The Savoy knot, a type of decorative knot, is a heraldic knot used primarily in Italian heraldry. It is most notable for its appearance on the heraldic badge of the House of Savoy, where it is accompanied by the motto Stringe ma non costringe, "It tightens, but does not constrain". The Cavendish knot is an identical heraldic knot. In shape, the Savoy knot is comparable to a figure eight.

Joséphine MACHET (born PFISTER) was born in 1810, she married Pierre MACHET in 1830, at the age of 20. Pierre was born in 1805. They had 4 children: Marie ROUMIEUX (née MACHET) and 3 other children.
