Prangarda of Canossa

Prangarda of Canossa (d. after 991), was a northern Italian noblewoman.

Life

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]

Children

With Manfred, Prangarda had several children, including:[5]

gollark: They'll keep making Exynos CPUs but with generic ARM cores.
gollark: There are no more *custom cores* from Samsung.
gollark: Sounds it.
gollark: They randomly break. Cartridges cost more than printers. The drivers are awful. There are security holes on all the networked ones. The error messages are generally useless. Paper jams are frequent.
gollark: Printers are the enemy.
