	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Savoy
		The oldest possessions of the line of Savoy were the counties of Maurienne (the upper valley of the River Arc), Savoy (the district between Arc, Isère, and the middle course of the Rhone), and also Belley, with Bugey as its chief town.
		Victor Amadeus II (1675-1730), son of Charles Emmanuel, refused in 1690 to bring an army to the aid of Louis XIV against the alliance between the emperor, England, Sweden, Spain, and the Netherlands; in return the French seized Savoy and Piedmont.
		During the French Revolution Savoy was occupied by the French, and by the Treaty of Nice in 1796 was surrendered to France together with Nice.

	Commonwealth of France’s Louis XI (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		France's King Louis XI, who reigned from 1461 to 1483, created the modern form of nation-state, or commonwealth, in which the nation's wealth is seen as the common property of the nation and its whole people; which wealth is a function of the increase in the free energy of the economy as a whole.
		Louis' father, Charles VII, the Dauphin and heir to the throne, was officially disinherited.
		Louis needed a single national currency and a unified investment plan, which prioritized the physical economy; his dirigist program had to include a tax-incentive program, and of no less importance, he needed a national credit policy that would foster capital-intensive investment.

	: : History : :
		The new duchy was further enlarged at the death of his relative, Louis of Savoy, Duke of Piedmont, the last descendant of Thomas II of Savoy who had founded the Piedmont branch of the dynasty.
		But Louis was induced to undertake a costly and unsuccessful campaign to recapture Cyprus, for which he succeeded to the title of King of Cyprus, Jerusalem and Armenia.
		Savoy was now more than ever caught between the rivalry of its two neighbors, France and the Holy Roman Empire, and Charles could not side with one without provoking the other.

	Louis XV, king of France. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		1710–74, king of France (1715–74), great-grandson and successor of King Louis XIV, son of Louis, titular duke of Burgundy, and Marie Adelaide of Savoy.
		Louis, however, lacked both the will and interest to govern forcefully, and his reign was influenced by a succession of favorites.
		The domestic abuses of Louis XIV’s rule and the disastrous financial policy of the regency were partly liquidated by Fleury, but the extravagances of Louis XV’s court, the expense of warfare, and the defeat of attempts at reform left the monarchy weak by the time of the king’s death.

	The Commonwealth of France's Louis XI: Foundations of the Nation State
		Louis XI created the first modern nation-state committed to educating its population and raising the living standards of the approximately 95 percent of the population which, up to Louis's time, lived a life not much better than the animals they tended.
		Louis guaranteed the expansion of industries by subsidizing the cities, including the medieval cities; such subsidies came from income taxes, which were levied in inverse proportion to the productivity of the earner.
		Louis wrote thousands of laws, which were read in the public squares across France, to both inform the population of the new regulations and to invite them to participate in such newly created economic activities.

	A Daughter Of The Aurora Page 3
		Louis Savoy, aware of his rival's greater wisdom in the matter of dog-driving, had followed his lead and also waited.
		Savoy did likewise with his relay, and the abandoned teams, swerving to right and left, collided with the others and piled the ice with confusion.
		And when Savoy saw Wolf Fang heading his rival's team, he knew that he was out of the running, and he cursed softly to himself, in the way woman is most frequently cursed.

		Louis was the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte whom he clearly modeled himself after.
		Louis was born the last of three sons of Louis and Hortense Bonaparte, king and queen of Holland during the regime of his uncle Napoleon I. With the final Restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in 1815 he left France for exile.

		They failed to see more than the exposed card, so that to the very last Forty Mile was in a state of pleasant obfuscation, and it was not until she cast her final trump that it came to reckon up the score.
		They had taken a shrewd margin of time, for it was their wish to arrive at Olaf Nelson's claim some days previous to the expiration of its immunity, that they might rest themselves, and their dogs be fresh for the first relay.
		So Harrington and Savoy now fell to the ancient custom of "ride and run." Leaping from their sleds, tow- thongs in hand, they ran behind till the blood resumed its wonted channels and expelled the frost, then back to the sleds till the heat again ebbed away.

	Cyprus History: Lusignan Period - Charlotte, Queen of Cyprus, Jerusalem and Armenia
		She managed to persuade her half-brother Archbishop Jacques to kill a royal chamberlain said to have been implicated in death of her husband John, who had incurred the enmity of Queen Helena and died in mysterious circumstances, though most likely poisoned.
		Charlotte died (1487) bequeathing sovereignty of Cyprus to Savoy.
		It is not clear, however, whether her husband was Louis, Duke of Savoy (1440-1465) and therefore mother of Amadeus IX, Duke of Savoy, but considering her bequest of Cyprus to Savoy, this is a possible deduction.
