Guido I da Polenta

Guido I da Polenta (died 1310) was lord of Ravenna from 1275 until his abdication in 1297.

The son of Lamberto da Polenta, he was ousted from Ravenna by the imperial troops in 1240.

In 1270, after the death of Bishop Felix, he divided the power in the city and that of Comacchio with Guido Riccio da Polenta, in collaboration with the other major Ravennate family, the Traversari.

The marriage of his daughter Francesca with Giovanni Malatesta caused a revolt in the city, whose outcome was the expulsion of the Traversari.

In 1282 he took part to the offensive of the Pope against Guido da Montefeltro, and was able to gain Cervia in the fray.
