Chapter 8. OTHER NORTHERN ITALIAN NOBLES, Unallocated
This document sets out the nobility in northern Italy from the 12th century. Earlier nobility is shown in the companion documents NORTHERN ITALY (1), and nobility from the 14th century in the document NORTHERN ITALY (3). The cut-off date between the three documents is inevitably approximate. The composition of northern Italy changed significantly during the course of the 12th century. The Savoy family had established themselves in Piemonte and Aosta, the marchesi di Monferrato and their connections in Liguria, while much of the southern part of the region was consolidated under the rule of Matilda Ctss of Tuscany. The island of Sardinia developed separately and was divided into four areas each ruled by a different family of hereditary judges.
After the death of Matilda Ctss of Tuscany in 1115, suzerainty over her lands was disputed by the church and the German emperors. The territories fragmented and new local rulers emerged in many of the counties which she had controlled. Imperial authority in northern Italy had weakened by the mid-12th century, enabling the northern Lombard cities to increase their local autonomy, which was formalised in the Treaty of Konstanz agreed in 1183 by Emperor Friedrich I "Barbarossa". A single local dynasty was never able to establish control over all of northern Italy, as each city developed its own system of administration under its own separate leadership. Towards the end of the 12th and early 13th centuries, control over many of the cities in Tuscany and Veneto passed to elected or appointed consules. The sources show that their appointments normally lasted for only one year. In some cases, the local bishops also retained some temporal responsibility. The previously ruling comital families maintained some influence during the earlier part of this period, although by the mid-13th century many of them had been expelled from the territories which their families had previously governed.
A further change can be observed from the 13th century onwards. In each city, one or two ruling families started to emerge as the leading force in local politics. Often adopting the title "captain-general" or something similar, they replaced the consules. Their positions became hereditary over time. In some cases, the families adopted comital titles and spread their jurisdiction outside their cities.
The nobility in the Carniola/Friulia/Istria area in north-western Italy is shown in the document CARINTHIA.
The present-day Italian region of Emilia Romagna is located south of Lombardia and Veneto, and north of Toscana and Marche, in the central part of northern Italy. Currently the region is divided administratively into the provinces of Piacenza, Parma, Reggio Emilia and Modena, in the western Emilia half, and Bologna, Ferrara, Ravenna, Forlě and Rimini in Romagna. The medieval counties of Pallavicino, Modena, Parma, Piacenza and Reggio were located in Emilia, and Bologna and Ferrara in Romagna. Other medieval counties identified in the region are Aucia, Cervia (Ficocle), Cesena, Comacchio, Correggio, Forlí, Forlimpopoli, Imola, Modigliana, Rimini, Sarsina and Valle Lamone, but no information has yet been found on their counts.

The basis for the date 1393 is not known. Thierry Ganchou notes that there is no primary source which confirms her name, which he says was possibly confused with the name of one of her daughters, and that occidental sources name Ilario Doria as "cognatus" or "sororius" of Emperor Manuel II, which suggests that Ilario´s wife was the illegitimate daughter of Emperor Ioannes V, not of Emperor Manuel II[64]. If she was the daughter of Emperor Ioannes V, she must have born been late in the emperor´s life if the supposed date of her marriage is correct. Ilario & his wife had [two] children:

The primary sources which confirm the parentage and marriages of this family have not yet been identified, unless otherwise stated below. Many of the sources which have been found identify the relationships in the later generations of the Fieschi family only as "nepos/neptis" of the two Popes Innocent IV and Adrian V.

He succeeded as Marchese d'Este and Signore di Ferrara 1264.
4. BEATRICE Fieschi (-8/9 Jul 1283). Matthew Paris dates this marriage to 1251 and specifies that the bride (unnamed) was the niece of Pope Innocent IV who arranged her marriage with Thomas de Savoie, ex-Count of Flanders[115]. This marriage was arranged as part of the process of reconciliation between Thomas's brother, Amédée IV Comte de Savoie, and Pope Innocent IV following the death of Emperor Friedrich II in 1250[116]. Her dowry consisted of the castles of Rivoli and Viana with Vallesuessia[117].

