Guglielmo I Malaspina

Guglielmo I Malaspina was a Lombard marquis, son of Moroello I Malaspina and a lady of the Roman Frangipane family. In 1200 he allied with Milan and Piacenza in their war against Parma and Pavia.

Like his uncle Alberto, he kept his court open to troubadours, and the troubadour Aimeric de Peguilhan sang his liberality; when he died in 1220 Aimeric composed a planh, or lament, in his memory. His son Opizzino succeeded him.
