Baldo Da Passignano
Baldo da Passignano (, ; 1244 – 22 June 1332) was an Italian noble and poet from the Republic of Florence. He was expelled from Florence in 1268, because of his staunch Ghibelline position. He lived in exile in the Kingdom of Hungary for a decade in the 1290s, during the reign of Andrew III. As a member of the royal court, Baldo served as ''ispán'' (count) of Szepes County from 1291 to 1301 and, simultaneously, ''ispán'' of the royal chamber between 1291 and 1292. Early life His family originated from Passignano located near Tavarnelle Val di Pesa (present-day a ''frazione'' of Barberino Tavarnelle). In the early 13th century, they moved to Florence. Baldo was born around 1244, as the son of Iacopo. Alongside his father, he was a prominent Ghibelline in the city. As a result, the Passignanos were expelled from Florence in 1266 or 1268, following the Battle of Benevento and its aftermath. Baldo fled to Bologna and became a member of the ''Società dei Toschi'', a medieval ins ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Szepes County
Szepes (; , , ) was an administrative county of the Kingdom of Hungary, called Scepusium before the late 19th century. Its territory today lies in northeastern Slovakia, with a very small area in southeastern Poland. For the current region, see Spiš. Geography Szepes county shared borders with Poland and with the counties as follows: Liptó, Gömör-Kishont, Abaúj-Torna and Sáros. After the late 18th century dismemberment of Poland, the border was with the Austrian province of Galicia. Its area was 3,668 km2 in 1910. The county became part of Czechoslovakia, apart from a very small area now in Poland, after World War I, and is now part of Slovakia (and Poland). Capitals The original seat of government of Szepes county was Spiš Castle (), which was constructed in the 12th century. Unofficially from the 14th century, and officially from the 16th century, until 1920 the capital of the county was Lőcse (present-day Levoča). History This article only covers the hi ...

Marco Da Saliceto
Marco da Saliceto ( 1245 – after 1297) was an Italian notary and administrator from Bologna, who served as a tutor of the future monarch Andrew III of Hungary. Some scholars identified him with Marco Lombardo, a character in Dante's ''Purgatorio''. Early life Marco da Saliceto was born around 1245 in Bologna, as the son of Simone di Taccone da Saliceto. Italian historian Francesco Filippini considered that Simone is identical to that Simone di Domenico di Taccone, who was registered among the notaries public of Bologna in 1259. It is uncertain whether Marco originated from the same Saliceto family, members of the local ancient Guelph nobility, which produced famous legal experts, for instance, Bartolomeo da Saliceto. It is plausible that Marco came from a lower social status and his family moved to Bologna from Saliceto only in the 13th century. Marco had two sons from his unidentified wife, Mattiolo and Giovanni. Marco had a brother Matteo, father of two sons, Cristoforo and Al ...

Thirtieth (tax)
The thirtieth or thirtieth customs (, , ) was a tax on foreign trade in the Kingdom of Hungary.

According to the charter, wine and foodstuffs delivered for the monks and their guests were exempt from all tolls and the thirtieth at Győr and on the bridges of the rivers Rába The Rába (; ; ) is a river in southeastern Austria and western Hungary and a right tributary of the Danube. Geography Its source is in Austria, some kilometres east of Bruck an der Mur below Heubodenhöhe Hill. It flows through the Austrian ... and Rábca. Royal revenue from the thirtieth amounted at 1,500 marks when Andrew II granted it to his daughter, Yolanda in 1235. According to a scholarly theory, the granting of customs and tolls to ecclesiastic institutions from the late 12th century gave rise to the collection of the thirtieth, because it repres ...

Epithet
An epithet (, ), also a byname, is a descriptive term (word or phrase) commonly accompanying or occurring in place of the name of a real or fictitious person, place, or thing. It is usually literally descriptive, as in Alfred the Great, Suleiman the Magnificent, Richard the Lionheart, and Ladislaus the Short, or allusive, as in Edward the Confessor, William the Conqueror, Æthelred the Unready, John Lackland, Mehmed the Conqueror and Bloody Mary. The word ''epithet'' also may refer to an abusive, defamatory, or derogatory word or phrase. This use is criticized by Martin Manser and other proponents of linguistic prescription. H. W. Fowler noted in 1926 that "''epithet'' is suffering a vulgarization that is giving it an abusive imputation." Linguistics Epithets are sometimes attached to a person's name or appear in place of their name, as what might be described as a glorified nickname or sobriquet, and for this reason some linguists have argued that they should be c ...

Chiaro Davanzati
Chiaro Davanzati (died 1304) was an Italian poet from Florence, one of the Siculo-Tuscan poets, who introduced the style of Sicilian School to the Tuscan School. He was one of the most prolific Italian authors before Dante: at least 122 sonnets and sixty-one '' canzoni'' by Chiaro are known, many of them in '' tenzone'' with other poets. Only Guittone d'Arezzo produced more lyrics in the thirteenth century. Life The Davanzati were an elite family in Florence. Chiaro participated in the Battle of Montaperti in 1260.

Davanzati pp. scte Marie Sopr'Arno'', of Santa Maria sopr'Arno, was dead by 1280. Another, ''Clarus F. Davanzati Banbakai'', was a Guelph of San Frediano.

Guido Guinizelli
Guido Guinizelli (1276) was an Italian love poet and is considered the "father" of the Dolce Stil Novo. He was the first to write in this new style of poetry writing, and thus is held to be the '' ipso facto'' founder. He was born in, and later exiled from, Bologna, Italy. It is speculated that he died in Verona, Italy. Life His precise identity is uncertain, but he may have been Guido di Guinizello di Magnano, exiled from Bologna with the Lambertazzi Ghibellines in 1274 and dying in Monselice about two years later. He corresponded with Guittone d'Arezzo, whom he respectfully addressed as ‘caro padre meo’ and by whom he was called in return ‘figlio dilettoso’. Assuming the sonnet in question is indeed addressed to him, he was later accused by Guittone of the ‘laido errore’ of wishing to praise his lady using ideas and terms from natural philosophy. Bonagiunta Orbicciani also charged him with making love poetry obscure through his philosophical importations. But ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
