Savoy is a region in the Western Alps, situated on the cultural boundary between Occitania and Piedmont, with a complex history and territorial evolution. The area has been ruled by the House of Savoy and has been part of various kingdoms and empires, including the Kingdom of Burgundy and the Duchy of Savoy.
