Guglielmo II da Verona

Who is Guglielmo II da Verona?

Guglielmo II da Verona was a Lombard noble from the triarchy of Negroponte, considered by earlier historians as a triarch and a marshal of the principality of Achaea in Frankish Greece.

He was the second son of Guglielmo I da Verona, ruler of the southern third of Euboea.

According to earlier historians following K. Hopf, he succeeded to this position upon his father's death in 1263/6. He was also thought to have become Baron of Passavant and marshal in the Principality of Achaea from an hypothetical marriage to Margaret de Neuilly, because he was improperly called "marshal" in Sanudo's Istoria di Romania. These views have been challenged by R-J Loenertz from the 60's.

He married Catherine, a niece of William II of Villehardouin, with whom he had no known child.

Guglielmo was killed in the Battle of Demetrias, which took place either in 1273 or in 1275.
