Ramberto Malatesta

Ramberto Malatesta (died 28 January 1330) was the youngest son of Gianciotto Malatesta. In 1323 his cousin Uberto drew him into a plot to murder their uncle Pandolfo I; Ramberto pretended to join and killed Uberto at a banquet. At the family partition of 1326 he received no lands, while Malatesta III took Pesaro and Ferrantino Rimini.

He tried to seize his relatives at a banquet, but Polentesia, wife of Malatestino Novello, organised Rimini's defence. Driven from Rimini, he reconciled with Malatesta in January 1327, yet in 1328 persuaded his brother Guido to attack the city. On 28 January 1330 Malatestino Novello slew him at Poggio Berni castle.
