Correggio Family, Italian feudal familywho were lords of Correggio, near Reggio Emilia, from the 11th to the 17th century. During the 13th century, as leaders of the Guelfs, they came to dominate the politics of Parma; and in 1303 Ghiberto da Correggio was acclaimed lord of the city, which he ruled until 1316. In 1341 his son Azzo, a friend of Petrarch, who dedicated to him the De remediis utriusque fortunae, recovered control of Parma, only to sell it again three years later to the Este family of Ferrara. Correggio itself, however, remained independent, being raised to the rank of countship in 1452 and to that of principality in 1616. Shortly afterward, in 1630, Siro da Correggio was condemned by the Holy Roman emperor Ferdinand II to pay a heavy fine for minting bad coin; unable to raise the sum he was forced to cede Correggio to the Este of Modena in 1634. The family came to an end with the death of Camillo in 1711.  From Encyclopedia  Britannica

Beatrice

She was the daughter of Giberto III da Correggio, lord of Correggioand Elena Malaspina.

Very young she was promised in marriage to Jacopo Rossi of Parma, but refused the marriage because of the ascent of her father Giberto III to podestàof Parma.

Gilberto III

 

Neither the date nor the exact birthplace of Giberto III is known, the son of Guido II da Correggioand Mabilia della Gente, entered the political-military scene in the year 1303, when he succeeded in making peace between several families of Parmaperpetually fighting among them, and to recall to the city those who had been expelled or had fled, with the exception of the Reds.

On that occasion he was acclaimed by the people and elected Lord and defender of the city with the title of ‘The Defender’.

During his regency, he obtained the castles of Campagnolaand Fabbricofor his house, thanks to the repeated military successes on the rival families of the Reds and the Este, and to a shrewd marriage policy.Always engaged in local wars, Giberto alternated in support of both the Guelphs and the Ghibellines, near the Emperor Henry VII of Luxembourgduring the Milanceremony of 1311, an ally of the Guelphs in peace negotiations with few Empire supporters years later.After having established peace with Guglielmo de ‘Rossiin 1314, marrying his daughter Maddalena, he was overwhelmed by a local revolt in 1316, headed by both enemy historians such as Rolando de’ Rossi, son of Guglielmo, and by some of his family, in Parma years before he had proclaimed him defender, which forced him to take refuge in the family fiefdom of Castelnovo di Sotto, where he died ten years later.
