Federico Gonzaga

Federico Gonzaga (died c. 1376) was a Mantuan condottiero, a son of Luigi I Gonzaga, the city's first capitano del popolo, and Caterina Malatesta of Rimini. In 1354 he joined the conspiracy that Fregnano della Scala raised against Cangrande della Scala, lord of Verona.

In 1376 he plotted again, this time against his own nephew Ludovico II Gonzaga of Mantua, together with Odoardo and Guglielmo Gonzaga. The courtier Guido Cavriani uncovered the scheme; Federico was condemned to death but escaped, dying around the same year.
