Amaury VII of Narbonne

Amaury VII (also spelled Aimeric, Italian: "Amerigo di Narbona"; c. 1230 – c. 1300) was the Viscount of Narbonne, an Italian "condottiero" and captain. Amaury first entered Italy in the service of Charles I of Anjou, who had been granted the Sicilian crown by Pope Clement IV in 1265.

By 1289, Amaury had so distinguished himself that he was put in command of the Guelph troops massed to attack the Ghibellines of Arezzo. During that campaign, the two armies met at the Battle of Campaldino and Amaury won the victory on which his reputation rests. He conquered most of the Aretine countryside, taking many castles by storm, from Rondine to the gates of Arezzo itself. This, however, he failed to take by siege, as the Aretines made several valiant sorties which successfully destroyed his siege engines. The campaign was nevertheless a success and Amaury was received triumphantly upon his return to Florence.

Amaury married Joanna, daughter of Jordan IV of L'Isle-Jourdain.

As an aside, the Italian form of his name became popular in Tuscany for centuries after his success at Campoldino and it was via a Tuscan named Amerigo Vespucci that two continents — the Americas — received their names.
