10. ENZIO [Enrico] ([1215]-in jail Bologna 11 Mar 1272, bur Bologna San Domenico). His paternity is established by Matthew Paris who calls him "Ensius rex Sardiniæ filius scilicet Fretherici" when recording that he captured 200 soldiers from Parma during the campaign of 1249, and in a later passage calls him "Ensius filius Fretherici naturalis rex Sardiniæ"[719]. The Thomas Tusci Gesta Imperatorum et Pontificum names "Hentius filius Frederici…ex matre infami et ignobili"[720]. Judge of Torres, by right of his wife. He was legitimated in Jul 1239. His father appointed him King of Corsica and Sardinia 1239-49/72, and Vicar General for Italy, which triggered war with the papacy. The Ryccardus de Sancti Germano Chronica record that "Henricus rex Gallure naturalis filius imperatoris" came to "marchiam Anconitanam" in 1239[721]. Enzio captured the March of Ancona and the duchy of Spoleto, until then part of the Papal territories. William of Tyre (Continuator) records that he was captured in [1239] at the castle of Gorgonzola but soon rescued by "li Aleman"[722], although it is not clear to whom this refers. Suspending his campaign in Italy, he led his troops to Pomerania to fight the Mongol invaders, but was defeated at Wahlstadt near Liegnitz 9 Apr 1241. Returning to Italy, he besieged Rome in Aug 1241, the siege being lifted on the death of Pope Gregory IX. Giovanni di Musso´s Chronicon Placentinum records that "Rex Encius filius naturalis Frederici imperatoris" entered "episcopatum Placentiæ" in 1242 and destroyed "Potentianum et multa alia loca", and in 1245 destroyed "Hospitale S. Spiritus"[723]. He was captured [at Fossalta] between Bologna and Cremona in May 1249 by Bolognese troops[724]. After his father's death, there was an attempt to have him released in exchange for the release of the son of the Marchese di Monferrato[725]. While in prison, he composed poems. 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, “dominum Corradum de Antiochia...nepotem nostrum” as his heir “in comitatu de Mollesio”, bequeathed property to “dominam nostram Catharinam de Marrano...sororem nostram...domini Federigi Romanorum imperatoris filiam”, and provided that the king of Castile should arrange the marriages of “Magdalenam et Costantiam filias nostras”[726]. The Alberti Milioli Notarii Regini Liber de Temporibus records the death "1272 14 Marcii" of "rex Hençus filius condam Friderici imperatoris" while in jail in Bologna and his burial "ad ecclesiam fratrum Predicatorum"[727].
