The House of Obertenghi were a prominent Italian noble family of longobard origin descended from Viscount Adalbert III, first Margrave of Milan.
The family held the titles of Marquis of Milan and Genoa, Count of Luni, Tortona, Genoa and Milan and regent of the March that took the family's name in the 10th century, the "Marca Obertenga", which encompassed most of the territories of present-day Northwest Italy and parts of Switzerland.
The dynasty is the progenitor of the widely powerful and prestigious House of Este, as well the House of Welf, parent house of the Hanover dynasty.[3] Other cadet lines include the Malaspina and Pallavicini families.[4]
Origins
Early in 951, Berengar II of Italy finished the reorganisation of the Italian feudal structure begun by his predecessor Hugh. He named three new margraves to three new territories:
- Arduin Glaber was elevated from count to margrave of Turin (Torino, Ivrea, Maritime Alps, Nice, Ventimiglia, Sanremo); the Marca Arduinica or mark of the Arduinici.
- Aleramo, Marquis of Montferrat, he named margrave of Western Liguria (Vercelli, Monferrato, Ceva, Acqui Terme, Oneglia, Albenga); the Marca Aleramica or mark of the Aleramici.
- Oberto I[5][6] margrave of Milan and count of Luni (Milan and Eastern Liguria at this time contained the counties of Genoa, Luni, Tortona, Bobbio, Piacenza and Parma); the Marca Obertenga or mark of the Obertenghi.
