Abstract

In 1536, the Sabaudian lands were invaded by the Bernese and the French. René de Challant, as Marshal of Savoie, struggled to learn what was happening and how the Duke of Savoy wished him to respond. He eventually fell back to the Valle d’Aosta and oversaw its defensive efforts. Together with the Bishop of Aosta and an executive committee of the valley estates assembly (the Conseil des Commis), he preserved the valley’s devotion to the House of Savoy throughout the Franco-Swiss occupation of most of the Sabaudian lands. He continued to serve Charles III diplomatically over the course of the wars, while fighting with the Orléans-Longueville family over the sovereign status of Valangin.
