Giberto III da Correggio

Giberto III da Correggio, called ‘Il Difensore’, was an Italian noble, son of Guido II da Correggio. In 1303 he reconciled Parma's feuding families and recalled its exiles, except the Rossi, and the people acclaimed him lord and defender of the city.

Victories over the Rossi and Este won him the castles of Campagnola and Fabbrico. He attended Emperor Henry VII at Milan in 1311 but later joined the Guelphs, and in 1314 he made peace with the Rossi and married their daughter Maddalena.

In 1316 a revolt led by the Rossi and some of Giberto's relatives drove him from Parma. He died at Castelnovo di Sotto in 1326.
