Saltaro was the
Judge of Gallura, located on the northeastern section of Sardinia, but the dates of his reign are unknown, as are his familial ties.
He made a donation of
Vitithe to the
Church of Pisa which was confirmed in 1116 by
Ittocorre. The charter calls him ''encus mortuus est, idest sine haeredibus'' ("already dead, without heirs"). He may have been a son and successor of
Constantine I
Constantine I ( , ; la, Flavius Valerius Constantinus, ; ; 27 February 22 May 337), also known as Constantine the Great, was Roman emperor from AD 306 to 337, the first one to convert to Christianity. Born in Naissus, Dacia Mediterranea ...
and predecessor of
Torchitorio.
[Manno, 306 n776.] He may have belonged to the
Lacon,
Thori, or
Gherardeschi families. Some sources make him a son of Torchitorio and place his reign in the early twelfth century immediately before Ittocorre's. However, it is more likely that he ruled before or after
Manfred and
Baldo in the early eleventh century.
