Marianus V of Arborea
Marianus V (1378 or 1379 – 1407) was the Judge of Arborea from 1387 until his death.
His surname was Doria, but since he belonged to the ruling house of Arborea he is often dynastically called Bas-Serra, or Doria-Bas.
Younger brother and successor of Frederick, he was a minor upon his succession and was under the tutelage of his mother Eleanor.
He was born at Castel Genovese (modern Castelsardo) between 1378 and 1379 to Eleanor and Brancaleone Doria, a Genoese nobleman.
In 1383, he was proclaimed judge along with his brother, Frederick of Arborea.
In 1387, his brother died under Aragonese captivity and Marianus became sole judge at a time when the Giudicato of Arborea was at war with the Crown of Aragon.
On 24 January 1388, Eleanor signed a pact with Aragon which brought peace and safeguarded Marianus' rule.
On 16 August 1391, Marianus accompanied his father at the occupation of Sassari and Osilo.
Marianus was 14 years old in 1392 when his mother promulgated the Carta de Logu
and he was declared of age.
He immediately reaffirmed the treaty with Aragon, but the real power at that time lay with Brancaleone.
Eleanor died in 1404.
He died of bubonic plague three years later without heirs, presenting a succession crisis.
Cleomenes II
Cleomenes II( died 309 BC) was Agiad King of Sparta from 369 to 309 BC.
The son of Cleombrotus I, he succeeded his brother Agesipolis II.
He was the father of Acrotatus I, the father of Areus I, and of Cleonymus, the father of Leonidas II.
Arthur Beauchamp
Arthur Beauchamp( 1827 – 28 April 1910) was a Member of Parliament from New Zealand.
He is remembered as the father of Harold Beauchamp, who rose to fame as chairman of the Bank of New Zealand and was the father of writer Katherine Mansfield.
Hugh II of Arborea
Hugh II was Giudice of Arborea, reigning from 1321 CE until his death in 1336 CE.
He was the illegitimate son of Marianus III of Arborea and Paulesa de Serra.
Hugh sided with James II of Aragon, who had been invested with the Kingdom of Sardinia and Corsica by Pope Boniface VIII in 1297.
He became vassal of James for Arborea and probably wanted to expand his control over the whole island, as governor on behalf of the Catalan Crown.
To this end, he assisted the future Alfonso IV in the conquest of 1323 – 1324, when the Republic of Pisa was expelled from the island.
After Alfonso's army disembarked at Palmas, Hugh joined him at the siege of Villa di Chiesa( modern Iglesias).
He was present, too, at the fall of Castel di Castro on June 1324.
Hugh II died of an unknown illness in 1336.
William II of Narbonne
William II was Viscount of Narbonne( 1397- 1424) and the nominal Judge of Arborea( 1407- 1420).
He was the grandson of Beatrice, youngest daughter of Marianus IV of Arborea and Timbra de Rocabertí, and Aimery VI of Narbonne( married 1363).
When Marianus V, the youngest son of Beatrice' elder sister Eleanor, died in 1407, Arborea experienced a succession crisis.
The late Beatrice had a claim to the judgeship which was picked up by her grandson, son of William I.
The real judge from 1407 was Leonardo Cubello, great nephew of Hugh II of Arborea.
On 6 October 1408, Martin I of Sicily disembarked at Cagliari with a strong army.
On 8 December, William also reached Cagliari.
He was crowned" King of Arborea, Count of Goceano, and Viscount of Bas" at Oristano on 13 January 1409.
The two forces, of Martin and of William, met at the Battle of Sanluri.
The Arborean troops of William, including many Genoese crossbowmen, broke into two battles.
The left battle was destroyed in a location called" occidroxiu"( the slaughterhouse).
The right battle was broken into two part, the first was being chased to Sanluri and eventually was routed there, and the other one was forced by William to take refuge in the castle of Monreale, in the nearby village of Sardara, and continued the resistant.
On 4 July, the Villa di Chiesa surrendered to Giovanni di Sena, which dealt a crippling blow to Arborea even though the Sicilian king had died on 25 July in Cagliari.
William returned to France to seek aid, leaving Leonardo Cubello in charge in his absence.
Leonardo successfully defended Oristano.
William returned to Sardinia in Spring 1410.
He reorganised his territories with his capital at Sassari.
With the help of Nicolò Doria, he recaptured Longosardo on 9 August.
He tried to take Oristano and Alghero, which were defended by Peter Torrelles, who died of malaria in 1411.
On 5 and 6 May 1412, he entered Alghero, but was driven off by the citizenry.
With the chances of victory turned out to be grim, William reluctantly surrendered and sold Arborea to Alfonso V on 17 August 1420 for 100,000 gold florins.
