Family
Prince Thomas Francis and Marie had seven children who survived infancy (Italian names in parentheses):
- Princess Cristine Charlotte of Savoy (born and died in 1626)
- Princess Louise Christine of Savoy (1627–1689), married in 1654 to Ferdinand Maximilian of Baden-Baden (1625–1669)
- Prince Emmanuel Philibert Amadeus of Savoy (Emanuele Filiberto Amedeo) (1628–1709), 2nd prince de Carignan, lived in Italy, becoming governor of Ivrea in 1644, and of Asti in 1663. In 1684 he married in Racconigi, Princess Angela Catherina d'Este (1656–1722), granddaughter of Cesare I d'Este, Duke of Modena. Because he was deaf-mute, the marriage shocked his mother, infuriated his sister-in-law Olympia Mancini, injured the inheritance prospects of his French nephews and nieces, and so offended Louis XIV that Francis II, Duke of Modena felt obliged to banish from his realm the bride's kinsman, who had acted as the couple's intermediary.
- Prince Amedeo of Savoy (1629 – died young)
- Prince Joseph-Emmanuel (1631–1656), count of Soissons
- Prince Ferdinand of Savoy (1637)
- Prince Eugène Maurice of Savoy (1633–1673), count of Soissons and Dreux, married Olympia Mancini
