From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Guido III da Polenta (died 1389) was a lord of Ravenna of the da Polenta family.

He held peacefully the city's government for 30 years after the death of his father, Bernardino I. Guido married Elisa d'Este, daughter of Obizzo III d'Este of Ferrara, who gave him numerous children. Most of the daughters went married to other lords of Romagna and northern Italy.

In 1389 he was imprisoned by his sons Bernardino, Ostasio, Obizzo, Aldobrandino, Azzo and Pietro, and died in jail.
