- Marquess of SaluzzoManfred II (1140 1215) was the second margrave of Saluzzo from his father's death in 1175 to his own. He was the son of Manfred I and Eleanor. He placed the capital of the margravate definitively in Saluzzo.
He expanded the march and fought against the expansionism of the neighbouring counts of Savoy. After several minor skirmished, the two principalities came to terms in 1213 and peace was established for the final two years of his life. However, on his death, his widow, Alaisia of Montferrat, had to pay tribute on behalf of her son and for the next century, Saluzzo was a vassal of Savoy. He was succeeded by his eponymous son, Manfred III. (Wikipedia)
