Brancaleone Doria the Elder
Brancaleone Doria was a Genoese nobleman, the son of Bernabò Doria and Eleonora Fieschi and grandson of Branca Doria. In 1305 his father emancipated him and arranged his marriage to Isotta Malaspina, reuniting the two halves of the Apennine lordship of Molare, whose castle was made over to him.
Isotta died in 1310. He later pursued the family's interests in Sicily and Sardinia, marrying the heiress Costanza Chiaramonte, and in 1335 was appointed governor of Sardinia.
