Rengarda Malatesta

Rengarda Malatesta was the eldest daughter of Malatesta da Verucchio, founder of the Malatesta lordship of Rimini and the leading Guelph commander in Romagna; her mother was probably his first wife Concordia dei Pandolfini.

She married Francesco I Manfredi, later lord of Faenza, binding the two chief Guelph dynasties of Romagna together. Rengarda died before 1312, predeceasing her father, who died that year at the age of about a hundred.
