private ceremony took place on 10 November 1684 at the Castle of Racconigi, the summer residence of the Princes of Carignano; the bride being 28 and the groom 56. This wedding was important to the House of Savoy, but very poorly viewed by the kingdom of France for its lack of political connection. Louis subsequently banished Emmanuel Philibert and his new spouse from the French court. Maria Angela's grandfather had accepted the offer of marriage as he and Emmanuel Philibert had had good relations. Her husband died in 1709 making Maria Angela Caterina the dowager princess of Carignano. Her only surviving son Victor Amadeus succeeded as Prince of Carignano. She died at the age of 66. Issue Maria Angela and her husband had four children. Their youngest child, Thomas Philippe, died young and unmarried: Princess Maria Isabella of Savoy (14 March 1687 – 2 May 1767) Princess Maria Vittoria of Savoy (12 February 1688 – 18 May 1763) Prince Victor Amadeus of Savoy, (1 March 1690 – 4 April 1741) Prince Thomas Philippe Geatano of Savoy (10 May 1692 – 12 Sep 1715) Ancestry References and notes External links 1656 births 1722 deaths 17th-century Italian nobility 18th-century Italian people 17th-century Italian women 18th-century Italian women Maria Angela Caterina Maria Angela Caterina Maria Angela Caterina Maria Angela Caterina