10. [daughter . Matthew Paris records that Pope Innocent IV arranged the marriage of his niece to "domino de Tur de Pin" in 1251 and that he accepted his bride "non ratione personć muliebris, sed pecunić eam concomitantis"[123]. It is not certain that this refers to a second marriage of Albert [III]. The other possibility is that it refers to his son by his [first] marriage, Albert [IV]. However, it seems unlikely that the latter would have been referred to as "domino de Tur de Pin" during his father's lifetime. The bride was presumably an otherwise unknown sister or first cousin of Beatrice Fieschi, another niece of Pope Innocent IV who arranged her marriage with Thomas Conte di Piemonte [Savoy]. m (before 4 May 1220) [as his second wife,] ALBERT [III] Sire de la Tour-du-Pin, son of ALBERT [II] Sire de la Tour-du-Pin & his wife Marie d'Auvergne (-[Apr 1259/Jun 1260]).]

m ISABELLA di Monferrato, daughter of RANIERI III Marchese di Monferrato & his wife Gisčle de Bourgogne-Comté. William of Tyre names "Guido comes de Blandrada qui prćdicti marchionis [Guglielmo V] sororem habebat uxorem" when recording his presence with Konrad III King of Germany in Palestine in 1148[217].

A charter dated 8 Apr 1190 records an agreement between the consuls of Vercelli and "domini di Bornato", naming "dominum Ottonem comitem de Blandrato"[220]. m ---. The name of Oddone's wife is not known. Oddone & his wife had [three children]:
a) [UBERTO [I] (-before 7 Jul 1202). Although confirmed as the brother of Ranieri by the charter dated 1192 which is quoted below, the primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. The charter dated 6 Jun 1220, which names his supposed son Oddone first of the three conti di Biandrate, suggests that Uberto was the oldest son of Conte Oddone. Conte di Biandrate. "Dominus comes Albertus de Blandrato et eius filii" confirmed a peace agreement with the consuls of Ivrea by charter dated 1 Dec 1192[221]. "Ubertus comes de Biandra, Mainfredus marchio de Busca, Vilielmus marchio de Bosco…" witnessed a charter dated 11 Feb 1197 under which "Mainfredus II marchio Salutiarum" decided a dispute between Bonifazio Marchese di Monferrato and the consuls of Asti[222].] m ---.

i) UBERTO [II] (-after 1209). "Dominus Ubertus comes filius condam domini Uberti comitis de Blandrato" donated property to the monastery of Santa Maria di Casanova by charter dated 7 Jul 1202[223]. He was appointed regent in Thessaloniki during the minority of Demetrio di Monferrato King of Thessaloniki. He refused to swear allegiance to Henri I Latin Emperor of Constantinople and, in the name of King Demetrio, claimed all of mainland Greece. The emperor invaded Thessaloniki to suppress the revolt, captured Uberto and imprisoned him in the castle of Serres under the guard of Bernhard Graf von Katzenelnbogen. After his release, Uberto went to Eubśa where he plotted to assassinate the emperor, and later returned to Italy[224].
ii) [ODDONE (-after 6 Jun 1220). Conte di Biandrate. A charter dated 6 Jun 1220 recording an agreement between the commune of Vercelli and "dominus Otto et dominus Conradus Blandratenses comites…ac nomine domini Gocy Blandratensis comitis", referring to "comes Otto in vita sua"[225]. This document does not specify the parentage of the three conti di Biandrate who are named. However, "dominus Conradus" can most likely be identified as the son of Conte Ranieri who is named below. Because "dominus Otto" is named before Corrado in the document, he was probably senior. However, the charter dated 1 Sep 1209 which is quoted below names Corrado as first of the three sons of Ranieri. "Dominus Otto" must presumably therefore have been the son of an older brother of Ranieri. As the document also names "domini Gocy", presumably identified as Conte Gottofredo, it is likely that "dominus Otto" was the son of Uberto, who must therefore have been the oldest brother.]
iii) [GOTTOFREDO [II] (-after Jun 1221). Conte di Romagna: Emperor Friedrich II granted "comitatum Romandiole" to "Gottefredus comes de Blandrato" by charter dated Jun 1221[226]. Gingins-la-Sarraz records that this Gottofredo was one of the three sons of Uberto, citing only the charter dated Jun 1221 just quoted[227]. The document in question includes no indication of the parentage of the grantee, or whether he was the person referred to in the present document as Gottofredo [I] or Gottofredo [II].]
b) [RANIERI (-[1192/Sep 1197]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Conte di Biandrate.

