Installed by Rudolph III, King of Burgundy, officially in 1003, the House of Savoy maintained independence as counts (see County of Savoy, ca 1000 to 1416) and then dukes (see Duchy of Savoy, 1416 to 1714), until Savoia was linked with the Kingdom of Sardinia, which included Piemonte in north-western Italy.

Welcome to the Savoy Ballroom Website www.savoyballroom.com Harlem's Savoy Ballroom was a major music and dance powerhouse of the SWING ERA that lasted from the early 1930's to the mid 1940's. The sad truth is that the Savoy records were destroyed and thus in order to understand its history we are obliged to undertake the laborious task of collecting surviving fragments of information and gathering oral recollections in order to piece together the main facets of the story. In a way they could all be right in that the Savoy represented something special to each generation that was fortunate enough to swing out on its superlative floor, although of course each individual claim does not cancel out the validity of the competing versions of the other generations. www.savoyballroom.com /exp/introduction/welcome.htm   (948 words)

St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Savoy Ballroom The Savoy was a place of intense and creative dance activity--new and old steps were refined and taken to new heights in response to the evolution of swing jazz and be-bop. Savoy dancers even adapted to the new and difficult-to-dance-to rhythms of be-bop, and the bands that played there likewise created new rhythms in response to the movement of the dancers. The Savoy Ballroom was instrumental in the dissemination of swing dance and played an important role in the coalescence of popular dance and music. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_g1epc/is_tov/ai_2419101066   (1004 words)

The best Lauren Savoy managed during the entire concert was a fine version of "You Should Have Told Me", one of the few songs she sang really well. It seemd the better part of the audience hadn't quite gotten "Savoy" under their skin yet, because the band didn't get an emotional response from the audience before the 7th song on the setlist was played, which was the Lackluster Me single,"Rain. groups.msn.com /Savoycom/savoyarticles.msnw?action=get_message&mview=0&ID_Message=632&LastModified=4675491969519529874   (589 words)

Savoia - The Royal House of Savoy The Savoys were custodians of a mystical sword and an equally mystical robe, the "Shroud of Turin." Descended in the direct male line from a tenth-century vassal of the Holy Roman Emperor, the Savoys ruled the Alpine state of Aosta, as well as Savoy, where they established themselves at Chambery. By the eighteenth century, the Savoys were kings of Sicily and then Sardinia, and it was under their aegis that the Italian states were united by 1871. Today, the House of Savoy remains one of the oldest royal dynasties, but also one of Europe's smallest, with only four dynasts ("men who would be king"). www.regalis.com /savoy.htm   (352 words)
