The House of Maurienne was a noble family that ruled the region of Maurienne in the French Alps. It emerged in the early Middle Ages and played a significant role in the political landscape of the area. The family is known for its connections to the Counts of Savoy, as they were often intertwined through marriage and alliances. The house's influence grew over the centuries, particularly during the 11th and 12th centuries, when it became a key player in regional politics. The House of Maurienne eventually merged with the House of Savoy, contributing to the formation of a powerful dynasty that would later expand its influence across Europe.
