Andrew Of Torres
Andrew Tanca was an obscure Judge of Logudoro in the mid-eleventh century. He may have reigned alongside his supposed father Barisone I between about 1064/1065 and 1073 or so. He was probably the father (alternatively, uncle or brother) of his probable successor, Marianus I. Little else is known for certain about him, but he was probably a donor to the Abbey of Montecassino. Sources *Manno, Giuseppe (1835). Storia di Sardegna'. P.M. Visaj.

Judge Of Logudoro
The kings or ''judges'' (''iudices'' or ''judikes'') of Logudoro (or Torres) were the local rulers of the ''locum de Torres'' or region (province) around Porto Torres, the chief northern port of Sardinia, during the Middle Ages. :''The identity, number, relationships, and chronology of the kings up until about 1112 are poorly sourced and highly disputed among historians of the period.'' * Gonario I (c. 1015 – c. 1038) * Comita II (c. 1038 – c. 1060) * Barisone I (c. 1060 – c. 1073) * Andrew Tanca (c. 1064 – c. 1073) * Marianus I (to c. 1082) *Constantine I (c. 1082 – c. 1127) * Gonario II (c. 1127 – 1153) ** Saltaro (1127), pretender **Ittocorre Gambella (1127 – 1140), regent *Barisone II (1153 – 1186) * Constantine II (1186 – 1198) * Comita III (1198 – 1218) * Marianus II (1218 – 1233) * Barisone III (1233 – 1236) * Adelasia (1236 – 1259) ** Ubaldo (1236 – 1238), husband ** Enzio (1238 – 127 ...

Barisone I Of Torres
Barison I or Barisone I was the ''judge'' of Arborea from around 1038 until about 1060 and then of Logudoro until his death sometime around 1073. He is the first ruler of Logudoro of whom we have any real knowledge. His whole policy was opposition to the Republic of Pisa and support of monastic immigration from mainland Italy. His wife was Preziosa de Orrubu. On hearing of the death of the judge of Logudoro around 1060, Barison gave Arborea to his nephew (or son) Marianus and went to Porto Torres to receive the vacant judgeship. In 1063, Barisone gave a gift of a large territory and two churches, including the Byzantine church of Nostra Segnora de Mesumundu and that of Sant'Elia di Montesanto, to the abbey of Montecassino and asked the abbot Desiderius of Benevento to send twelve monksA.

Marianus I Of Torres
Marianus I (died after 18 March 1082) was the Judge of Logudoro from 1073, when he is first mentioned after his father or grandfather, Barisone I, until about 1082, when he is last mentioned. His reign is obscure and the next judge mentioned is his son Constantine I in 1112, but to ascribe to Marianus a 39-year reign seems unnecessary and the presence of unknown other judges between Marianus and Constantine is likely. In 1147, Marianus' grandson, Gonario II, made a donation of silver to the Abbey of Montecassino, citing his father and his grandfather as prior donors. Perhaps this Marianus was a different one from the one who received a letter from Pope Gregory VII in 1073. Similarly, the ''Cronaca sarda'' makes Marianus the son of Andrew Tanca. The exact identity and relationships of this judge remain a matter of dispute. Not only did Marianus make a donation to Montecassino, but he benefited the local churches as well and paid an annual sum to the papacy. He was an ally of the ...

Abbey Of Montecassino
An abbey is a type of monastery used by members of a religious order under the governance of an abbot or abbess. Abbeys provide a complex of buildings and land for religious activities, work, and housing of Christian monks and nuns. The concept of the abbey has developed over many centuries from the early monastic ways of religious men and women where they would live isolated from the lay community about them. Religious life in an abbey may be monastic. An abbey may be the home of an enclosed religious order or may be open to visitors. The layout of the church and associated buildings of an abbey often follows a set plan determined by the founding religious order. Abbeys are often self-sufficient while using any abundance of produce or skill to provide care to the poor and needy, refuge to the persecuted, or education to the young. Some abbeys offer accommodation to people who are seeking spiritual retreat. There are many famous abbeys across the Mediterranean Basin and Europe ...
