# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Charles Emmanuel I became Duke of Savoy on 30 August 1580 at eighteen and held the throne until his death in 1630 — a reign of nearly half a century that made him the longest-serving Savoyard monarch of his time. Bold and ambitious, he led repeated military campaigns during the French wars of religion and the Thirty Years' War, annexing Saluzzo, Trino, and Alba while losing Pinerolo and transalpine lands in the chess match between France and Spain. He played European powers against each other with complex diplomatic maneuvers, leveraging Savoy's position to punch above its weight. A patron of the arts and a writer himself, his aggressive pushback against Spanish influence helped seed early Italian nationalist sentiment in the poetry and political discourse of the 17th century. His great-grandson Victor Amadeus II eventually surpassed his record for longevity on the throne.
