Camilla d'Aragona

Camilla Covella da Marzano or d'Aragona (fl.

She served as regent of the Lordship of Gradara during the minority of her stepson Giovanni Sforza from 19 July 1483 to October 1483.

She was the daughter of Giovanni Francesco Mariano (known as Marino) da Marzano, third duke of Sessa and prince of Rossano and his wife Eleonora Diana d’Aragona.

Eleonora had been born the illegitimate child of Alfonso V of Aragon, but had been legitimated later by her father.

Giovanni was then only aged 17 and so initially the lordship was ruled by Camilla as regent.
