Category:Princesses of Carignan
Princess consort of Carignan were women married to the Princes of Carignan during their reigns. The list ends with Charles Albert, in 1731, after he became King of Sardinia. But the Queens of Sardinia and later Italy used the title Princess of Carignan as part of their full title which included a lot of other titles.
The seigneury of Carignan had belonged to the Savoys since 1418, and the fact that it was part of Piedmont, only twenty km. south of Turin, meant that it could be a "princedom" for Thomas in name only, being endowed neither with independence nor revenues of substance. Instead of receiving a significant patrimony, Thomas was wed in 1625 to Marie de Bourbon, sister and co-heiress of Louis de Bourbon, comte de Soissons, who would be killed in 1641 while fomenting rebellion against Cardinal Richelieu.
