Trinci

The Trinci were a noble family from central Italy, who were lords of Foligno, in Umbria, from 1305 to 1439.

Corrado (I) and Trincia I Trinci held the title of podestà or vicar of Foligno in the late 13th century.

In 1305 the Trinci, after returning to the Guelphs, became lords of Foligno by expelling the Ghibelline Anastasi thanks to the support of nobles from Spoleto and Perugia.

The first official recognition came in 1367, when Pope Urban V named Ugolino's son, Trincia II Trinci, as apostolic vicar.

His brother Corrado II ruled Foligno until 1388, followed by his son Ugolino III, who was a friend of the condottiero Braccio Fortebraccio.
