See also:CHARLES See also:EMMANUEL I . [CARLO EMANUELEI (1562-1630), See also:duke of See also:Savoy, succeeded his See also:father, Emmanuel Philibert, in 1580. He continued the latter's policy of profiting by the rivalry of See also:France and See also:Spain in See also:- ORDER

order to See also:round off and extend his dominions. His three See also:chief See also:objects were the See also:conquest of See also:Geneva, of See also:Saluzzo and of Monferrato. Saluzzo he succeeded in wresting from France in 1588. He intervened in the See also:French religious See also:wars, and also fought with See also:Bern and other Swiss cantons, and on the See also:murder of See also:- HENRY

King Henry IV. In 1590 he sent an expedition to See also:Provence in the interests of the See also:Catholic See also:League, and followed it himself later, but the See also:peace of 1593, by which Henry of Navarre was recognized as king of France, put an end to his ambitions. In the See also:war between France and Spain Charles sided with the latter, with varying success. Finally, by the peace of See also:Lyons (1601), he gave up all territories beyond the See also:Rhone, but his See also:possession of Saluzzo was confirmed. He now meditated a further enterprise against Geneva; but his See also:attempt to See also:capture the See also:city by treachery and with the help of Spain (the famous escalade) in 1602 failed completely. The next few years were filled with negotiations and intrigues with Spain and France which did not See also:lead to any particular result, but on the See also:death in 1612 of Duke See also:Francesco Gor.zaga of See also:Mantua, who was See also:lord of 1VIonferrato, Charles Emmanuel made a successful coup de See also:main on that See also:district. Thisarrayed the Venetians, See also:Tuscany, the See also:Empire and Spain against him, and he was obliged to relinquish his conquest. The Spaniards invaded the duchy from See also:Lombardy, and although the duke was defeated several times he fought bravely, gained some successes, and the terms of the peace of 1618 See also:left him more or less in the status quo ante. We next find Charles Emmanuel aspiring to the imperial See also:crown in 16r9, but without success. In 1628 he was in See also:alliance with Spain in the war against France; the French invaded the duchy, which, being abandoned by Spain, was overrun by their armies. The duke fought desperately, but was taken See also:ill at See also:Savigliano and died in 1630. He was succeeded by his son See also:Victor Amedeo I., while his third son Tommaso founded the See also:line of Savoy-See also:Carignano from which the See also:present royal See also:house of See also:Italy is descended. Charles Emmanuel achieved a See also:great reputation as a statesman and See also:warrior, and increased the See also:prestige of Savoy, but he was•too shifty and ingenious, and his schemes ended in disaster.
