Editing Victor Amadeus I, Duke of Savoy (section)

==Death==
On 25 September 1637, Victor Amadeus fell ill after a dinner offered by the [[Charles de Créquy de Lesdiguières|Duke of Créqui]]. A prominent Savoyard noble (Count Augusto Manfredo Scaglia di Verrua) who attended the dinner also died in the same week, arousing suspicions of poisoning and generating uncertainty in Savoyard-French relations.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Osborne |first=Toby |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/124025562 |title=Dynasty and diplomacy in the court of Savoy: political culture and the Thirty Years' War |date=2007 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-0-521-03791-4 |location=Cambridge |oclc=124025562}}</ref> The duke was carried to [[Vercelli]], where he died on 7 October, aged 50. {{citation needed|date=February 2015}} He was first succeeded by his elder son, [[Francis Hyacinth, Duke of Savoy|Francis Hyacinth]].
