'''Philip II''' (5 February 1438 – 7 November 1497), surnamed '''the Landless''', was the [[Duke of Savoy]] for a brief reign from 1496 to 1497.{{sfn|Vester|2013|p=ix}}

==Biography==

Philip was the granduncle of the previous duke [[Charles John Amadeus of Savoy|Charles II]], and the youngest surviving son of Duke [[Louis of Savoy]] and [[Anne of Cyprus]]. However, he was not the [[heir general]] of the previous duke, there being several females before him in the [[line of succession]]. To ensure male inheritance to the Savoy line, his eldest son Philibert was married to his cousin, the only sister of the deceased young Duke. However, the plan did not succeed: the girl died at age twelve. (Philip had already died in the meantime.) The children of the daughters of Philip's eldest brother Duke [[Amedeo IX of Savoy]] were next in line, and were entitled to the inheritance of the line of [[Heir-general|heirs-general]], including Cyprus and Jerusalem. Despite the fact that Cyprus and Jerusalem did not bar succession in female line, Philip took those claims and used those titles as well. His male successors in Savoy also continued to do so, thus giving their ducal title a higher, royal titulary.

He spent most of his life as a junior member of the ducal family. His original [[apanage]] was the district of [[Bresse]],{{sfn|Knecht|1982|p=1}} close to the French and Burgundian border, but it was lost and therefore Philip received his sobriquet "the Landless", or "Lackland".
