Expansion: The Early Dukes of Savoy (1415-1713) Amadeus VII’s death led to the accession of his eight-year old son, Amadeus VIII (1383-1451). The young prince’s position was perilous: because of its strategic situation, Savoy was inevitably drawn into the geopolitical struggles between the Emperor, the Pope and the French.
Amadeus succumbed to the plague while campaigning in Campobasso, in the Molise, assisting Duke Louis of Anjou in his attempt to recover the crown of Naples. He died on March 1, 1383 and was interred at his family's beloved Abbey of Hautecombe. Amadeus VII (1360-1391) was the Eighteenth Count of Savoy.
