Note 135 — ACTO I
Reading edition
139. Saboya: Emmanuel Philibert of Savoy married Marguerite of Valois, a sister of Henry II of France. The son of this marriage, Charles Emmanuel I, married the infanta Catalina, daughter of Philip II of Spain. The ambitions of Charles Emmanuel to extend his dominions westward were severely punished by Henry IV in the treaty of Lyons (1601). Savoy mingled in most of the wars of the early part of the century. Charles Emmanuel's shifting politics were always guided by his desires of aggrandizement.
