Biography
Amadeus was born in Chambéry on 24 February 1360, the son of Count Amadeus VI of Savoy and Bonne of Bourbon.[1] Although he succeeded his father in 1383, he had to share power with his mother.[1] In 1384, in order to suppress a revolt against his relative Edward of Savoy, Bishop of Sion, Amadeus led an army that attacked and pillaged Sion.[1] In 1388, he acquired territories in eastern Provence and the port city of Nice, thus giving the County of Savoy access to the Mediterranean Sea.[1]
Amadeus died from tetanus[3] on 1 November 1391, as a result of a hunting accident.[1] Upon his death, controversy arose because of his will. Amadeus left the important role of guardian of his son and heir, Amadeus VIII, to his own mother, a sister of the powerful Duke de Bourbon, instead of following the tradition of appointing the child's mother, who was a daughter of the equally powerful Duke de Berry.Шаблон:Sfn Due to the dispute between his mother and his wife, rumours that Amadeus had been poisoned emerged soon after his death.[1] It took three months of negotiations to restore peace in the family.Шаблон:Sfn
