Ugolino Novelli (XII century – 1248) was an Italian nobleman, soldier and politician who held the position of Capitano del Popolo of Ascoli Piceno. He was a Knight, Captain and General of the Holy Church as well as Decurion.
Life
Ugolino Novelli, the illegitimate son of Ranaglio Novelli,[1] a commander under Frederick I Hohenstaufen, was a prominent figure of the 13th century, known for his military and political service under Pope Innocent IV and for his role in the siege of Ascoli. His relocation to Ascoli marked the foundation of the Novelli Family branch of Ascoli Piceno.
Career and Service
Unlike his father, Ugolino Novelli served the Papal States, holding the position of Knight and General of the Papal States under Pope Innocent IV. His most significant contribution occurred during the siege of Ascoli in 1229. At that time, Ugolino also served as the Captain of the Patria of Ascoli. During the siege, the imperial forces led by Frederick II of Swabia and by Rinaldo, Duke of Spoleto, attempted to conquer the city. Ugolino, along with other citizens of Ascoli, valiantly defended the city. However, the lack of provisions led to Ascoli’s surrender, as happened to other cities in the March of Ancona.
Political Role and the Treaty of San Germano
After the siege, Ugolino returned to Ascoli thanks to the Treaty of San Germano, signed on July 20, 1230, according to some sources, and on July 23, 1230, according to others. This treaty, negotiated by Dominican Guala de Roniis, established a truce between Emperor Frederick II and Pope Gregory IX. Following the treaty, Ugolino was appointed Decurion of the Holy Church in Ascoli.
Battles and Death
Ugolino continued to serve in the conflicts of the time and was severely wounded in battle. He died in 1248 due to the injuries sustained during his military engagements, closing a career dedicated to the defense of the city and ecclesiastical interests.
