House of Savoy

The name "House of Savoy" derives from the historical region Savoy in then France that emerged, along with the free communes of Switzerland, in what is now called Switzerland. Over time the house grew from that region to rule almost all of the Italian Peninsula. Yet their growth and survival over the centuries was not based on spectacular conquests, but on gradual territorial expansion through marriage and methodical and highly manipulative political acquisitions.
