Cangrande II della Scala
Cangrande II della Scala (8 June 1332 – 14 December 1359) was Lord of Verona from 1351 until his death.
In 1351, after the death of his father Mastino II della Scala, he inherited the lordship of Verona and Vicenza, initially (until 1352) under the regency of his uncle Antonio.
In 1350 he married Elizabeth, daughter of Emperor Louis IV of Bavaria and Margaret II, Countess of Hainault.
Cangrande, nicknamed "Can RabbiosoRaging Dog") ruled Verona with iron fist, amassing rich treasures for his illegitimate sons and impoverishing the city.
This caused internal strifes which led the suspicious Cangrande to surround himself with Brandenburg mercenaries.
This did not prevent him being assassinated by his brother Cansignorio, who, with the help of the Carraresi of Padua, succeeded him.
Cangrande had a castle and a fortified bridge built in the town (see Castelvecchio and Castelvecchio Bridge) in order to grant him a safe place and a safe escape route towards Germany in the event of revolt against him in the city.
Among his children were:
Alberto II della Scala
Alberto II della Scala( 1306 – 13 September 1352) was lord of Verona from 1329 until his death.
He was a member of the famous Scaliger family of northern Italy.
He was the son of Alboino I della Scala and Beatrice da Correggio.
He co-ruled with his brother Mastino II until 1351.
He lost Padua in 1338 and Belluno and Feltre in 1339.
After his death in Verona in 1352, he was succeeded by Mastino's sons.

Mastino II della Scala
Mastino II della Scala (1308 – 3 June 1351) was lord of Verona.
He was a member of the famous Scaliger family of northern Italy.
He was the son of Alboino
I della Scala and Beatrice da Correggio.
At the death of Cangrande I, he and his brother Alberto II were associated in the rule of Verona.
Soon, however, Mastino's independent attitude overshadowed the brother's presence.
In the first part of his reign, abandoning the careful policy of balance held by his father, he conquered Brescia (1332), Parma (1335) in Lombardy and Lucca (1335) in Tuscany.
However, the extension of Mastino's power spurred the creation of League of all the other local powers (Florence, Siena, Bologna, Perugia and Venice).
In the first year of war he managed to resist, but in 1336 the League was joined by Azzone Visconti of Milan, the Este of Ferrara, the Gonzaga of Mantua and the Papal States.
Surrounded by every side, he could only ask for a treaty of peace through the intermediation of Emperor Louis IV of Bavaria, which he obtained in 1339.
His territories were restricted to Verona and Vicenza, the remaining part split among the victorious enemies.
An attempt to recover part of his lands with the German mercenaries that had remained in Vicenza after the war, led by Lodrisio Visconti, was unsuccessful.
He died in Verona in 1351.
He is buried in the Gothic mausoleum near the church of Santa Maria Antica, in one of the Scaliger Tombs.
