Jacques de SAVOYE (Savoije) gebore 1636, Aeth, Hainaut (Vlaandere). Hy trou 4 Julie 1657 met Christine du PONT, sy was van Ath. Hy trou die tweede maal in 1686 met Marie Madeleine de KLERK (le CLERCQ) sy was van Doornik. Jacques sterwe Oktober 1717. Hy word ook beskryf as 'n oortuigde Calvinis, wat baie vir sy geloof gely het. Blykbaar het sy ywer vir die Protestantse geloof tot gevolg gehad dat hy deur die Jesuïete vervolg is, en daar is selfs sprake van 'n moordkomplot teen hom. Trek van Gent na Sas van Gent in 1686.

Daarna trek hulle na Middelburg. Vertrek op 29 Jan 1688 met die Oosterlandt na die Kaap. Saam met Jacques was sy tweede vrou Marie Madeleine de KLERK (le CLERQ), twee van sy dogters uit sy eerste huwelik, Margaretha 17 jaar en Barbe-Therese 15 jaar, baba Jacques 9 maande en skoonma Antonette Carnoy. Hy bring ook die 3 Nourtier-broers saam as sy knegte. Hulle arriveer op 25 April 1688.

In die Kaap kry hy die plaas Vrede-en-Lust in Drakenstein. Hy was 'n slawe-eienaar, heemraad en selfs Kaptein van die Drakenstein-militia. Ouderling in die kerk.

Jacques se geldsake wou steeds nie vlot verloop nie. Hy was in die skuld by die V.O.C. en ander, o.a. dominee Pierre Simond en was bekend daarvoor dat hy "traag was om rekeninge flink te vereffen". Desnieteenstaande beskryf ds. François Simond van die Gereformeerde Kerk in Flaandere hom as 'n eerlike man met baie ywer vir sy geloof, en verklaar "sy lewe is 'n waardige voorbeeld van reinheid en heiligheid in soverre dit moontlik was in die plek waar hy hom bevind het, waar afgodery hoogty gevier het." Ook goewerneur Van der Stel skryf in 'n brief aan die Kamer van Delft oor hom: "Jacques de Savoye en sy gesin is 'n voorbeeld van ywer vir al die vlugtelinge en uitgewekenes, en dat hy as Heemraad aangewys is n.a.v. sy vaardighede."

Interesant genoeg was hy later aktief in die Vryburgers se stryd teen goewerneur W.A. van der Stel, en is vir 'n tydperk in die Kasteel toegesluit. Hy word beskryf as 'n opvlieënde man, wat maklik aanstoot geneem het. Hy verhuis met sy vrou en haar ma terug na Nederland in 1712 as afslagtarief-dekpassassiers op die Samson.

Hy laat in die Kaap 3 getroude dogters en een seun, waarskynlik Philippe Rudolph, agter. Lg. het sonder erfgenaam gesterf. Dit is bekend dat Jacques by die Walloonse kerk in Amsterdam aangesluit het in 1714. Tog keer hy weer terug na die Kaap in 1716. Daar sterf hy op die rype ouderdom van 81 en is begrawe in Oktober 1717. Christine du Pont sterf 1686. Sy het 5 kinders gehad.

"DE SAVOYE; Jacques, of Ath; Marie Madeleine LE CLERC, his wife, of Tournay; and their three children:--Margot (or Marguerite), 17 years old, Barbere, 15 years, and Jacques, 9 months old, together with Antoinette CARNOY, DE SAVOYE’S mother-in-law, sailed in the Oosterland from Middelburg on 29th Jan. 1688. In a despatch from the Chamber of Rotterdam dated 24th Dec. 1687, special mention is made of Jacques DE SAVOYE in the following terms:--

‘By this opportunity there will proceed to the Cape to settle there as a Colonist one Jacques SAVOYE and his wife. He has been ‘under the cross’ (persecuted), and for many years an eminent merchant at Ghent in Flanders; where he has been persecuted by the Jesuits to such an extent, and where even his life was being threatened, that in order to escape from their snares, and peacefully end his days beyond their reach, he has resolved to cross the ocean as a Colonist and to take with him various Flemish farmers of the reformed religion, who have also suffered persecution, and for the same reason as that of SAVOYE leave their Fatherland. And because we know SAVOYE as we have described him, we most willingly recommend him to your notice and request you to lend him a helping hand, and consider him in the light in which we have introduced him, hoping that for the furtherance of the intentions of the Lords Seventeen he will be an able and desirable instrument.’ (Rambles through the Archives of the Cape of Good Hope, by H. C. V. Leibbrandt, 1887.)

Jacques DE SAVOYE ‘with wife and two children’ were among those who did not need any assistance from the Relief Fund 1690; and ‘with wife and three children’ among the Draenstein inhabitants 1692. he left no sons. His daughter Marguerite married before 1690, (1) Christoffel SNYMAN (descendants still living) and (2) Henning VILLION, son of Francois VILLION (or FIGNON) of Clermont. Barbere married (1) Christiaan ELERS (no descendants), and (2) Elias KIENA (no descendants). Aletta DE SAVOYE married Pieter MEYER, presumably Pierre MEYER the refugee."

