- Ubertino Pallavicini
Ubertino or Umbertino Pallavicini (died 1278) was the son and successor of Guy as
Margrave of Bodonitsa in 1237.Despite the fact that, since the fall of the
Kingdom of Thessalonica in 1224, Bodonitsa was a vassal of thePrincipality of Achaea , Ubertino assisted his cousin Guy de la Roche,Duke of Athens , in war against he prince of Achaea, William of Villehardouin. He was present at theBattle of Karydi in 1258 and retreated with the duke back to Thebes. In 1259, however, he joined the prince and theDespot of Epirus , Michael II, against theEmperor of Nicaea ,John IV Lascaris . They were defeated on the plain ofPelagonia . In 1263, Ubertino was again at the side of his liege lord making war on theDespotate of Morea .During Ubertino's reign, much of the
Euboea was lost to the Greeks and pirates in theAtalante prevented food supplies from reaching his people and castles. In 1264, by the will of his deceased sister Mabilia, he received land nearParma which had been the property of his brother-in-lawAzzo VII of Este . His youngest sister Isabella inherited the margraviate from him on his death in 1278.ources
