Would the best next step in editing this article be a translation of the much more detailed Italian article?--Wetman (talk) 06:43, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, translating the Italian article and then basing this article in the Italian one is the best course of action, as this would give the article much more information, detail, and references, which are what the current article is lacking. Translating the Italian article and using it to further the English one should directly bring up the English article to B-Class. --Laurinavicius (talk) 20:14, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strangely both this article about the Duchy- and the one about the earlier County of Savoy are only very short stubs about what I would consider to be relatively important states in medieval Europe. If someone could expand these articles, or as mentioned, translate the Italian articles it would be great. -GabaG (talk) 21:12, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The dates

I find all the dates really confusing in the articles pertaining to Sardinia-Piedmont Duchy of Savoy Lord of Piedmont They all seem to be one and the same thing. Varying slightly by dates. What is the difference between House of Savoy and Duchy of Savoy and Sardinia-Piedmont. thanks Alexandre8 (talk) 18:55, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article confuses the Duchy of Savoy with the States of the House of Savoy. Duchy of Savoy in 1645 (does not include Turin)

States of the House of Savoy in 1720 --Percht (talk) 22:08, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Last Duke of Savoy

Hello everyone, I would like to point out that the 'last ruler was the Duke of Savoy, was Vittorio Amedeo II, then with the cosatituzione the Kingdom of Sardinia, the title of Duke of Savoy was awarded as the aristocratic title to the first born male in the family ,, l 'last SAVOY that eager to take credit of the title of the Duke of Savoy was Vittorio Emanuele II, when he was still crown prince,,, then by his son Umberto I will use the title of Prince of Piedmont :)--87.5.4.123 (talk) 11:39, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Grand Duchy?

Peter Wilson's "Heart of Europe" contains several references to the Duke of Savoy being promoted to grand duke in 1696, and thus Savoy being raised to grand-ducal status. Examples include "The need to prevent Savoy defecting to France during the Nine Years War (1688–97) obliged Leopold I to confer the semi-regal status of grand duke in 1696" on p. 227, "Savoy had to be granted grand-ducal status in 1696" on p. 445, and "The Grand Duke of Savoy became a full king, initially in Sicily, and then Sardinia" on p. 749. Does anyone have other sources which elaborate more on this? Did they continue to use that title after 1713?--Nihlus1 (talk) 22:28, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
