Teobaldo Visconti

Teobaldo Visconti (1230–1276) was a Milanese nobleman and soldier, son of Andreotto Visconti and nephew of Archbishop Ottone Visconti. His son was Matteo I, later called the Great, who became lord of Milan.

The Della Torre opposed Ottone's appointment as archbishop, and the families fought for Milan. After Napoleone della Torre exiled opposing noble families, they formed a coalition in Novara and Pavia. With their support, Teobaldo led an army and occupied Castelseprio, but was defeated near Gallarate; captured, he was beheaded there in 1276 on Napoleone's orders.
