1338, Savoy organized a small crusade together with other small nations, and Thessalia was reconquered from the Rum-Seljuks. Bulgaria got Sofia back. While in 1395 other Italian states were hit by the Black Death, Savoy, like Florence, was an exception. Thus, the weight of Savoy (until then rather sitting at the fence of northern Italy) became greater. 1430-35, Savoy invaded the republic of Genoa, annexing it. The duke treated the conquered city relatively well, though; he wanted to use it to become a power in the Mediterranean, too.

  • 1338, Savoy organized a small crusade together with other small nations, and Thessalia was reconquered from the Rum-Seljuks. Bulgaria got Sofia back. While in 1395 other Italian states were hit by the Black Death, Savoy, like Florence, was an exception. Thus, the weight of Savoy (until then rather sitting at the fence of northern Italy) became greater. In 1407, Maffeo Servitore, a cunning Florentine diplomat, saw the weakness of the divided Northern Italy and devised a plan. Meeting with the rulers of Savoy and Venice, all of Northern Italy except Genoa was divided into spheres of influences, which said three states were allowed to conquer. Otherwise, the big three were supposed to live in peace. Until the 1430s, this was what happened: The little city states of Northern Italy (which were near collapse after the difficult 14th century) were "mopped up". As a result, many Italians left their country (especially from Pisa and Milan), going to France and Aragon, and some other states too, spreading Italian art. 1430-35, Savoy invaded the republic of Genoa, annexing it. The duke treated the conquered city relatively well, though; he wanted to use it to become a power in the Mediterranean, too.