Gotium comitem de Blandrato et filios domini Oberti", by charter dated 1192[228]. His death is dated by the charter dated 1 Sep 1209, quoted below, which records that Emperor Heinrich VI (died Sep 1197) had granted land to Ranieri´s sons, presumably after Ranieri himself had died.] m ---. The name of Ranieri´s wife is not known. Ranieri & his wife had children:
i) CORRADO .

From the 11th to late 13th centuries, Sardinia was divided into four territories, Arborea, Cagliari, Gallura and Torres, whose hereditary rulers are generally recorded in contemporary sources with the title “judge”. The precise start of this system of government cannot be dated, although the earliest reference to a judge of Cagliari is recorded in 1002. Throughout this period, the island was the object of Genoese and Pisan commercial ambitions: numerous short-lived alliances between both groups and different Sardinian rulers are recorded in charters. After the extinction in the male line of the four ruling Sardinian families during the course of the 12th and 13th centuries, rights to the judgeships fragmented between heirs through the female line. Enzio, illegitimate son of Emperor Friedrich II, acquired part of the judgeship of Torres through his first wife and his father installed him briefly as king of Sardinia. The absence of central control enabled the Genoese to gain the upper hand, while the Pope acquired the interests of certain heirs. The island became the object of Aragonese/Catalonian ambitions and in 1297 Pope Boniface VIII granted the kingdom of Sardinia to Jaime II King of Aragon under papal suzerainty in return for armed assistance in Italy[292]. The details of the genealogies of the families of the judges of Sardinia are sparse, with many gaps. Some information has only been confirmed in Fara´s De Rebus Sardois, which was written in 1579[293]. Unfortunately Fara cites few primary sources in support of his statements, some of which are contradicted by charter evidence. Selected extracts only from Fara´s work have been included in the narrative of this chapter where indicated.

No contemporary primary source has been identified which confirms that this supposition is correct or indicates the approximate dates of his rule.

BARISONE, son of COMITA Judge of Arborea & his wife --- (-1185). Fara names “Helenam Orru” as the wife of “Comita II de Lacon” and mother of “Barisonem filium et filiam Anastasiam”[411].

Emperor Friedrich I granted a royal crown to "Barasonem Judicem" in 1165[415]. "Iudice Barusone Darboree" donated property to "Susanna fiia mia", with the consent of "donna Algabursa mugere mia regina de Logu Darboree", by charter dated 1165[416]. “Baruson iudex de Arborea” made peace with “Barusone iudice Turritano”, including arrangements for property held by the latter “tempore Gunnarii quondam iudicis”, by charter dated 1168[417]. “Baruson iudex Arborensis” made peace with “Petro iudice Karalitano”, including arrangements for property held by the latter “tempore Costantini quondam iudicis”, by charter dated Dec 1169[418]. “Iudice Barasune podestando totu Logu d´Arboreć...cum mugera mia donna Algaburga regina de Logu” confirmed the church of S.

Maria, Pisa by charter dated Jun 1185 witnessed by “Puneu nebode meu”[420].
m firstly (repudiated) PELLEGRINA de Lacon, daughter of --- (-after 27 Apr 1195). Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 27 Apr 1195 under which [her son] “Iudice Petrus Darboree” donated annual income to S. Lorenzo, Genoa, with the consent of “donna mama mia donna Pelegrina de Lacon et de Barusone de Lacon filio meo”[421]. Presumably she was repudiated by her husband as she was still alive at the date of this document.
m secondly ([31] Oct 1157) AGALBURGA de Bas-Cevera, daughter of PONCE [II] de Bas-Cevera Vizconde de Bas & his [first wife --- or his second wife Almodis de Barcelona] (-after 8 Oct 1186). “Parason...iudex Arborć filius quondam Comita item iudicis Arboreć” granted property to “dominć Agalbursć...uxori meć filić quondam Pontii de Cervera” on their marriage by charter dated 31 Oct 1157, witnessed by “...Ugonis vicecomitis...”[422]. If Agalburga was born from her father´s marriage to Almodis, her mother would have been less than ten years old at the time. Although early marriage was common, this does seem a little exaggerated. It is therefore possible that Agalburga was born from an otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage of her father. "Iudice Barusone Darboree" donated property to "Susanna fiia mia", with the consent of "donna Algabursa mugere mia regina de Logu Darboree", by charter dated 1165[423]. “A...Arboree Regina” granted navigation rights “in toto Arborensi iudicatu” to the commune of Genoa by charter dated 8 Oct 1186, naming “Poncium nepotem meum [...filius quondam Ugonis de Bassis] post quam ad etatem 14 annorum pervenerit”[424].

