Visconti

The coat of arms of the Visconti family from 1395 Biscione with a crown

Visconti is the name of one of the great Italian families who ruled Milan and Lombardy for a long time ; they claimed the descent of Desiderius , the last king of the Lombards . In the 11th century the Visconti owned lands on Lake Como and Lake Maggiore . In 1277 and again in 1281 the Ghibellines defeated the Guelphs who controlled Milan , the della Torre family (who returned again in 1302-11) and now ruled as Podestà and Signori . From 1395 they ruled as dukes over Milan and Lombardy. In 1447 the last Visconti of the ruling line died. After his death, the Duchy of Milan fell to his son-in-law from the Sforza family, from which the dukes emerged from then until 1535.

Side branches of the family still exist today.

history

Visconti coat of arms in the ducal dignity of Milan enhanced with the imperial eagle

Gian Galeazzo Visconti, Duke of Milan, commissioned a genealogy at the end of the 14th century, with which the Visconti were traced back to the Counts of Angera , to whom Pope Gregory the Great granted several royal courts, including those in Milan and Monza, in 606 should have. In 1397, with the help of this construct, Gian Galeazzo succeeded in getting the German King Wenzel awarded him the nobility and the title of Count of Angera. In this genealogy appear:

  • Ottone, who is said to have killed an Arab ruler in the First Crusade , in 1099 during the battle for Jerusalem ; The background to this detail is a desired explanation for the family coat of arms, whose snake emblem is said to have been adopted by this opponent.
  • Galvano Visconti, who defended Milan against Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa , whereupon the latter deprived him of the title of Count of Angera and downgraded him to Vice Count, which should serve as an explanation for the family name.

Archbishop Ottone Visconti

The Visconti have been politically active in Milan since the middle of the 11th century (see below), but only came to power after around 200 years. The basis for the family fortune was laid by Ottone Visconti (* 1207; † August 8, 1295), a canon from Desio who, through the influence of Cardinal Ottaviano Ubaldini (1214-1272), was ruled by Pope Urban IV (1261-1264) in 1262 Leader of the Ghibellines was appointed Archbishop of Milan . The della Torre family , who were leaders of the Guelfs and who controlled the city at the time, resisted the appointment, and it was only after his victory at Desio in 1277 that Ottone was able to take possession of his diocese and rule the Visconti to establish the city. He had Napoleone della Torre and five of his relatives locked in iron cages and directed his further efforts towards the future of his nephew Matteo.

Matteo I. Visconti (born August 15, 1250 in Invorio ) succeeded his uncle as the political leader of Milan, and although an uprising of the della Torre in 1302 forced him to flee to Verona , his steadfast loyalty to the imperial cause in Italy brought him thanks from Henry VII . (ruled 1308-1313), the reinstatement in Milan in 1311 and the office of imperial vicar of Lombardy. However, Heinrich Matteo seems to have mistrusted Matteo, probably not wrongly, as he was primarily pursuing his own goals and trying to eliminate the competing family of the della Torre (who were Guelfish). Matteo brought Piacenza , Tortona , Pavia , Bergamo , Vercelli , Cremona and Alessandria under his rule. Though a able general, he relied more heavily on diplomacy and bribery for his acquisitions and was viewed as the model of a cautious Italian despot. His persistent Ghibelline policy and his dispute with Pope John XXII. (ruled 1316–1334) over the occupation of the bishopric in Milan brought him in 1322 excommunication by the papal legate Bertrand du Pouget . He abdicated in favor of his son Galeazzo and died in Crescenzago on June 24th of the same year. In addition to Galeazzo, he also left the sons Marco, Lucchino, Giovanni and Stefano.

Galeazzo I. Visconti ruled Milan from 1322 to 1328

Galeazzo I. Visconti (* 1277; † 1328) on an engraving

Galeazzo I. Visconti (* 1277; † 1328) ruled Milan from 1322 to 1328. He sat down in 1324 with the support of Emperor Ludwig IV (ruled 1314-1347) in Vaprio on the Adda against the army that the Pope against the Visconti had sent. In 1327 the emperor imprisoned him in Monza because he was suspected of having made peace with the church; he was only released because of the intervention of his friend Castruccio Castracani . From his wife Beatrice d'Este he had a son, Azzo, who was his successor. His brother Marco was in command of a German force that conquered Pisa and Lucca ; he died in 1329.

Azzo Visconti (* 1302; † 1339), who followed his father in 1328, bought the title of imperial vicar for 25,000 florins from the same emperor who had imprisoned Galeazzo. He conquered ten cities, murdered his uncle Marco (1329), suppressed an uprising by his cousin Lodrisio, reorganized the administration of his lands, built the octagonal tower of San Gottardo and left Milan to his uncles Lucchino and Giovanni.

