In 1485 his father Charles I had received the hereditary rights to the Kingdoms of Cyprus, Jerusalem, and Armenia which were inherited by young Charles.
During his reign, Charles VIII of France invaded Italy and conquered Naples. And the House of Savoy, under Blanche"s regency, allowed Charles free passage through the duchy. Born in Turin, Duke Charles died in Moncalieri at about seven, falling by his bed.
His duchy was therefore inherited by his granduncle Philip II (reigned 1496-1497), the male heir of the Savoy line.
The next year, Charlotte married Nicolas Guy de Montfort, Count of Laval (Guy XV). Their female descendants claimed the Kingdom of Jerusalem, although de jure their claims to the Kingdom of Cyprus, Jerusalem and Armenia (as well as the rights to the main line of House of Valois) belong to the line of the heir general, not to the line of Philip of Savoy.
