Charles Emmanuel, Duke of Nemours
Charles Emmanuel de Savoie, 3rd Duc de Nemours (12 February 156713 August 1595) was the son of Jacques of Savoy and Anne of Este, the widow of Francis, Duke of Guise.
As a child he was known as the prince of Genevois.
He was the Duke of Nemours from 1585 to his death in 1595, during the French Wars of Religion.
Charles Emmanuel was duke at a volatile time, and subsequently was involved in many political intrigues, mostly by his relationship on his mother's side with the House of Guise.
The Duke of Guise was one of the leaders of the Catholic League opposing the Huguenots, and Charles Emmanuel sympathised with their cause.
However, after the assassination of Henry I, Duke of Guise and his brother the Cardinal of Guise, Charles Emmanuel was imprisoned by the Huguenots in 1588, but was able to escape.
He was to fight the Huguenot forces for some years; he fought at the Battle of Arques in 1589.
That same year, Charles Emmanuel was the governor of Paris, as the Huguenot forces, led by Henry of Navarre besieged Paris.
During the siege, King Henry III of France perished, and Henry of Navarre soon declared himself King Henry IV of France.
Charles Emmanuel escaped, and fought the newly proclaimed King at the Ivry in 1590, which was a decisive loss for the Catholic League.
The same year he commanded Catholic forces during the Siege of Paris, successfully defending the city.
After the defeat, Charles Emmanuel strongly disagreed with his half-brother and long-time ally Charles of Lorraine, Duke of Mayenne (also of the House of Guise), who advocated conciliation with Henry IV.
Charles Emmanuel withdrew to his government in Lyonnais, where he endeavoured to make himself independent from the French crown.
He was imprisoned, however, in the chateau of Pierre-Encise by the archbishop of Lyon.
Again, he successfully escaped, and decided to attack Lyon.
The intervention of the Constable de Montmorency thwarted his attack however, and his attempt at independence failed.
He died at Annecy in 1595, leaving the Duchy of Nemour to his brother Henri de Savoie.
Henri I, Duke of Nemours
Henri of Savoy( 2 November 157210 July 1632), called originally Marquis de Saint- Sorlin, was the son of Jacques of Savoy and Anna d' Este, the widow of François de Lorraine, Duke of Guise.
He succeeded his brother Charles Emmanuel as Duke of Nemours.
In 1588 he took the marquisate of Saluzzo from the French for his cousin, the Duke of Savoy.
The princes of Guise, his half- brothers, induced him to join the League, and in 1591 he was made governor of Dauphiné in the name of that faction.
He made his submission to Henry IV in 1596.
After quarrelling with the duke of Savoy he withdrew to Burgundy and joined the Spaniards in their war against Savoy.
After peace had been proclaimed on November 14, 1616, he retired to the French court.
After his death, he was succeeded by his eldest son, Louis; on the death of Louis in 1641 by his second son Charles Amadeus; and on Charles's death in 1651 by his third son Henri.
All three were the sons of his wife Anne de Lorraine( 1600 – 1638), daughter of Charles de Lorraine, Duke of Aumale.

Jacques of Savoy, 2nd duke of Nemours (12 October 153115 June 1585) was the son of Philippe, Duke of Nemours, and became Duke of Nemours on his father's death in 1533.
He distinguished himself at the sieges of Lens and Metz (1552–1553), at the Battle of Renty (1554) and in the campaign of Piedmont (1555).
He was a supporter of the house of Guise, and had to retire for some time into Savoy in consequence of a plot.
On his return to France he fought the Huguenots, and signalized himself by his successes in Dauphiné and Lyonnais.
In 1567 he induced the court to return from Meaux to Paris, took part in the battle of Saint Denis, protested against the peace of Longjumeau, and repulsed the invasion of Wolfgang, Count Palatine of Zweibrücken.
He devoted his last years to letters and art, and died at Annecy.
He married, on 29 April 1566, Anna d'Este, daughter of Duke Ercole II of Ferrara and Renée of France, and widow of Francis, Duke of Guise.
He was succeeded as Duke of Nemours by his sons, Charles Emmanuel de Savoie, 3rd Duc de Nemours and Henri I, Duke of Nemour.
