Jeanne
de Savoie
Vicomtesse de Limoges
(1310–44)
Biographical
Vicomtesse de Limoges 1330
After her father's death, Jeanne claimed the succession to Savoy, but
then ceded her rights to Count Aymon in 1329. After her marriage, she
renewed her claims, but renounced them in 1339 after an agreement was
reached. She received Limoges as part of her marriage contract. Before
her death, she bequeathed her claims to Savoy to Philippe de France, duc
d'Orléans, through her will, but King Philippe VI transferred them to
Count Amédée VI of Savoy, Jeanne's cousin, in return for the castles of
Milly and Bicêtre. Her marriage required papal dispensation.
Place of death, Château du Bois de Vincennes
Place of burial: Church of Cordeliers, Dijon
Daughter
of Edouard de Savoie and Blanche of Burgundy. She married Jean III de
Dreux in 1330.
