Yolande of Valois

Yolande of Valois, born on September twenty-third, fourteen thirty-four, was a prominent figure in the aristocratic circles of her time. As a member of the illustrious House of Valois, she was not only a princess but also played a significant role in the political landscape of her era.

Her marriage to Duke Amadeus IX of Savoy marked a pivotal moment in her life, elevating her status to that of Duchess of Savoy. This union was not merely a personal alliance but a strategic partnership that strengthened the ties between the Valois and Savoy families.

Yolande's influence extended beyond her marriage; she served as the regent of Savoy during the minority of her son, Philibert I. From fourteen seventy-two until her passing on August twenty-third, fourteen seventy-eight, she navigated the complexities of governance, ensuring stability and continuity in the duchy during a critical period.
