Sanseverino (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sanseverino coat of arms

The Sanseverino are one of the most famous families in southern Italian history, the first of the seven great houses of the Kingdom of Naples , with a branch line that also owned the Po Valley in the 15th century . The family came to a total of more than 300 fiefs, 40 counties, 9 margraviates, 12 duchies and 10 principalities, mainly in Calabria , Campania , Basilicata and Apulia . Its members include cardinals, viceroys, marshals and generals. A branch of the family still exists today, that of the Baron de Marcellinara. The title of Prince of Bisignano passed to the Costa family in 1895 through the female line.

Family history

Blason famille it Sanseverino.svg

The family was founded by Turgisio, a Norman descended from the Dukes of Normandy ; from Robert Guiskard in 1061 he received the county Rota (now Mercato San Severino ), which in a strategically important location represented the connection between the principality of Salerno and the duchies of Naples and Benevento . After the family took their seat in the Sanseverino Castle, which was part of their new property, they took its name. The brothers of Turgisio founded the Gravina and Filangeri families . Due to their participation in uprisings against the Hohenstaufen and the Anjou family, the Sanseverino family was later almost destroyed, but managed to return to the old power.

In the 15th century, the Sanseverino split into two major branches, the Salerno and the Bisignano . Other branches were the Counts of Lauria and Dukes of Scalea , the Dukes of San Donato , Counts of Tricarico , Counts of Caiazzo and Counts of Colorno , Barons of Calvera , Barons of Marcellinara and many more. The Sangineto family, who used to live in Naples and Calabria and who took their name from the Sangineto fief , also descends from this family .

An extraordinary privilege

The Sanseverino belonged to the Seven Great Houses of the Kingdom of Naples , next to the Acquaviva , Celano , Evoli, Marzano, Molise and Ruffo (the houses Evoli, Marzano and Molise are now extinct). The houses of Aquino , del Balzo and Piccolomini were among the supporters of the Seven .

The Sanseverino had a semi-sovereign status in the Kingdom of Naples, which was repeatedly confirmed by the rulers. King Charles IV also determined in 1520 that in the absence of male heirs, the fiefs of the family should not be lost through female succession, but should go to the next male relative: “In quantumcunque remotus etiam decimo et ulteriori gradu ex quacumque linea trasversali, adscendenti seu descendenti… Et inter ipsos de cognomine de Sancto Severino progenitura et gradus servatur… “When in 1606 the Prince of Bisignano, Nicolò Bernardino Sanseverino, died without an heir (the only son was different from his father), his niece Giulia became the property of his niece Orsini , daughter of Antonio Orsini, Duke of Gravina, and Felicia Sanseverino, albeit not without trial before the Royal Court of Justice. After Giulia's death (1609), the privilege was restored and Luigi Sanseverino, Count of Saponara (today Grumento Nova ) and sixth cousin, was recognized as an inheritance, but not for the County of Tricarico, which was auctioned at the will of the sovereign and so as The main source of income for the family disappeared.

Dukes of San Donato

In 1374, as a result of the marriage of Margherita di Sangineto with Venceslao Sanseverino, 3rd Count of Tricarico and Chiaromonte , the fief of San Donato in Calabria came to the Sanseverino of Tricarico. Around 1510 Berardino Sanseverino, 3rd Prince of Bisignano, gave the land of San Donato and Policastrello as a princely fief to a younger member of the family, Francesco Sanseverino Baron of Calvera in Basilicata as the founder of the branch of Sanseverino San Donato. On September 29, 1602, Philip III. of Spain the barony to duchy for Don Scipione "junior" Sanseverino from the line of the barons of Calvera and made him the 1st Duke of San Donato.

  • Don Scipione “junior” Sanseverino (1588-1640) was the 3rd Baron of San Donato, became Marchese on November 30, 1598 and on September 29, 1602 (including the Privilegio ) by Philip III. appointed 1st Duke of San Donato. He was also the 4th Baron Policastrello. In 1605 his mother, Donna Lucrezia Carafa, bought for him the fief of Poggiano or Rogliano or Roggiano and the Larderia farm (now part of Messina ) from the Prince of Bisignano. The next year the Altomonte fiefdom also fell under his rule, which later went to the House of Annunziata in Naples. The purchase of the Roggiano fief also included in part the acquisition of the residence of San Donato in Reggiano, where the ducal family spent most of the year.
  • Don Francesco Sanseverino (November 1, 1611, † October 8, 1648) was killed by his vassals of San Donato along with two of his daughters during the riots that followed the revolt of Masaniello in Naples:

"It is a time of serious discontent with the Sandonatese, which, together with and as a result of events that happened in the capital of the kingdom in 1647, raged against their master that distanced themselves from all respect and obedience," in his Saving grain started fire, slaughtered all the herds of the various animals that the Duchess captured, with the deaths of two of her daughters and the landlord and many other excesses of cruelty, "as reported in a dispatch from the Venetian resident in Naples on August 6, 1647 becomes." He was the 2nd Duke of San Donato since December 11, 1640, 5th Baron Policastrello and 1st Baron Roggiano and Patrizio Napoletano . This line was to administer the property until 1654, the year in which the only surviving daughter, the last Duchess of San Donato, the nine-year-old Anna died and the fiefdom was confiscated by the king. The fiefdom and the title of Duke of San Donato were then auctioned off by the sovereign, acquired in 1664 by the Ametrano family from Naples.

The other princes of Bisignano

After the death of Niccolò Berardino, the 5th Prince of Bisignano, a struggle for succession and fortune broke out between Giulia Orsini (daughter of a sister Nicolò Bernardino) and Luigi Sanseverino di Saponara, which lasted until 1622 and with the latter's investiture ended, although much of the fortune had been lost in the meantime.

  • Luigi Sanseverino di Saponara also died without a male heir, so the title went to his brother Carlo, then to his son, Carlo Maria, who established his residence in Altomonte; he was followed by Giuseppe Sanseverino, the father of the blessed Mariangela del Crocifisso. Luigi Sanseverino II, 11th Prince of Bisignano from 1727, was also awarded the Golden Fleece in 1731. His second son Don Luigi Sanseverino III. was appointed grandee of Spain ; he led an ascetic life and abdicated in 1783.
  • The other princes are: Tommaso Sanseverino (1759–1814), brother Luigis, Pietro Antonio Sanseverino (1790–1865) and his son Luigi Sanseverino (1823–1888). The branch of the princes of Bisignano died in the male line with the death of Luigi Sanseverino, 16th prince of Bisignano, who had only daughters. The eldest daughter Antonia Sanseverino (1843-1875), 24th Countess of Chiaromonte and married to the Marchese Francesco Costa from the Costa di Arielli family, was the mother of Luigi Costa, who with royal consent (December 17, 1895) and later royal Decree (October 22, 1897) took the name Costa Sanseverino and followed his grandfather in his titles. He became the 17th Prince of Bisignano and founded the line of the Costa Sanseverino Bisignano. Luigi Costa's son Edoardo (1909–1983) was the 18th prince, his son Luigi Costa Sanseverino (* 1940) is the 19th prince of Bisignano.
