Arrigo della Rocca

Arrigo della Rocca (c. 1340–1401) was a Corsican noble of the Cinarchesi clan Banda dei Fuori. As a boy his father gave him to the Genoese as a hostage.

After fighting in Sambucuccio d'Alando's revolt he broke with Genoa and took refuge at the court of Aragon. He returned in 1373 with Aragonese backing, defeated the Genoese governor in 1375, and in 1376 was proclaimed count of Corsica under the Aragonese flag.

In 1393 the king of Aragon appointed him lieutenant in Corsica. He mastered the island for years, but died in June 1401, possibly poisoned by the Genoese.
