Ezzelino Romano
Edit ProfileCareer
On 24 April 1198 Pope Innocent III asked Pellegrinus II, Patriarch of Aquileia, to resolve the matter and to raise the excommunication which Ezzelino had received from the patriarch of Grado. In 1191-1193 Ezzelino was podestà of Treviso, and later of Verona (1200) and Vicenza (1211). In 1199 his castle at Onara was destroyed by the Paduans after Ezzelino had signed a separate peace with Vicenza.
He therefore moved the family residence to Romano,by which name his family would be known in the following decades.
In 1212 Ezzelino II clashed near Verona with the troops of the Lombard League. The latter was defeated and its commander, Azzo VI d"Este, perished.
In 1213 he fought with Padua against the Estensi and, the following year, against the Venetians. He died in the monastery of Campese in 1235.
