Manfred II Of Saluzzo
Manfred II (1140–1215) was the second marquess of Saluzzo from his father's death in 1175 to his own. He was the son of Manfred I and Eleanor. He placed the capital of the margravate definitively in Saluzzo. He married Azalaïs of Montferrat before 1182, forming an alliance with one of the most powerful dynasties in northern Italy. Manfred expanded the march and fought against the expansionism of the neighbouring counts of Savoy. After several minor skirmishes, the two principalities came to terms in 1213 and peace was established for the final two years of his life. Since his eldest son Boniface had predeceased him in 1212, he was succeeded by his grandson, Manfred III, under the regency of Azalaïs. She had to pay tribute on behalf of young Manfred, and for the next century, Saluzzo was a vassal of Savoy. Family Manfred and Azalais had: * Agnes, married Comita III of Torres * Boniface (the heir, who predeceased his father), married Maria di Torres, daughter of aforementioned ...

Manfred I Of Saluzzo
Manfred I (died 1175) was the founder and first ruler of the marquisate of Saluzzo from 1142 until his death. Manfred was the eldest of seven sons of Bonifacio del Vasto, the ruler of scattered holdings between Savona and the Tanaro. He is first recorded in a document of 1123. After Bonifacio's death in 1125, his lands were ruled jointly by the brothers, but in 1142 they divided them up. Manfred took most of the lands between the Alps, the Po and the Stura. His new lordship was larger than his brother's and better positioned to become a true principality. It only came to be known as the marquisate of Saluzzo after his death. In his own life he used the title of marquis without a territorial designation, or else "marquis of Vasto" (Latin ''marchio de Vasto'').Armando Tallone''Regesto dei marchesi di Saluzzo (1091–1340)''(Pinerolo, 1906), nos. 37, 40, 44, 51. He made his the strategically important castle of Saluzzo in the centre of his domain his seat.

The main titles associated with this branch of the Ceva family are Marchese di Pietracatella and Duca di Telese. Ceva family The Ceva family is a descendant branch of the Aleramici dynasty founded by William of Montferrat in the 10th century named for his son Aleramo. By the early 12th century, the family had vast landholdings in Piedmont and northern Liguria, including the town of Ceva and its surrounding area. On the death of Bonifacio del Vasto c. 1125, his son Anselmo received the newly-created Marquisate of Ceva.

1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by  2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following  0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is the s ...