The absence from this document of his father´s second wife Agalburga suggests that Pietro was probably born from his father´s first marriage, although this is not beyond all doubt. “Petrus...rex et iudex Arborensis quondam Baresonis regis filius et iudicis Arboree” committed to pay debts to the commune of Genoa by charter dated 29 May 1188, witnessed by “...Orzocor de Lacon filio quondam Barasonis rex et iudex Arborensis Curator de Barberia Dagusti...”[426]. “Petrus...iudex Arborensis filius quondam Baresoni iudicis Arboren. et Ugo filius quondam Ugonis de Bas qui olim Poncet nominabatur consilio...Raimundi de Turingia maioris...curatorem” confirmed rights of the commune of Genoa by charter dated 20 Feb 1192[427]. “Iudice Petrus Darboree” donated annual income to S.

Fara quotes a bull of Pope Innocent III dated 1199 which records that “Petrum Arboreensem iudicem et filium eius parvulum” were captured by “marchio iudex Caralitanus”[429]. m as her first husband, B---, daughter of ---. Fara names “Bina” as wife of “Petrus de Serra Barisonis de Lacon filius, iudex Arboreensis” and mother of his son[430]. This information has not been confirmed by primary source evidence. Pope Innocent III ordered an enquiry into the case of “B. nobilis mulieris” who had married “iudici Arborensi” and had one child by him, and had then married “Hugoni comiti” by whom she had two sons whose legitimation had been requested from the Pope, dated 16 May 1207[431].

Lorenzo, Genoa, with the consent of “donna mama mia donna Pelegrina de Lacon et de Barusone de Lacon filio meo”, for the souls of “padre meu et...Torbine frade meu”, by charter dated 27 Apr 1195[432]. Fara quotes a bull of Pope Innocent III dated 1199 which records that “Petrum Arboreensem iudicem et filium eius parvulum” were captured by “marchio iudex Caralitanus”[433]. [“Jugi Trogodori de Unali cum donna Benedicta de Lacon muliere mia” confirmed the donation made to the church of S. Giorgio di Suelli by “juigi Pedru” for his soul and those of “filias suas”, by charter dated 30 Sep 1215[434]. It is assumed that this charter refers to Barisone di Arborea, but no other document has yet been identified which gives him the alternative name “Trogodori”.] m (before 1211) as her first husband, BENEDETTA di Massa, daughter of GUGLIELMO di Massa Judge of Cagliari & his first wife Adelasia Malaspina ([1194]-Massa [1232/33]). Muratori records the papal homage of "Prasson marchionis Massć et judicis Kalaritani et Benedictć eius uxoris", undated[435]. Tola states that Pietro Judge of Arborea married “Barisone...di lui figlio primogenito” to “Benedetta...figilia di Guglielmo I marchese di Massa”[436]. The primary source which confirms the marriage has not yet been identified. She married secondly (9 Apr 1220, annulled by the Papacy) as his second wife, Lamberto Visconti Judge of Gallura, thirdly Enrico di Ceola, and fourthly Conte Rinaldo Gualandi. Barisone & his wife had one child:
2. TORBINO (-before 27 Apr 1195). “Iudice Petrus Darboree” donated annual income to S. Lorenzo, Genoa, with the consent of “donna mama mia donna Pelegrina de Lacon et de Barusone de Lacon filio meo”, for the souls of “padre meu et...Torbine frade meu”, by charter dated 27 Apr 1195[437].
3. SINISPELLA . "Iudice Barusone Darboree" donated property to "Susanna fiia mia", with the consent of "donna Algabursa mugere mia regina de Logu Darboree", by charter dated 1165[438]. Fara names “Spellam Arboreensem” as the wife of “Comita II, Barisonis quartus filius”, and mother of “Marianum filium, filiasque Mariam et Pretiosam”[439]. This information has not been confirmed by primary source evidence. m firstly UC PONCE de Cevera Vizconde de Bas, son of PONCE [II] de Bas-Cevera Vizconde de Bas & his wife Almodis de Barcelona (-1185). m secondly as his first wife, COMITA de Lacon Judge of Torres, son of GONARIO [II] Judge of Torres & his wife --- (-1218).
Barisone had one [probably illegitimate] child by [an unknown mistress]:

