Francesco II d'Este
Francesco II. D'Este (* March 6, 1660 - † September 6, 1694 ) from the House of Este was the son of Laura Martinozzi and Duke Alfonso IV. D'Este , Modena and Reggio . On July 6, 1662 he became his successor.
Francesco II married on July 14, 1692 Margherita Farnese (born November 24, 1664; June 17, 1718), the daughter of Duke Ranuccio II Farnese of Parma . Since the marriage remained childless, his uncle, Cardinal Rinaldo d'Este (1655–1737), inherited the duchies.
In 1689 Arcangelo Corelli dedicated his Op. 3 (12 sonata a tre ). In 1674, the Reggio-based composer Francesco Asioli dedicated his first guitar work to him as a patron.
