Fregnano della Scala
Fregnano della Scala (c. 1331–1354) was a natural son of Mastino II, the lord who in 1339 had been cut back to Verona and Vicenza; his half-brother Cangrande II now held Verona. Fregnano began as a soldier in 1350, sent to help the papal rector of Romagna against the Manfredi lords of Faenza.
In 1354, while Cangrande was away at Bolzano, he joined a revolt backed by the Gonzaga of Mantua, named Paolo Pico podestà and proclaimed himself lord. Cangrande rushed back and on 25 February fought him at the Ponte Navi, where Fregnano fell into the Adige. His body was fished out and hung for days in the Piazza delle Erbe with other rebels.
