Francesco d'Este

Francesco d'Este (died 23 August 1312) was a son of Obizzo II d'Este and founder of the Este cadet branch of the Marchesi d'Este. He helped his brother Azzo VIII rule Ferrara, but in 1305 opposed Azzo's Angevin marriage over its implications for the succession, and in 1306 joined a Modena–Reggio league against him.

In 1308 he appealed to Pope Clement V when his nephew Fresco held Ferrara. Siding with the papacy against Emperor Henry VII, he was killed at Ferrara's gates on 23 August 1312 by followers of the King of Naples.
