Louise of Savoy was a 15th-century member of the French royal family who later became a Poor Clare nun. Born in 1461 to the Duke of Savoy and Yolande of Valois, she initially lived a life of high status, marrying Hugues de Chalon in 1479. Following her husband's death, she renounced her wealth and royal privileges to enter a monastery in Orbe. She is remembered for her deep piety, her commitment to charity, and her transition from a noblewoman to a life of monastic humility.