He was killed in 1424 in the Battle of Verneuil
John Templeton (botanist)
John Templeton( 1766–1825) was an early Irish naturalist and botanist.
He is often referred to as the" Father of Irish Botany".
He was the father of naturalist, artist and entomologist Robert Templeton.
Obata Toramori
He was the father of Obata Masamori.
Marianus I of Arborea
Marianus I, known as Mariano de Zori, was an early Judge of Arborea.
The exact date of his reign is unknown.
Francisco de Vico, followed by, placed it in 1000 – 20 without any documentary evidence.
Giovanni Francesco Fara, after analysing the documents, placed the reign of one unnamed judge earlier than that of Marianus, and dated his to around 1050.
A record of none of his acts has survived, and he is only important for standing at the head of Arborea's first dynasty, which took the name Lacon( or Laccon).
Brancaleone Doria
Brancaleone Doria was the husband of Eleanor of Arborea.
He was a scion of an influential family (the Doria) of the Republic of Genoa, the son of the elder Brancaleone and a woman named Giacomina.
On 16 March 1357, he became a vassal of Peter IV of Aragon, the nominal King of Sardinia, to legitimate the possessions of his father on the island.
When Hugh III of Arborea, Eleanor's brother, sought out a matrimonial alliance with Genoa, his choice for a brother-in-law fell on Brancaleone.
The marriage took place in 1376, a political alliance only, for the Bas-Serra family of Eleanor was opposed to the royal pretensions of the House of Barcelona, to which Brancaleone was affiliated.
Already at the time of his marriage, he had illegitimate children, Giannettino and Nicholas, by an anonymous woman.
When Hugh was assassinated in 1383, Eleanor and Brancaleone's young son Frederick succeeded to the Giudicato of Arborea.
At that time, Brancaleone was in Catalonia to receive the honorific title of "Count of Monteleone and Baron of Lower Marmilla.
" As soon as Peter IV heard of the election of Frederick, he arrested Brancaleone and sent him to Cagliari, to be imprisoned first in the tower of Pancrazio and then in that of Elefante.
Arborea was governed in the meantime by Eleanor.
Frederick, later seized and imprisoned by Peter himself, died young and in captivity.
He was succeeded by Brancaleone's second son, Marianus V. Brancaleone was finally liberated only on 1 January 1390.
His fidelity to the Aragonese crown was by then broken.
On 1 April 1391, Brancaleone marched on Castel di Cagliari and, on 16 August, occupied Sassari and Osilo with his son Marianus.
In September, he conquered the castles of Fava, Galtellì, Bonvehì, and Pedreso.
Only Alghero and Longosardo remained in Aragonese hands by then.
On 3 October, he entered Villa di Chiesa.
In a letter written at Sanluri on 3 February 1392, he announced having repossessed all the territories lost to the Aragonese in 1388.
On 16 March, a fleet under Martin of Aragon appeared off Capo San Marco, conducted from Sicily for the purpose of putting down Brancaleone's "rebellion."
The attempt failed.
Following Marianus' death, Arborea passed to William III of Narbonne.
Brancaleone retired to his estates at Monteleone.
He disappears from the record mysteriously before the Battle of Sanluri in 1409.
Comita II of Arborea
Comita II( or III)( died 1147) was the" giudice" of the Giudicato of Arborea, from 1131 until his death.
He was the son of Constantine I of Arborea, first ruler of Arborea of the Lacon dynasty.
Married Elena de Orrubu, mother of Barison II of Arborea.
The dating and chronology of his reign are obscure.
Comita succeeded his father Constantine I of Arborea.
The date of this succession is assumed to be 1131, when he first appears in a communication with the Republic of Genoa.
In 1130, Constantine, Gonario II of Torres, and Comita I of Gallura had sworn fealty to the archbishop of Pisa.
In 1133, Pope Innocent II raised Genoa to archiepiscopal status and divided the island of Sardinia between the two sees, giving the north to Genoa and the south to Pisa.
In the subsequent wars of that decade, Comita was the sole ally of the Genoese.
From 1133 to 1145, there is a gap in the testimony referring to Comita and it is possible that his brother Torbeno successfully usurped his throne during a war with the Giudicato of Logudoro.
In 1145, Comita was back in power and was excommunicated by Baldwin, Archbishop of Pisa.
The Pisan prelate, travelling the island as a papal legate, had excommunicated the judge for oppressing the people and warring against Pisa.
Bernard of Clairvaux even weighed into island politics and sent a letter to Pope Eugene III to justify Baldwin's actions.
Nominally Arborea was transferred to Logudoro.
Comita died soon after.
