Vincenzo II Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua
- Vincenzo II Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua
Vincenzo II Gonzaga (January 7 1594 - December 25 1627) was Duke of Mantua and Marquess of Montferrat from 1626 until his death.
He was the son of Duke Vincenzo I and Eleonora de' Medici inherited the duchy at the death of his elder brother Ferdinando, receiving the imperial investiture on February 8 1627. He had also received the cardinal title from Ferdinando when the latter had ascended to the throne, but had dismissed it in 1616 to marry his relative Isabella Gonzaga of Novellara.
Conscious of his unstable health, the childless Vincenzo set up a descendance for his lands through the marriage of his niece Maria (daughter of former Duke Francesco IV) with Charles of Nevers, cousin of his father.
Vincenzo died on the day itself of the marriage between Maria and Charles.
