Conrad Malaspina the Elder

Corrado Malaspina, called l'Antico (c. 1180–after 1254), was an Italian marquis, son of Obizzo II, and founder of the Malaspinas' Spino Secco branch. In 1198 he confirmed ceding the Grondola hills to Piacenza, then made treaties with Genoa and Milan.

In 1220 Emperor Frederick II confirmed Corrado's and his cousin Opizzo's rights and possessions; the next year they made the first great division of their lands. In 1226 he escorted Frederick across the Apennines.

In 1246 he briefly sided with Milan and Piacenza against the emperor. A patron of Provençal troubadours, he is last documented in 1254.
