Francesco Of Saluzzo
Francesco Ludovico of Saluzzo (25 February 1498 – 28 March 1537) was Marquis of Saluzzo between 1529 and 1537. Francesco was the third son of Ludovico II of Saluzzo and Margaret of Foix-Candale. He became ruler of Saluzzo when Francis I of France deposed Francesco's elder brother Giovanni Ludovico, who had tried to ally Saluzzo with Emperor Charles V. Owing his title to the French King, Francesco couldn't prevent the Marquisate of Saluzzo becoming a satellite state of France. When John George, last Marquis of neighbouring Marquisate of Montferrat died, Francesco claimed the succession. But Montferrat was occupied by the Spanish under Emperor Charles V of Habsburg, who gave it to his ally Federico II Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua. Francesco died in 1537 without heirs, and the rule of Saluzzo passed on to his youngest brother Gabriel. {{DEFAULTSORT:Francesco Of Saluzzo 1498 births 1537 deaths Francesco Francesco Francesco, the Italian language, Italian (and original ...

Marquisate Of Montferrat
The March (also ''margraviate'' or ''marquisate'') of Montferrat was a frontier march of the Kingdom of Italy during the Middle Ages and a state of the Holy Roman Empire. The margraviate was raised to become the Duchy of Montferrat in 1574. Originally part of the March of Western Liguria (''Marca Liguriae Occidentalis'') established by King Berengar II about 950, the area of Montferrat was constituted as the ''marca Aleramica'' ("Aleramic march") for his son-in-law Aleramo. The earliest secure documentation of Aleramo and his immediate family is derived from the founding charter of the Abbey of Grazzano in 961, occasioned by the recent death of Aleramo's son Gugliemo. After King Otto I of Germany invaded Italy in 961 and displaced Berengar II, he continued, in a manner much like his predecessors to redefine the great fiefs of Italy. He continued the work that had been done to organize the northwest into three great marches. In the Eastern Liguria territory known as ''marca ...

Gian Gabriele I Of Saluzzo
Gian Gabriele I (1501–1548) was the last Marquis of Saluzzo, Italy. He ruled the marquisate from 1537 to his deposition in 1548. The marquisate of Saluzzo was annexed to France the following year. Life Gian Gabriele was born 26 September 1501 in Saluzzo and died 29 July 1548 in Pinerolo. Gabriele was the fourth and youngest son of Ludovico II of Saluzzo and Margaret of Foix-Candale. Because it was unlikely that he would rule Saluzzo, he embarked on a career in the church, becoming abbot of Staffarda Abbey. But when two of his brothers had died and with Giovanni Ludovico in exile, he was recalled to rule the marquisate of Saluzzo in 1537. This couldn't have been at a worse time. The marquisate had been a battleground during the Italian Wars and a succession war between the pro-Habsburg Giovanni Ludovico and the pro-French Francesco. This left the marquisate utterly ruined and completely dependent on the King of France. Gabriele couldn't turn the tide and he was deposed by ...

Carmagnola
Carmagnola (; ) is a ''comune'' (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Turin in the Italian region Piedmont, located south of Turin. The town is on the right side of the Po river.

Carmagnola borders the following municipalities: Poirino, Villastellone, Carignano, Lombriasco, Ceresole d'Alba, Racconigi, Sommariva del Bosco, Caramagna Piemonte. Toponymy The toponymy of the city of Carmagnola probably derives from the Latin "() ", in reference to a square, modestly-sized plot of land.

Marquisate Of Saluzzo
The Marquisate of Saluzzo () was a historical Italian state that included parts of the current region of Piedmont and of the French Alps.

The del Vasto family, who ruled Saluzzo throughout its period, also owned other territories in Italy after a series of arranged marriages, but these were never officially annexed to the marquisate. Del Vasto rule The House of Del Vasto became masters of the city when Ulric Manfred II of Turin chose to enfeoff Boniface del Vasto as marquis. His eldest son Manfred inherited it. From that moment the del Vasto became Marquis of the Piedmontese town and handed the title ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