The later succession of Ugo Ponce de Bas as judge of Arborea suggests that Orzocor was probably illegitimate.]
The relationship, if any, between the following person and the main family of judges of Arborea has not been traced:
1. CONSTANTINO (-after 20 Oct 1211). Judge of Arborea. “Iudice Constantinus de Arborea territorium...cum uxore domina Anna” founded the monastery of S.

(a) GUIDO da Battifolle (-after 1316). The Historia of Giovanni Villani names "il Conte Guido da Battifolle" as the son of "e´l Conte Simone"[578]. The Historia of Giovanni Villani records that Robert King of Sicily appointed "il Conte Guido da Battifolle" as his vicar-general in Florence in 1316[579].
c) RUGGIERI . The Historia of Giovanni Villani names "Rugieri, onde nacque il Conte Guido Guerra" as the second son of "il Conte Guido vecchio" and his wife[580]. m ---. The name of Rugieri´s wife is not known. Rugieri & his wife had two children:
i) GUIDO Guerra . The Historia of Giovanni Villani names "Rugieri, onde nacque il Conte Guido Guerra, e´l Conte Salvatico" as the second son of "il Conte Guido vecchio" and his wife[581]. The Historia of Giovanni Villani records that "il Conte Guido Guerra de´ Conti Guidi" led the Florentines in 1255 in a war against Viterbo[582].

