later Renaissance, was born on the 8th of July 1528.
		Charles, after trying in vain to remain neutral in the wars between France and the emperor Charles V, had been forced to side with the latter, whereupon his duchy was overrun with foreign soldiery and became the battlefield of the rival armies.
		On the death of Charles IX of France in 1574 the new king, Henri III, passed through Piedmont on his way from Poland; Emmanuel gave him a magnificent reception, and obtained from him a promise that Pinerolo and Savigliano should be evacuated, which was carried out at the end of the year.

	The History of Protestantism by J. A. Wylie
		The absorption of one petty principality after another was daily enlarging the dominions of the duke, which, sweeping past and around Geneva, enclosed it as in a net, with a hostile land bristling with castles and swarming with foes.

		The duke, having entered the city, summoned a council of such citizens as were still to be found in it, and with the axes of his halberdiers suspended over their heads, these spiritless and lukewarm men promised to accept him as their prince.
