At the peace of Lunéville in 1801, the part of the landgraviate on the left bank of the Rhine was surrendered to France and, in 1815, other parts were ceded to Prussia, the landgrave Victor Amadeus being compensated by the abbey of Corvey and the Silesian duchy of Ratibor.
Over the past decades of Victor Amadeus's rule, the House of Savoy has prospered.
The late prince's brothers Thomas and Maurice had fears that they would be excluded from their rights to the succession, reinforced when, soon after the death of Victor Amadeus, Christine was forced by the French to write to the brothers insisting that they not return to Piedmont - though since Thomas was serving Spain at the time, the French demand was not entirely unreasonable.
On 4 June 1627 he became the abbot of the monastery at Abondance and in 1637, on the death of his elder brother Victor Amadeus I, he and his brother Thomas claimed the regency of the duchy against Victor Amadeus's widow Christine Marie of France, but the king supported Christine and confirmed her as regent.

Taking the style of King Victor Amadeus, he and Anna moved into the château de Chambéry outside the capital.