Luchino Visconti

Luchino Visconti made peace with the church in 1341 and bought Parma from Obizzo III. d'Este and brought Pisa into its dependence. Although he was an able general and regent, he was also jealous and cruel; he was poisoned in 1349 by his wife Isabella Fieschi. His brother Giovanni Visconti , Archbishop of Milan and ruler of the city from 1349 to 1354, was one of the notable characters of his time. He supported Francesco Petrarch , extended the rule of the Visconti over Bologna (1350), opposed Pope Clement VI. (ruled 1342-1352) and annexed Genoa (1353); at his death on October 5, 1354, he had extended the rule of his family over all of northern Italy except Piedmont , Verona, Mantua , Ferrara and Venice . The Visconti of the time of Archbishop Giovanni were no longer rivals of the della Torre, nor were they dependent on imperial whims, but real sovereign rulers with recognized power over Milan and its surroundings. When Giovanni's death, the state was divided among the three sons of Stefan, Matteo II, Galeazzo II and Bernabo:

Matteo II. Visconti , who followed in Bologna, Lodi , Piacenza and Parma, devoted himself to immorality and was murdered in 1355 on the orders of his brothers, who then ruled his territories together and with comparative ability.

Galeazzo II. Visconti

Galeazzo II. Visconti (approx. 1320–1378), who resided in Pavia, was elegant and handsome, a patron of Petrarch, founder of the University of Pavia and a gifted diplomat. He married his daughter Violante to Lionel, Duke of Clarence , a son of the English King Edward III. (ruled 1327-1377), which cost him a trousseau of 200,000 gold florins, and his son Gian Galeazzo to Isabella, daughter of King John II of France (ruled 1350-1364). He died in 1378.

Bernabò Visconti

Bernabò Visconti (approx. 1323–1385), who resided in Milan, was permanently involved in wars; and had to raise very heavy taxes to cover their costs. He fought against the Popes Innocent VI. (ruled 1352-1362) and Urban V. (ruled 1362-1370), who called a crusade against him. He also fought against Emperor Charles IV (ruled 1346-1378), who declared him forfeit of his fiefdom. He sought sole power in the state after the death of his brother, but was killed by his young nephew Gian Galeazzo (1385).

Gian Galeazzo Visconti

Gian Galeazzo Visconti , (born October 16, 1351 in Pavia, † September 3, 1402 in Melegnano ) the most powerful of the Visconti, became co-regent in Milan after the death of his father in 1378 and sole ruler of the Visconti rulers after his capture and assassination his uncle Bernabò 1385. He laid the foundation stone for the Cathedral of Milan , built the Certosa and the bridge over the Ticino in Pavia, promoted the University of Pavia, founded the library there and had the University of Piacenza restored. His administration was excellent, he was an able and economically minded ruler and was considered one of the richest princes of his time. He had the ambition to get all of Italy into his hands, conquered Verona in 1387 and Padua with the help of Venice the following year. He turned successfully against the rulers of Mantua and Ferrara, and then, when all of Lombardy belonged to him, against Tuscany . In 1399 he bought Pisa and confiscated Siena . The German King Wenceslaus (ruled 1376-1400) had given him the title of Duke of Milan in 1395 for a payment of 100,000 florins, appointed him Count of Pavia in 1395 and Duke of Lombardy in 1397, and on the other hand refused to fight against him to pull. Gian Galeazzo conquered Perugia , Assisi , Lucca and Bologna (1400–1401) and besieged Florence when he died of the plague on September 3, 1402 at the age of 55 . His sons Giovanni Maria and Filippo Maria were not yet grown up at the time and came under the protection of the Condottiere Facino Cane de Casale ; most of his conquests were lost to his selfish generals.

Filippo Maria Visconti and Giovanni Maria Visconti

Giovanni Maria Visconti (1388–1412) portrait on an engraving

Giovanni Maria Visconti was proclaimed Duke of Milan in 1402; he displayed insane cruelty and was murdered by Ghibelline partisans in 1412. Filippo Maria Visconti (* 1392), nominally Regent of Pavia since 1402, succeeded him as Duke. Cruel and extremely sensitive to his own ugliness, he was never a great politician, limiting himself to letting such powerful condottieri as Francesco Bussone da Carmagnola , Niccolò Piccinino and Francesco Sforza rule Lombardy. By marrying the unfortunate widow of the aforementioned Facino Cane, he received nearly half a million florins. He died in 1447 as the last Visconti in the male line; he was followed in the duchy, after the short-lived Ambrosian republic , in 1450 by Francesco I. Sforza , who in 1441 married his daughter Bianca Maria (* around 1424; † 1468) (see Sforza ).

More family members

  • Gabriele, an illegitimate brother of the last two dukes of Milan, took possession of Pisa and other cities, but was in 1407 by Charles VI. Governor of Genoa deposed and beheaded.
  • Sidelines of the Visconti are the Counts (Conte) of Saliceto and Zagnano, the Lords of Brignano, the Marquis (Marchese) of San Giorgio di Borgoratto, Invorio and della Motta. Other lines gained importance in the city history of Bari and Taranto .
