Their descendants would later comprise the House of Savoy who ruled Sardinia and Italy.
The March or Marquisate of Turin was a territory of medieval Italy from the mid-10th century, when it was established as the Arduinic March.

The confines of the march thus stretched across the Po Valley from the Western Alps in the north, to the Ligurian Sea.
