Princess of Carignano
Encyclopedia
The Princess of Carignano
was a woman married to the Prince of Carignano of the House of Savoy
. The list ends with Charles Albert, in 1831, after he became King of Sardinia. But the Queens of Sardinia and later Italy used the title "Princess of Carignano" as part of their full title which included a lot of other titles.
The fief of Carignano had belonged to the Savoys since 1418, and the fact that it was part of Piedmont
, only twenty km. south of Turin, meant that it could be a "princedom" for Thomas in name only, being endowed neither with independence nor revenues of substance. Instead of receiving a significant patrimony
, Thomas was wed in 1625 to Marie de Bourbon
, sister and co-heiress of Louis de Bourbon, comte de Soissons
, who would be killed in 1641 while fomenting
rebellion against Cardinal Richelieu.
