Philippe de Savoie, 1st Duc de Nemours

Philippe de Savoie, duc de Nemours (1490 – November 25 1533), was a son of Philip II, Duke of Savoy, and brother of Louise of Savoy, mother of Francis I of France.

Originally destined for the priesthood, he was given the bishopric of Geneva at the age of five, but resigned it in 1510, when he was made count of Genevois. He served under Louis XII, with whom he was present at the battle of Agnadello (1509), under the emperor Charles V in 1520, and finally under his nephew, Francis I. In 1528 Francis gave him the duchy of Nemours and married him to Charlotte of Orleans-Longueville.
