From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pandolfo I Malatesta (c. 12676 April 1326) was an Italian condottiero.

In 1304, at the death of Pope Boniface VIII, he captured Pesaro, Fano, Senigallia and Fossombrone, which he lost and recovered in the following years. In 1317 he became lord of Rimini at the death of his brother, Malatestino dell'Occhio. In 1321 he was capitano generale (supreme commander) of the Papal States against the Ghibellines and the Montefeltro of Urbino.
