The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the study of the House of Amadeus VII of Savoy (1383–1391) through the rich accounts of the war treasury available for this period. Reflecting on both “ideas” and “weapons”, this study focuses on the importance of the administrative innovations proposed by Amadeus VII, particularly in the administrative management of war and recruiting of officers to staff the treasury. The principal merit of this study is to precisely calculate the costs and the number of personnel that the prince employed for his military policy, numbering on the scale of ten expeditions during a reign that lasted only eight years. We will then compare the numbers drawn from these accounts to those from the middle of the 15th century, a period during which war played an essential role, according to recent historiography, in the financial crisis of the duchy of Louis 1st of Savoy.
