NEED TO ADD SOMETHING HERE. Since Bonifacio became Duke of Savoy at the age of nine, he required a regency. Throughout the decade before his death, Savoy was governed through a joint regency resembling that devised for his grandfather Tomasso I in 1189, in which authority was shared between his mother, Cécile of Baux, and one of his uncles, Tomasso II of Piedmont. Bonifacio's death without heirs created a major succession crisis in 1263

REFERENCE: Francesco Cognasso, I Savoia (Milan: Dall'Oglio, 1971), 136-39.
