Francesco II Ordelaffi

Francesco II Ordelaffi (c. 1310–1374), called the Great, was Ghibelline lord of Forlì from 1331. Driven out by a papal army in 1332, he re-established his rule the next year and gained Cesena.

In 1337 he imprisoned the archbishop of Ravenna and was excommunicated, yet the pope then made him papal vicar for an annual payment. To escape the tribute he sided with Emperor Louis IV as imperial vicar. His refusal to submit later brought on Cardinal Albornoz and a crusade preached against him in 1355–1356.

Cesena fell despite the resistance of his wife Cia and son Ludovico, and Forlì fell in July 1359, leaving him only Forlimpopoli and Castrocaro. He died in Venice in 1374; his son Sinibaldo succeeded him.
