She wis a dochter o Keeng Charles VII o Fraunce, "The Victorious," an Marie o Anjou. She mairit Amadeus IX, Duke o Savoy in 1452.

Her spouse became duke o Savoy in 1465, making her duchess. Her husband's retiring disposition and epilepsy left her in control of the state, to struggle with the Savoyard barons.

Regency

After the death of her spouse in March 1472, she became regent for her son Philibert until her own death. Like her brither Charles, she wis an ally tae Charles, Duke o Burgundy, against her own brither Louis XI o Fraunce.
