- Simone Mestaguerra
Simone Mestaguerra or Mastaguerra was for a short time lord of
Forlì ,Italy , during the 13th century.In the chronicles of Forlì he is presented variously as a tyrant or a champion of freedom. Most likely, Mestaguerra profited from the internecine struggle between
Guelphs and Ghibellines to carve out his absolute power. The astronomerGuido Bonatti declared in his memories to have been on of his few opponents.According to
Leone Cobelli 's "Cronache", Mastaguerra was killed in 1257, his seigniory disappearing with him.
