Alberto II della Scala
Alberto II. Della Scala (* 1306 ; † 13 September 1352 ) from the Scaliger family was Lord of Verona , initially as co-regent of his uncle Cangrande I della Scala , after his death in 1329 then together with his younger brother Mastino II della Scala , which he survived by a year. Both were sons of Alboino I della Scala and Beatrice of Corregio.
Alberto II and Mastino II were the richest and most powerful princes of their generation in Italy. The two continued the politics of their uncle (with Alberto in the background and Mastino left the politically active part), conquered Brescia in 1332 and extended their power beyond the Po . They acquired Parma (1335) and Lucca (1339) and provoked the fact that in 1337 a powerful coalition was formed against them: Florence , Venice , the Visconti , the Este and the Gonzaga allied, and after three years of war the Scaliger dominated again limited to Verona and Vicenza.
Alberto was married to Agnes von Görz, the daughter of Count Heinrich; the marriage remained without heirs.
