Thomas Pallavicini

Thomas Pallavicini was marquess of Bodonitsa and founder of its second ruling line, a grandson of Rubino, younger brother of the first margrave. When his kinswoman Marchioness Isabella died childless in 1286, Thomas claimed the marquisate against her widower.

While the feudal court of Achaea delayed its verdict, Thomas seized the castle of Bodonitsa and installed himself. He ruled unchallenged and passed the march to his son Albert.
