Charles I (28 March 1468 – 13 March 1490), called the Warrior, was the Duke of Savoy from 1482 to 1490 and titular king of Cyprus, Jerusalem, and Armenia from 1485 to 1490.
Life
Charles was son of Amadeus IX, Duke of Savoy, and Yolande of Valois, daughter of king Charles VII of France.[1]
Charles was 17 when Charlotte of Cyprus, titular Queen of Armenia and Jerusalem, surrendered her rights to Cyprus, Armenia, and Jerusalem to him.[2] He was the next legitimate heir in line from King Janus of Cyprus and Armenia. The kingdom itself was held by the Republic of Venice, but the Savoy dynasty continued to claim it.
Family
Charles married Blanche Palaiologina (Bianca di Monferrato) (1472–1519), daughter of William VIII, Marquess of Montferrat, and Elisabetta Sforza.[3] After Charles died from tuberculosis, Blanche was regent of the Duchy of Savoy from 1490 to 1496. They had:
- Yolande Louise of Savoy (1487–1499), married Philibert II of Savoy[4]
- Charles John Amadeus of Savoy (1489–1496)[4]
