Philibert II, Duke of Savoy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (446 words)
In 1496, Philibert's father surprisingly succeeded as Duke, when his underaged great-grandnephew Duke Charles II of Savoy died, being the male heir of the line of Savoy.
She was daughter of Duke Charles I of Savoy, the Warrior, and Blanche of Montferrat, as well as granddaughter of Philibert's late uncle, Duke Amedeo IX of Savoy.
During Philibert's reign, his neighbor Charles VIII of France died, and the next king, Louis XII of France, invaded Italy, where he conquered most of the Kingdom of Naples.
