Obizzo II d'Este, Marquis of Ferrara

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Obizzo II d''Este (b. ca. 1247 d. 13 February 1293) was Marquis of Ferrara and the March of Ancona. He was a bastard, the fruit of an illegitimate relation of Rinaldo I d''Este -the only son and heir of the Margrave Azzo VII d''Este- with a napolitan laundress. Soon after his birth, Obizzo was expelled from Ferrara with his mother and settled in Ravenna. For his condition, Obizzo was destined to an obscure future; nevertheless, this situation changed in 1251: his father Rinaldo, a hostage of the Emperor Frederick I since 1238, was poisoned with his barren wife, Adelaida da Romano. Without any other sons to continue his line, the Margrave Azzo VII saw in Obizzo the only chance of survival of the House of Este and fought for his recognition as his heir. Obizzo was legitimated by the Pope in 1252, shortly after his mother was drowned in the Adriatic.
