Manfred IV of Saluzzo

Manfred IV (died 1330) was the fifth marquess of Saluzzo from 1296, the son of Thomas I[1] and Luisa of Ceva.

Manfred forced the commune of Saluzzo (granted it by his father) to sign a contract regulating the relations between the city, its podestà, and the marquess.

Manfred also continued his father's extension of the margravial territory, mostly through annexations of land and castles.

[2] In 1322, in return for reorganising the debts of the Del Carretto family, he obtained the castles of Cairo Montenotte, Rocchetta[a] and Cortemilia.

This precipitated a civil war after his death in 1330 that lasted until 29 July 1332, when the throne was ceded to Frederick.
