Cante dei Gabrielli di Gubbio
Cante dei Gabrielli di Gubbio (c. 1260–c. 1335) was an Italian condottiero from a leading Guelph family of Gubbio. Driven out by the Ghibellines in 1300, he returned among men disguised as pilgrims during the feast of St John and took control of the city, becoming its de facto lord.
Entering Florence with Charles of Valois in 1301, he became podestà and in 1302 sentenced Dante Alighieri to lifelong exile. He served repeatedly as podestà of Florence, Siena and other cities.
In 1317 Pope John XXII made him captain general of the Guelph League. He took Assisi in 1321 and later Urbino, and died in Gubbio around 1335.
