Thomas I of Saluzzo

Thomas I of Saluzzo

Thomas I (d. 1296) was the fourth margrave of Saluzzo from 1244 to his death. He succeeded his father Manfred III.

Under the reign of Thomas, Saluzzo blossomed, achieving a greatness which had eluded his ancestors. He crafted a state whose borders remained unchanged for over two centuries. He extended the march to include Carmagnola. He was often at odds with Asti and he was a prime enemy of the Charles of Anjou and his Italian pretensions. During his tenure, he made Saluzzo a free city, giving it a" podestà "to govern in his name. He defended his castles and "roccaforti" (strongholds) vigorously and built many new ones in the cities. He was succeeded by his son Manfred.
