Corrado Gonzaga

Corrado Gonzaga was an Italian condottiero born in Mantua, the son of Luigi I Gonzaga, the city's first capitano del popolo, and Caterina Malatesta. His father cut him out of the succession to Mantua, which passed through his brother's line.

In 1340 he married Verde Beccaria, daughter of Lodrisio Beccaria, a noble of Pavia. Their son Filippino carried on his branch, and Corrado is counted the founder of the cadet Gonzaga line whose descendants became marquises of Palazzolo in 1595.
