History

The States of Savoy were constituted gradually, with periods of expansion, but also of fold, generally with the profit of the France.

The first capital of the States of Savoy was Montmélian, supplanted by Chambéry in 1295.

At the 13th century, the Maison of Savoy has ten Baillif S: the Savoy Propre, whose chief town is Montmélian (that Chambéry supplants in 1295); the Novalaise with Voiron; the Viennese, until 1355, with Saint-Georges-with Espéranche; the Bresse with Borough; the Bugey (of which the Valromey) with Rossillon; the Chablais with Chillon; the Valley of Aoste with Châtel-Money Villeneuve; the Valley of Suse with Avigliana; and the Country of Vaud with Moudon. After 1355, the territories of the House of Savoy increase Valbonne (chief town Montluel); Faucigny (with Châtillon/Cluses)

Under the reign of Amédée VIII (1391-1439), the growth of the States of Savoy is important with dice 1388, via the treaty of the Abbaye of Saint-Pons (known like the Dédition of Nice in Savoy ), obtaining Comté of Nice and its port, allowing an access to the Mediterranean. In 1402, the enclave of the Genevois (with Geneva, then Annecy) falls under its souverinté, following the death of the last count. Its armies control the valley of Ossola today (: Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola), in 1411, allowing the control of the Simplon (loss of the territory in 1417). It obtains, in 1413, the final prerogative of the marquisat of Saluces. In 1416, Amédée obtains the ducal title, and consequently occasion the direct prerogative of the Piedmont, of the emperor Sigismond. The States of Savoy hardly evolves/moves until the reign unhappy of Charles III of Savoy (1504-1553): Geneva, supported by the Berneses Protestants, is agitated (1519, 1526,1534), loss of the Chablais (1536) occupied by the catholic Valaisans, while the Berneses Protestants invade Were worth it and the Pays of Gex, at the same time François 1st, left guerroyer to Milan, occupies Borough-in-Bresse, Chambéry and the Savoy Propre, the valleys of Maurienne and Tarentaise, to secure its passage towards Italy, between 1536-1559. The States of Savoy do not exist any more. This first annexation has as a consequence, dice the re-establishment of the States of Savoy with Emmanuel-Philibert, the transfer of the capital of Chambéry towards Turin, in 1563.

16th century at the 18th century, the States of Savoy are with their apogee. In spite of the French occupation in 1690-1696, the House of Savoy controls the majority of the territories and the alpine collars connecting France to the Italian peninsula. The Traité of Turin (1696) allows obtaining Pignerol. In 1703, the duchy increases marquisat of Montferrat. In 1713, Victor-Amédée II of Savoy obtains, at the time of the treated of Utrech, the provinces of Alexandria (Lomelline, Valenza) and of Valsesia, just as part of the Briançonnais: " king Victor took all that was with the hanging water of Piedmont " (Valleys of High the Durance, of the Guil, High the Doire, Cluzon and High Varaïta with the fortified towns of Exile and of Fenestrelle). But this treaty is much more than one opportunity of enlarging, Victor-Amédée receives the royal title by obtaining Sicily. The Traité of London of 1718 allows the exchange of this crown with that of Sardinia with the House of Austria. Starting from this erection in kingdom, the States of Savoy are called Sardinian States .

However, thirty years later, the old Savoyard duchy is again occupied, this time by the Spanish troops of 1742 to 1748, because of the bringing together with Austria.

The sovereignty of the States of Savoy was put under supervision following the Traité of Turin, sign the March 24th 1860 between Napoleon III, emperor of the French and Victor-Emmanuel II, king de Sardaigne, of Cyprus and Jerusalem and finally duke of Savoy. This last yields to the France the county of Nice (increased Menton and of Roquebrune, dependences of the Principality of Monaco, car-proclaimed free cities in 1848 and repurchased by the French Empire with Charles III, Prince de Monaco 4 million gold franc in 1861) which becomes the department of the the Alpes-Maritimes and the Duché of Savoy which administratively forms the departments of the Savoy and the Haute-Savoie, while it incorporates his other possessions in the new kingdom of Italy.
