Oberto I, Marquis (Lombard noble, died 975)
|
Note: Marquis of eastern Liguria and count of Luni, powerful feudal lord of 10th-century Italy under King Berengar II and the Holy Roman emperor Otto I. His descendants, the Obertinghi, founded several famous Italian feudal clans. He was a Lombard and probably not directly descended from a family that arrived in Italy in the 9th century with Charlemagne and had traditionally ruled the region. After Otto’s conquest and coronation as Holy Roman emperor (962), he made Oberto count palatine, second only to himself in Italy. Four great families, the Este, Malaspina, Pallavicini, and Massa Parodi, are believed to have descended from Oberto’s sons. |
