Home > House of Savoy


 

The House of Savoy was a dynasty of nobles who traditionally had their domain in Savoy (a small region between Piedmont, Italy, and France).


They became Kings of Sardinia and later of Italy.

Their Kingdom ended with the referendum by which Italians chose the republic as the form of state - see also birth of the Italian Republic. Under the Constitution of the Italian Republic, male descendants of the House of Savoy were forbidden from entering Italy. This provision was removed in 2002.

The house descended from Humbert I, Count of Sabaudia (or "Maurienne") ( Italian Umberto I "Biancamano"), ( 1003- 1047 or 1048Events The city of Oslo is founded by Harald Hardrade of Norway.

Piedmont was later joined with Sabaudia, and the name evolved into "Savoy" ( Italian "Savoia").
