Filippo of Savoy, prince of Acaia

Son of Tommaso III , lord of Piedmont and of Guya of Borgogna. In 1301 he got married to Isabella of Villehardouin, widow for the 2nd time and heir of the principality of Acaia. In Piedmont he practised a policy of expansion which caused him the opposition of the lords of Monferrato, Saluzzo and governors of Cuneo, but thanks to the good relationship with his uncle, prince Amedeo V of Savoia and with his cousin, earl Edoardo, he could resist the general offensive. He died in Pinerolo on the 25th September 1334.
