Prangarda of Canossa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prangarda of Canossa (died after 991), was a northern Italian noblewoman.
Children
Prangarda was a member of the House of Canossa. Her father was Adalbert Atto of Canossa, and her mother was Hildegard (who was probably a member of the Supponid dynasty).[1] Prangarda married Manfred I of Turin, perhaps after the siege of Canossa in 951, but more likely after 962.[2] In 991 Prangarda issued a charter, with Manfred's consent, in which she sold her share of the estate of Vilinianum in Parma.[3] It is clear from this charter that Prangarda's dowry included lands totalling at least one thousand iugera (roughly 650 acres) in Parma and Reggio.[4]
With Manfred, Prangarda had several children, including:[5]
- Ulric Manfred
- Alric
- Otto
- Atto
- Hugo
- Wido
