Mastino II della Scala

Mastino II della Scala (1308–1351), son of Alboino I and Beatrice da Correggio, ruled Verona jointly with his brother Alberto II after Cangrande I died in 1329, but held the real power. He gave up his father's cautious balancing for conquest: he fought John of Bohemia in 1332, took Brescia that year, and won Parma and Lucca in 1335.

Florence, Venice and other cities formed a league against him, and by 1337 Milan under the Visconti and the Papal States had joined it. In 1338 he stabbed his cousin Bartolomeo, bishop of Verona.

In 1339 the mercenaries he backed against Milan lost at Parabiago, and Emperor Louis IV mediated a peace that left him only Verona and Vicenza. He died in Verona on 3 June 1351 and lies in the Scaliger Tombs by Santa Maria Antica.
