Amadeus V, Count of Savoy

Amadeus V, known as Amadeus the Great, was born on September fifth, twelve forty-nine, and became a significant figure in medieval politics as the Count of Savoy from twelve eighty-five until his passing on October sixteenth, thirteen twenty-three.

His tenure was marked by a remarkable expansion of the House of Savoy's influence, which extended across regions that are now part of modern-day France, Italy, and Switzerland. His strategic political maneuvers and alliances played a crucial role in consolidating power and territory for his dynasty.

In recognition of his dedicated service to the Holy Roman Empire, Amadeus was honored with the titles of Imperial Count and Imperial Vicar of Lombardy. Additionally, he held lordship over the important regions of Asti and Ivrea, further solidifying his status as a prominent medieval ruler.
