Albert Pallavicini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albert Pallavicini (Italian: Alberto) was the fifth margrave of Bodonitsa from his father's death until his own in 1311. His father was Thomas, a great nephew of the first margrave Guy. Albert married Maria della Carceri, a Venetian noblewoman from Euboea. He even obtained a sixth of that island with the official title of hexarch.
He was a loyal vassal of the princes of Achaea. In 1305, he was summoned by his lord Philip of Savoy to a tournament and parliament on the Isthmus of Corinth. In 1307, he obeyed the similar summons of Philip I of Taranto. On 15 March 1311, he followed Walter V of Brienne into the Battle of the Cephissus, but did not emerge alive. By the Book of the Customs of the Empire of Romania, his fief was inherited by his widow and his daughter, Guglielma.
