Carlo Fieschi
Carlo Fieschi (c. 1269–after 1329) was a Genoese Guelph statesman of the counts of Lavagna, son of Nicolò Fieschi and Leonora and a counselor of Charles I of Anjou. In 1311 he attended Emperor Henry VII in Genoa and received imperial confirmation of Pontremoli with his brothers. From 1314 to 1319 he fought Franceschino Malaspina of Mulazzo.
In December 1317, with Gaspare Grimaldi, he took power in Genoa as capitano del popolo, placing the republic under Pope John XXII and Robert of Naples and forcing the Ghibelline exiles to surrender in February 1319.
