Antonia of Savoy (died 1500), was Lady of Monaco by marriage to Jean II, Lord of Monaco. [1]

Antonia or Antoinette of Savoy was the illegitimate daughter of Philip II, Duke of Savoy and his mistress Libera Portoneri. [1] She was raised in the household of the queen of France, Charlotte of Savoy. [1] In 1487, she was arranged to marry the heir to the throne of Monaco in a peace agreement between Monaco and Savoy supported by France. [1] The marriage was of high importance to Savoy, and part of a process in which was completed in 1489, when Savoy acknowledged the independence of Savoy.

The couple had a daughter, Marie Grimaldi, who was in 1515 married to Geronimo della Rovere and was forced to renounce her rights to the throne upon her marriage. [1]
