Sambucuccio d'Alando

Sambucuccio d'Alando was a Corsican popular leader during the anti-feudal rising that broke out in 1357. An assembly of chiefs named him military commander, and the rebels razed the nobles' castles. Allied with Doge Simone Boccanegra, he helped bring Genoese rule to the island when a Corsican delegation made act of submission at Genoa in October 1358.

When the nobles counter-attacked, he secured Genoese aid and a governor, Tridano della Torre. After the popular camp split and Tridano was murdered in 1372, he again took arms and requested another governor, who arrived in 1373; after that year all trace of him disappears.