The Annales Mantuani record consules of Mantua from 1183 until 1299, each holding office for one or sometimes two years only[587]. After the early 13th century, the source more commonly refers to office-holders with the title potestas, but it is clear that this refers to the same office. The list includes individuals from Bergamo, Padua, Milan, Bologna, Verona and Cremona, as well as members of the family of the marchesi d´Este and certain bishops. There are few indications that Mantuans were called upon frequently to fill the office. Throughout this period, the Annales Mantuani provide no indication of a local comital family enjoying any position of influence in Mantua, which contrasts with the case of Verona where the conti de San Bonifazio (also referred to in some sources as conti di Verona) are named in both Veronese and Mantuan sources until the 1260s. The Annales Mantuani signal the arrival on the Mantuan scene of the "comitibus de Casalolto" (about whom no other information has yet been found) in 1268, when they are recorded as having expelled "Roffinus de Zanichalis et Gaffari cum sua parte", but they were expelled to Gonzaga in 1272[588]. Giovanni di Musso´s Chronicon Placentinum records that "Botexella de Bonacossis primogenitus Johannis primogeniti Pinamontis Principis Mantuanorum" expelled "patruis suis Bardono et Taino tunc Dominis Mantuć" in 1299, with the help of "Domini Alberti I de la Scala de Verona", and acquired "dominium…civitatis Mantuć" and that in 1328 the Gonzaga brothers killed "Dominum Passarinum de Bonacossis" and took the lordship of the city[589].
Between its record of the death of Matilda Ctss of Tuscany (in 1115) and the invasion of Lucca by the Pisans "cum comite Guidone" in 1150, the Annales Pisani of Bernardo Marangoni record no counts in Pisa[590]. The first mention in the same source of consules in Pisa is the record of events in 1156 "in consulatu Cocci"[591]. The counts remained on the scene in Pisa after the arrival of the consules: the Annales Pisani of Bernardo Marangoni record "comitem Guidonem" again in 1159, and "comite Gerardo…comes Guido tunc puer" in 1160[592]. However, the role of the counts in the government of the town was limited as shown in the same source which records that "Ionatta filius Tolomei de Tusculan" came to Pisa in 1161 and swore allegiance to "Villano archiepiscopo Pisanorum et consulibus", without mentioning the counts[593].
1. GUIDO (-after Aug 1159). Conte di Pisa. The Annales Pisani of Bernardo Marangoni record that the Pisans "cum comite Guidone" destroyed large parts of Lucca in 1150[594]. The Annales Pisani of Bernardo Marangoni record a ten year peace agreed in mid-1159 between the Pisans "et comitem Guidonem et Senenses et Pistorienses et comitem Albertum de Prata" on the one side and "Lucenses et…Florentinos et Pratenses et capitaneos et Garfagninos" on the other[595].
2. GERARDO (-after 23 Aug 1175). Conte di Pisa. The Annales Pisani of Bernardo Marangoni record that the Pisan consules sent "Pellarium consulem cum comite Gerardo" to support Emperor Friedrich I "Barbarossa" in the siege of Milan "XV Kal Sep" in 1150[596]. The Annales Pisani of Bernardo Marangoni record the presence of "consules Pisani cum comite Gerardo" at "burgum Sancti Genesii" for the visit "XIII Kal Apr" in 1160 by "Guelfus dux Spoleti marchio Tuscie", adding that "consules Pistorienses et Senenses, et comes Guido tunc puer, et comes Ildebrandinus, et consules Lucenses, Florentini" were also present[597]. The Annales Pisani of Bernardo Marangoni record that "comes Ildebrandinus miles signifier et capitaneus…[et] comes Albertus de Prata…comes Gerardus…et Rainerius comes et Ugo comes et comes Tedicius de Bizerno, et Uguicio et Tegrimus comites de Cornino" supported the Pisans in their war against Lucca in 1171[598]. The Annales Pisani of Bernardo Marangoni record that "Christianus archiepiscopus…cum Lucensibus, Senensibus…et comitis Guidi" prepared to invade Pisa in 1173 and captured "castrum Vetrignanum…XVII Kal Sep" from "comitis Gerardi"[599]. The Annales Pisani of Bernardo Marangoni record the peace signed "X Kal Sep" in 1175 by "comes Gerardus et Ugo Rolandi iudex, legati Pisanorum" with Rome[600].
3. GUIDO (-after 1160). The Annales Pisani of Bernardo Marangoni record the presence of "consules Pisani cum comite Gerardo" at "burgum Sancti Genesii" for the visit "XIII Kal Apr" in 1160 by "Guelfus dux Spoleti marchio Tuscie", adding that "consules Pistorienses et Senenses, et comes Guido tunc puer, et comes Ildebrandinus, et consules Lucenses, Florentini" were also present, but that a dispute arose between "Lucenses et Florentini…cum comite Guidone" and that "comes Guido tunc puer" was forced to flee to the duke[601].
4. MARCO (-after 1172). Conte di Pisa. The Annales Pisani of Bernardo Marangoni record that the Pisans sent "Albertus quondam Bulsi consul, Burgundius iuris…atque Marcus comes" on a mission to Constantinople in 1172[602].
1. ALBERTO (-after 1171). The Annales Pisani of Bernardo Marangoni record a ten year peace agreed in mid-1159 between the Pisans "et comitem Guidonem et Senenses et Pistorienses et comitem Albertum de Prata" on the one side and "Lucenses et…Florentinos et Pratenses et capitaneos et Garfagninos" on the other[603]. The Annales Pisani of Bernardo Marangoni record that "comes Ildebrandinus miles signifier et capitaneus…[et] comes Albertus de Prata…comes Gerardus…et Rainerius comes et Ugo comes et comes Tedicius de Bizerno, et Uguicio et Tegrimus comites de Cornino" supported the Pisans in their war against Lucca in 1171[604].
References to counts in Siena, belonging to the Aldobrandeschi family, have been found in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. No further references either to counts or any other governing authority in Siena have been found between 1225 and 1265 when the Annales Senenses record that "domino Inghirano de Gorzano capitaneo Senensem populum gubernante" captured "civitas Grosseti" from "Patiglano et…Sancta Flora comites"[605]. It is assumed that, as with most other northern Italian cities in the mid-13th century, the government of Siena was transferred to appointed or elected consules or capitanes some time during that period, but the precise date when this happened in Siena has not yet been identified. No further references to the Sienese government are found in the Annales Senenses until 1343 when "dominus Franciscus de Montone" is referred to as "generalis capitaneus guerre civitatis Senensis" when recording that he subjugated the city of Florence[606]. A statement in a later passage in the same source refers to "communi Senarum" in 1359[607], which appears to confirm that Siena was a self-governing city by that time. A curious aspect of the history of Siena is that the Annales Senenses continue to refer to "comitatus Senensi" until 1363, although no reference is found to any counts[608].
