Gaspare Grimaldi

Gaspare Grimaldi was a Genoese Guelph leader, son of Gabriele Grimaldi, lord of the castle of Stella. In 1296 he was expelled from Genoa by the Ghibelline captains and his goods confiscated, returning after the peace of 1302. In 1310 he helped defeat Opizzino Spinola at Sestri Ponente.

In 1317 he and Carlo Fieschi were elected captains of the people, ending decades of Ghibelline rule, and in 1318 they handed power to Robert of Anjou, from whom Gaspare received fiefs in the kingdom of Naples. He was still alive in 1331.
