Antonio II da Montefeltro

Antonio II da Montefeltro (1348–1404) was an Italian condottiero and count of Urbino.

Born at Urbino, he was a grandson to count Nolfo da Montefeltro and the son to Federico II da Montefeltro. He occupied Urbino in 1375 and also owned Cagli. He allied himself with Florence and the Visconti Family in Milan.[1] After Gabrielli of Gubbio unsuccessfully plotted against him, he obtained the lordship of that city, being confirmed as its Papal vicar by Benedict IX.

In 1391, while warring against the Malatesta, Antonio captured the castle of Sassoferrato and Cantiano. He had his son Guidantonio married with Ringarda Malatesta and her daughter Gentile to the lord of Faenza. He died in 1404, after fleeing Urbino during a plague.

Antonio's daughter Battista married Galeazzo Malatesta in 1405.

gollark: Yes. I have successfully made hundreds of "networking cables" and "cables" from iron nuggets/stone and redstone.
gollark: The thing is that unless you have a perfectly straight run light would still need to bounce off the walls of it (which would need to be very very good mirrors, which is very hard).
gollark: No.
gollark: I guess just solid walls for the interior bit of the cable.
