Victor Emmanuel I (July 24, 1759 January 10, 1824) was the Duke of Savoy, Piedmont, and Aosta, and King of Sardinia from 1802 to 1821.He was the second son of King Victor Amadeus III of Sardinia and Maria Antonietta of Spain (1729-1785), daughter of King Philip V and Elizabeth Farnese.Victor Emmanuel was known from birth as the Duke of Aosta.From 1792 to 1796, Aosta's father had taken an active part in the struggle of the old powers against the French Revolutionary forces, but were defeated and forced to make peace in 1796. The old king died shortly thereafter, and his eldest son and successor, Charles Emmanuel IV was faced in December 1798 with a French occupation and, eventually, annexation, of his mainland territories. Charles Emmanuel and his family were forced to withdraw to Sardinia, which was the only part of his domains not conquered by the French.
