Charles-Emmanuel IV of Savoy (born the May 24th 1751 with Turin - died the October 6th 1819 with Rome) was king de Sardaigne, prince de Piémont and duke of Savoy of 1796 with 1802. It was wire of Victor Amédée III, king de Sardaigne, prince de Piémont and duke of Savoy, and Marie Antoinette of Spain.

In 1773, he became crown prince to the Royaume of Sardinia and had the title of prince de Piémont. It succeeded his father in 1796 to which France had just removed most of its States. It multiplied the protests of friendship for the French Republic. Associated with misfortunes of the family of the Bourbon S, to which it was allied (it had married a grand-daughter of Louis XV), Charles-Emmanuel IV made unfruitful efforts to compress in his kingdom the leavens of revolution. That did not prevent the general Joubert invading and from occupying its continental possessions, the Savoy and the Piedmont, on the order of the Directoire in 1798.

It was withdrawn in the island of Sardinia and, after the death of his wife, abdicated in 1802 in favor of his brother Victor-Emmanuel I {{er}}.

It was withdrawn, then, in a cloister in Rome, where it finishes its days in 1819, under the dress Jésuite.

It is buried in the Saint-Andrew church of Quirinal.
