Madeleine was the daughter of René of Savoy and Anne Lascaris.[1] She married constable Anne de Montmorency, a leading soldier and politician, in 1526.[2] After she was widowed in 1567, Madeleine served as Première dame d'honneur to the queen of France, Elisabeth of Austria, from 1570 until 1574.

Madeleine of Savoy was described as an austere and strict Catholic with a deep dislike of the Huguenots, but not personally involved in politics, though she was a gathering force for her politically active relations and siblings.
