Philip, Duke of Nemours
Philip of Savoy, Duke of Nemours( 149025 November 1533) was a French nobleman.
He was a son of Philip II, Duke of Savoy, and his second wife Claudine de Brosse.
He was a half- brother of Louise of Savoy, the mother of Francis I of France.
He was the founder of the Nemours branch of the house of Savoy which eventually settled in France.
Originally destined for the priesthood, he was given the bishopric of Geneva at the age of five, but resigned it in 1510, when he was made count of Genevois.
He served under Louis XII, with whom he was present at the battle of Agnadello( 1509), under the emperor Charles V in 1520, and finally under his nephew, Francis I.
In 1528 Francis gave him the duchy of Nemours and married him to Charlotte of Orleans, a daughter of Louis d' Orléans, Duke of Longueville.
They had two children:
Boffille de Juge
Boffille de Juge( died 1502), French- Italian adventurer and statesman, belonged to the family of del Giudice, which came from Amalfi, and followed the fortunes of the Angevin dynasty.
When John of Anjou, duke of Calabria, was conquered in Italy( 1461) and fled to Provence, Boffille followed him.
He was given by Duke John and his father, King René, the charge of upholding by force of arms their claims on Catalonia.
Louis XI, who had joined his troops to those of the princes of Anjou, attached Boffille to his own person, made him his chamberlain and conferred on him the vice- royalty of Roussillon and Cerdanya( 1471), together with certain important lordships, among others the county of Castres, confiscated from James of Armagnac, duke of Nemours( 1476), and the temporalities of the bishopric of Castres, confiscated from John of Armagnac.
He also entrusted him with diplomatic negotiations with Flanders and England.
In 1480 Boffille married Marie d' Albret, sister of Alain I of Albret" le Grand", thus confirming the feudal position which the king had given him in the south.
He was appointed as one of the judges in the trial of René of Alençon, and showed such zeal in the discharge of his functions that Louis XI rewarded him by fresh gifts.
However, the bishop of Castres recovered his diocese( 1483), and the heirs of the duke of Nemours took legal proceedings for the recovery of the county of Castres.
Boffille, with the object of escaping from his enemies, applied for the command of the armies of the republic of Venice.
His application was refused, and he further lost the viceroyalty of Roussillon( 1491).
His daughter Louise married against his will a gentleman of no rank, and this led to terrible family dissensions.
In order to disinherit his own family, Boffille de Juge gave up the county of Castres to his brother- in- law, Alain d'Albret( 1494).
He died in 1502.
Jean d'Armagnac, Duke of Nemours
Jean d'Armagnac, Duke of Nemours (1467–1500) was the son of Jacques d'Armagnac, Duke of Nemours and Louise of Anjou.
His father's possessions were confiscated on his execution in 1477, but Jean was restored to Nemours and the family's other lands in 1484.
He led a dissipated life, and his siblings sued him to prevent him from alienating the family lands to pay his debts.
In 1489, he traded the viscounties of Carlat and Murat to Peter II, Duke of Bourbon for the county of l'Isle-Jourdain.
He married Yolande de La Haye (d. 1517) in 1492, but had no children.
He was succeeded by his brother Louis, Count of Guise.
Louis I, Duke of Nemours
Louis of Savoy( 1615 – 16 September 1641) was Count of Geneva, Duke of Nemours, and Duke of Aumale from the death of his father Henry of Savoy in 1632 until his own death in 1641.
Louis never married.
On his death, his titles passed to his brother Charles Amadeus.

While styled Count of Castres, he served under Charles VII of France in Normandy in 1449 and 1450, and afterwards in Guienne.
Louis XI awarded him with honours.
In 1462, Jacques succeeded his father, and Louis XI married him to his god-daughter, Louise of Anjou, daughter of Charles of Le Maine.
Louis XI also recognized his title to the duchy of Nemours, which he had disputed with the King of Navarre.
Sent by Louis to pacify Roussillon, Nemours felt that he had been insufficiently rewarded for the rapid success of this expedition, and joined the League of the Public Weal in 1465.
Subsequently, he reconciled with Louis, but soon resumed his intrigues.
After twice pardoning him, the king's patience became exhausted, and he besieged the duke's chateau at Carlat and imprisoned him.
Nemours was treated with the utmost rigour, being shut up in a cage.
He was finally condemned to death and beheaded, 4 Aug 1477.
He and Louise had six children:
