Torres (Sardinia)
Torres was one of the four medieval judicates in Sardinia . It was in the northwest of the island and bordered by Gallura to the northeast and east, Arborea to the south and southwest, and Calari ( Cagliari ) to the south and southeast. Like the other judiciaries, Torres was ruled by judges.
The Torres judiciary came into the focus of history when Emperor Friedrich II intervened there for his son Enzio .
After the death of Mariano II, judge of Torres, his daughter Adelasia de Lacon-Gunale became a judge in 1236. She was married to Ubaldo Visconti , judge of Gallura. After Visconti's death, in October 1238, she married Enzio, who then became a judge of Torres, and in 1239 was appointed king of all Sardinia by his father, without the judiciary being abolished. The marriage was divorced in 1246.
