	Cangrande I della Scala - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cangrande was born at Verona, the third son of Alberto I della Scala, ruler of Verona and Verde da Salizzole.
		Cangrande was again wounded, struck by an arrow in the thigh and had to ride desperately across country to the safety of his stronghold at Monselice which he eventually reached in a state of exhaustion with the arrow still sticking in his leg.
		Cangrande’s body was taken out of Treviso at nightfall and drawn on a bier to Verona where it was escorted by the nobles into the city preceded by twelve nights, one of whom wore Cangrande’s armour and carried his unsheathed sword.

		But Cangrande was bent on acquiring Padua, and Marsiglio, unable to resist, gave it over to him and was appointed its governor.
		Cangrande died in 1319, being succeeded by his nephew Martino, and Marsiglio soon began to meditate treachery; he negotiated with the Venetians in 1336, and in the following year he secretly introduced Venetian troops into Padua, arrested Alberto della Scala, Martino's brother, then in charge of the town, and thus regained the lordship.
		He died in 1338, and was succeeded by his relative Ubertino, a typical medieval tyrant, who earned an unenviable notoriety for his murders and acts of treachery, but was also a patron of the a.ts; he built the Palazzo dei Principi, the castle of Este, constructed a number of roads and canals, and protected commerce.

	History
		Can Francesco della Scala, or "Cangrande," as he was more commonly known, was the most illustrious member of the della Scala family dynasty which dominated Veronese politics from the mid-thirteenth through the end of the fourteenth century.
		Cangrande's charismatic reign in Verona began in 1311; with his frequent military campaigns, he added Vicenza (in 1314) and Padua (in 1318) to his domain.
		Cangrande della Scala is portrayed in the seventh tale of the first Day of the Decameron as a great and munificent lord - second only to Frederick II - wise enough to understand and accept a veiled reproach from one of his courtiers.

		The equestrian monument to Cangrande I della Scala, a symbolic work of this city in the Veneto, stands in the Museo del Castelvecchio in Verona.
		Originally located at Santa Maria Antica in Verona, on top of the tomb of this Della Scala lord (12 metres above the ground), it was transferred in 1909 to the Museo Civico in Palazzo Pompei, and then in 1926 to the Museo di Castelvecchio.
		The same sculptor was probably responsible for the equestrian statue placed on the tomb of Mastino II della Scala, between 1337 and 1351, when Mastino designed his mausoleum alongside the renewal of the tomb of his uncle and predecessor.

		The castle, an imposing civic building from the medieval Veronese period, was built between 1354 and 1356 by order of Cangrande II della Scala.

	Kelly: Dating the Accessus Section of the Pseudo-Dantean Epistle to Cangrande
		The Epistle to Cangrande is clearly divided by its final author into two main parts, the opening epistle and the concluding introduction to the Paradiso.
		The main reason for this last point is that Giuseppe Vandelli in 1901 presented conclusive evidence that Boccaccio, in one sentence of his Italian commentary, was drawing on the corresponding Latin sentence of the Accessus; that is, he demonstrated that the Italian must derive from the Latin, and not vice versa.
		Defenders of Dante's authorship of Cangrande, or defenders of the priority of Cangrande, have alleged this passage as proof that Guido must be drawing on Cangrande, since Guido would have had no reason to contrast one of the parts of the Comedy with the whole.

	Scaliger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Of his three sons, Cangrande I inherited the podestà position in 1308, only the last shared the government (1308) and made a name as warrior, prince and patron of Dante, Petrarch and Giotto.
		His son Cangrande II (1351-59) was a cruel and suspicious tyrant; not trusting his own subjects, he surrounded himself with German mercenaries but was killed by his brother Cansignorio (1359-75), who beautified Verona with palaces, provided it with aqueducts and bridges, and founded the state treasury.
