  Enzio & his [first/second] wife had [two] children:

a) ELENA (-[before 16 Mar 1272]). The testament of “Henricus...rex Sardinie”, dated 16 Mar 1272, appointed “Henrico et Ugolino nepotibus...ex...filia nostra Helena et viro...Guelfo de Donoratico genero nostro natos” as his heirs, specifically in “regno nostro Sardinie”[731]. The appointment of her sons as heirs to Sardinia suggests that their mother must have been the testator´s daughter by his first marriage. However, Fara (writing in 1579) states that Adelasia di Torres died childless and bequeathed Torres to Pope Gregory IX by her testament[732].
m GUELFO Gherardesca Conte di Donoratico, son of UGOLINO Conte di Donoratico & his wife --- (-1295).

   Enzio had [one illegitimate child by FRASCA, daughter of ---]:

c) [ELENA . The testament of “Henricus...rex Sardinie”, dated 16 Mar 1272, bequeathed property to “Helenam filiam Frescam” and requesting “Henrico et Ugoilino nostris heredibus” to make the payment[733]. The document does not specify that Elena was the testator´s daughter. Assuming that she was Enzio´s daughter, the testament suggests that she was not the same daughter Elena who was the mother of his heirs Enzio and Ugolino.]
