This article is about the historical region of Savoy. For other uses, see Savoy (disambiguation)For the two French départements of the region of Savoy, see Savoie and Haute-Savoie'' Savoy (French: Savoie, pronounced ; Franco-Provençal: Savouè; Italian: Savoia, German: Savoyen) is a region of western Europe in France that emerged, along with the free communes of Switzerland, following the collapse of the Frankish Kingdom of Burgundy. Installed by Rudolph III, King of Burgundy, officially in 1003, the House of Savoy maintained independence as counts (see County of Savoy, ca 1000 to 1416) and then dukes (see Duchy of Savoy, 1416 to 1714), until Savoy was linked with the Kingdom of Sardinia, which included Piedmont in north-western Italy. Savoy was largely absorbed into France in 1860, as part of the political agreement with Napoleon III that brought about the unification of Italy.
