Early years
The princess' father died in October 1637 when she was only two years old. So her older brother Franz HYACINTH became Duke of Savoy at the age of five. Her mother became regent of the Savoy Duke.

When Franz HYACINTH died in 1638, the two brothers began civil war in Piedmont with the support of Spain. Both sides of the conflict are referred to as "the prince's supporters" and "madamisti" (the Duchess' supporters). Franz HYACINTH was inherited to the throne by his younger brother Prince Carl Emmanuel II.

The first of Margarita Violeta's brothers and sisters to marry is her older sister Luisa Christina, who, in 1642, at the age of 13, became the wife of her uncle Morris Savoyski, thereby sealing the peace treaty between her mother and her uncles.
