- Athen family
The Athen family was a noble family of
Sardinia during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. It first appeared during the reign of Gonario I and was most prominent in theGiudicato of Logudoro .In
1128 , members of the Athen family, perhaps seeking to usurp the throne or perhaps just the regency, made an attempt to harm the youngGonario II of Logudoro . His regent,Ittocorre Gambella , quickly whisked him away from the palace and brought him to safety first atPorto Torres and second atPisa . From this point on, the great families, like the Athen, fade into view to be replaced by the "Repubbliche Marinare " of northern Italy (Genoa and Pisa) in the power politics of Logudoro.ources
