Philip was a prince and didn't want to recognize his uncle as suzerain. The times of beautiful ladies and knights without fear and reproach were not as we imagine them. Here is one of the real stories.
The nuns secretly passed down this story of the terrible death and miracle. Their books were burned many times, but they rewrote them because they remembered them by heart.
One day, a poor monk came to the monastery's abbess and told her of his miraculous salvation thanks to the portrait of a saint man from their family he had on his neck and how things had happened. He confessed that the abbess was his relative and hoped to find his daughter in this monastery.
This is the story I want to tell you today.

I have not found any portrait of Philip. This is his cousin, a few years younger than him. So we can imagine more or less what he was like.
A cadet branch of the Savoy family were lords of Piedmont. Since one of them (Philip's grandfather) had married the princess of Acaja from Greece, he and his sons became princes of Acaja.