Jaques De Savoye

Jaques De Savoye was born in Ath, Belgium around 1636 and died in the Cape in October, 1717. He was a merchant and Cape free burgher and was the son of Jacques de Savoye and his wife, Jeanne van der Zee (Delamere, Desuslamer).

Jacques was a wealthy merchant in Ghent, Belgium, but his devotion to the Protestant religion led to his persecution by the Jesuits, and there was even an attempt to murder him. In 1687 he moved to the Netherlands and left for the Cape in the Oosterland on 29th January 1688. In addition to his wife, mother-in-law and three of his children, he was accompanied by the brothers Jean, Jacob and Daniel Nortier.

De Savoye soon became a leader among the French community at the Cape: he was one of the deputation which, on 28th November 1689, asked the Governor and Council of Policy for a separate congregation for the French refugees, and the following year he helped to administer the funds donated to the French refugees by the charity board of the church of Batavia. At various times he also served on the college of landdros and heemraden .

To begin with, Jacques farmed at Vrede-en-Lust at Simondium and in 1699 was also given Leeuwenvallei in the Wagenmakersvallei ( Wellington ), but settled at the Cape soon afterwards. He apparently experienced financial difficulties since in 1701 he owed the Cape church council 816 guilders and various people sued him for outstanding debts. In 1712 he described himself as being without means.

In March 1712 he left for the Netherlands in the Samson, accompanied by his wife and mother-in-law. He enrolled as a member of the Walloon congregation in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on 16th December 1714, but only four months later, on 20th April 1715, it was reported that he had returned to the Cape. There is, however no documentary proof of his presence neither at the Cape neither after 1715, nor in C.G. Botha's assertion that he died in October 1717.

De Savoye often clashed with other people. During the struggle of the free burghers against Wilhem Adriaen van der Stel, he was strongly opposed to the Governor and was imprisoned in the Castle for a time. He was also involved in a long-drawn-out dispute with the Rev. Pierre Simond, and he and Hercules des Pré went to court on several occasions to settle their differences.

He was married twice: first to Christiana du Pont and then to Marie Madeleine le Clercq of Tournai, Belgium, daughter of Philippe le Clercq and his wife, Antoinette Carnoy. Five children were born of the first marriage and three of the second. Three married daughters and a son remained behind at the Cape, as well as a son who was a junior merchant in the service of the V.O.C. and who died without leaving an heir.

Concerning the de Savoye family, it can be noted that while the connection between Jacques de Savoye and his daughter, Marguerite (Margarethe or Margo), and the Dukes of Savoy has not been traced, Jacques was originally a subject of the King of France, and as such would only have used a surname incorporating the aristocratic prefix de if he actually belonged to an aristocratic family.

It can safely be inferred that he was in fact descended from the family of the dukes.

What is known about Jacques is that he lived a the French town called Aeth, and that in 1687 he was living in Ghent, in Flanders. He was a Huguenot merchant known for his zealous defence of his beliefs and for inviting itinerant Protestant pastors to conduct services in his house. For this he earned the hostility of his Catholic neighbours and was pursued by the Jesuits. (The Edict of Nantes was repealed in 1685, and it is likely that he fled France at this time.) At least one attempt was made on his life.

His first wife, Christine du Pont, bore him nine children, of whom six survived to adulthood. Following her death in 1686, Jacques went to live in Sas van Ghent, just across the Dutch border in Zeeland.

While in Sas van Ghent in 1686-87 he married Marie-Madeleine le Clerq from Tournai, in Hainault. They moved from Sas van Gent to Middelburg, where he immediately made plans to join a party of settlers heading for the Cape of Good Hope.

The House of Savoy can be traced back to Humbert I the Whitehanded, probably of Burgundian origin, who in the mid-11th century AD was effectively lord of the area incorporated into France in 1860 as the départements of Savoie and Haute-Savoie, as well as other districts along the Rhône south of Lake Geneva.

This feudal lordship became a county, and afterwards (as the authority of the Holy Roman Emperor diminished) was elevated to a duchy.

The Encyclopædia Britannica notes: “Among the most notable counts of Savoy were Amadeus VII (ruled 1383-91), under whom the port of Nice was acquired, and Amadeus VII (ruled 1391-40), under whom Piedmont (capital Turin), on the Italian side of the Alps, was definitely incorporated (after having belonged for nearly two centuries to a branch of the house) and to whom the title of duke was granted in 1416.”

The Kings of France coveted the district because it controlled strategic routes into Italy, but although it was captured several times by French forces, the ducal house managed to recover it each time.

For a time the family claimed royal status through inheriting the title King of Cyprus (a Crusader title which became practically ineffective when Turkey seized the island).

Victor Amadeus II (ruled 1675-1730) attained actual royal status as ruler of Sicily, which he exchanged in 1720 for Sardinia.

King Victor Emmanuel I (ruled 1802-21) added the province of Liguria, including the port city of Genoa, to the family’s holdings in 1815, and so held a solid bloc of territory from the Ligurian Sea to Switzerland (in addition to Sardinia). This was the platform from which the dynasty launched its ambition to unite Italy under a Savoyard crown, which eventually succeeded in 1861.

The arms of the Dukes of Savoy were a silver (or white) cross on red. When the family ruled Italy, the royal arms showed the cross within a blue border – these arms appeared on the white panel of the green-white-red flag of Italy from 1848 to 1946.
