Savoy signed a separate peace with France and left the Grand Alliance, an anti-French coalition formed on 20 December 1689 by England, the Dutch Republic and Emperor Leopold.

In early 1690, the Allies began recruiting support for the Camisards among Huguenot exiles and the "Vaudois", Protestants living what is now Swiss Canton of Vaud and persecuted by both Savoy and France.

[3] In October 1693, Savoy suffered a second defeat at Marsaglia, which had little strategic impact but showed decisive victory over France remained elusive after three years of war.

Victor Amadeus's longstime French-born mistress, Jeanne Baptiste d'Albert de Luynes, helped broker the marriage of his eldest daughter, Marie Adélaïde of Savoy, to Louis's grandson, the Duke of Burgundy.

[7] That increased Savoy's status within Europe, and a series of deaths in the French Royal Family meant that Marie Adélaïde's younger son would succeed his great-grandfather in 1715 as Louis XV.

[8] Terms were finally agreed by the end of June, but the treaty was signed only on 29 August to allow Bavaria, Brandenburg-Prussia and Spain to withdraw their contingents from the forces outside Pinerolo.

Victor Amadeus achieved his primary goals of recovering Pinerolo and Casale, and his daughter's marriage enhanced Savoy's position on the European stage.

[8] Cynical opportunism was not limited to Victor Amadeus; his allies found Leopold and his successors equally frustrating, and Britain's effective withdrawal from the War of the Spanish Succession in 1712 was similarly damaging.
