Family
Prince Thomas Francis and Marie had seven children who survived infancy (Italian names in parentheses):
- Princess Cristine Charlotte of Savoy (born and died in 1626)
- Princess Louise Christine of Savoy (1627–1689), married in 1654 to Ferdinand Maximilian of Baden-Baden (1625–1669)
- Prince Emmanuel Philibert Amadeus of Savoy (Emanuele Filiberto Amedeo) (1628–1709), 2nd prince de Carignan, lived in Italy, becoming governor of Ivrea in 1644, and of Asti in 1663. In 1684 he married in Racconigi, Princess Angela Catherina d'Este (1656–1722), granddaughter of Cesare I d'Este, Duke of Modena. Because he was deaf-mute, the marriage shocked his mother, infuriated his sister-in-law Olympia Mancini, injured the inheritance prospects of his French nephews and nieces, and so offended Louis XIV that Francis II, Duke of Modena felt obliged to banish from his realm the bride's kinsman, who had acted as the couple's intermediary.
- Prince Amedeo of Savoy (1629 – died young)
- Prince Joseph-Emmanuel (1631–1656), count of Soissons
- Prince Ferdinand of Savoy (1637)
- Prince Eugène Maurice of Savoy (1633–1673), count of Soissons and Dreux, married Olympia Mancini

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“I worry about people who get born nowadays, because they get born into such tiny families—sometimes into no family at all. When you’re the only pea in the pod, your parents are likely to get you confused with the Hope Diamond. And that encourages you to talk too much.”
—Russell Baker (b. 1925)
“O how terrible it must be for a young man—
seated before a family and the family thinking
We never saw him before! He wants our Mary Lou!
After tea and homemade cookies they ask What do you do for a living”
—Gregory Corso (b. 1930)
“We have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken. Maugre all the selfishness that chills like east winds the world, the whole human family is bathed with an element of love like a fine ether.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
