Ramberto Malatesta

But Uberto da Giaggolo was the son of the Paolo Maletesta, who was murdered by Ramberto's father in a bout of jealousy back in 1285.

In July 1326, shortly after the succession, Ramberto arranged for another banquet at his home in Rimini, inviting his cousins and their families.

Alas, Malatesta II himself was unable to attend, foiling Ramberto's plans for what was likely to be a family mass murder.

But Polentisana da Polenta, wife of Ferrantino's son Malatestino Novello, rallied the people of Rimini and appealed to her own Polentani family, in an effort to release her husband from Ramberto's clutches.

But the very next year, Ramberto and his brother the Archpriest Guido conspired with the exiled Parcitadi family, long-time enemies of the Malatesta, in an assault on Rimini.
