Cte Louis II DE SAVOIE Baron de Vaud

   Research Notes:

The testament of "Gioanna di Monfort Contessa di Forest Moglie di Ludovico de Savoia Signore di Vaud" dated Nov 1293 makes bequests to "…Pietro di Lei figlio…altri suoi Benidto Lodovico suo figlio"[1552]. The testamentary codicil of "Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud" dated 10 Jan 1301 appoints "Ludovico di Lui figlio primogenitor"[1553]. Her father's testamentary codicil dated 10 Jan 1301, made in Naples, names his sons Louis and Pierre, his daughters Blanche and Catherine, and the possibility of a child by his wife[1554]. He succeeded his father in 1302 as Baron de Vaud. Elected Senator of Rome 1 Aug 1310, he served until Jul 1312, during which time he defended Rome against the supporters of Robert King of Naples [Anjou-Capet][1555]. He renounced all claims to the county of Savoie in 1314 in return for an annual pension of 300 livres and the grant of certain fiefdoms[1556]. Comte Amédée V named him Lieutenant General in Canavese, Piemonte in 1322. He was appointed a member of the Supreme Council of the States of Savoy 1330. Aymon Comte de Savoie named him as one of the guardians of his minor son Comte Amédée VI under his will 11 Jun 1343[1557]. The testament of "Lodovico secundo di Savoia Signore di Vaud" dated 29 Mar 1340 chooses his burial "nell'Abazia, o sia nella Chiesa dell'Abazia d'Altacomba", names "Ludovico Signore di Vaud suo Padre", makes bequests "ad Isabella di Challon sua Consorte…Cattarina sua figlia…al conte Guidone di Fore zed a Raimundo suo fratello…ed a Gio. di Salabruschi, ed alle due Sorelle di Lui nipoti alter…a Ludovico di Nevfchâtel, ed alle due Sorelle…a Gioanna di Savoia Signora di Gex sua Sorella, nel caso, che sii in vita, altrimenti a suoi figliuoli…a Beatrice di Savoia Dama di Clermont, o a suoi figliuoli…a suoi Nipoti Ottone di Grançon, e Guglielmo suo fratello, ed alle Loro Sorelle" and appoints "stesso Conte Aymone, Isabella di Challon sua Consorte, li Vescovi di Losana, Geneva, Belley" as his executors[1558]. A testamentary codicil of "Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud" dated 18 Jan 1349 confirms bequests made to "Isabella di Challon sua Consorte" and refers to the dowry of "Cattarina sua figlia, Moglie del Principe Rodolfo Conte d'Eu e di Guines"[1559].
