As a male line descendant of the Duke of Savoy, he was a Prince of Savoy by birth.[1] He was named after his cousin King Victor Amadeus III of Sardinia.[2] At his father's death he succeeded to the style of Prince of Carignano. Expecting to find military glory, his namesake created him Lieutenant General of the Sardinian Army.[3] His career was cut short by his death.[4]
