Francis Hyacinth, Duke of Savoy

Francis Hyacinth ( _it. Francesco Giacinto di Savoia; September 14, 1632 – October 4, 1638) was the Duke of Savoy from 1637 to 1638 under regency of his mother Marie Christine. He was also Marquess of Saluzzo, count of Aosta, Moriana and Nice, and claimant King of Jerusalem. He was also known as the "Flower of Paradise" (French: "Fleur de Paradis").

When he succeeded his father, Francis was only 5 years old, so his mother held the government.

He died in the Castle of Valentino of Turin, and was succeeded by his brother Carlo Emanuele.
