Manfred V of Saluzzo

Manfred V (1309–1392), son of Manfred IV of Saluzzo and his second wife Isabella Doria, was made his father's heir over his elder half-brother Frederick through her influence.

Civil war with Frederick began in 1330 and ended in 1332, when Manfred ceded the throne by the treaty of 29 July. When Frederick died in 1336, he saw a second chance and led an army of Angevin troops against his young nephew Thomas II. Saluzzo, besieged for a week in April 1341, surrendered, and Manfred let it be sacked: the city was set ablaze and its castle destroyed.

He held it only until 1342, when Visconti pressure forced him to hand it back to Thomas. He died in Pavia in 1392.
