Who married Cansignorio della Scala?

Cansignorio della Scala, (5 mars 1340 – 19 octobre 1375) est un homme politique italien du XIV^e siècle, membre de la dynastie scaligère.

Fils de Mastino II, il hérite des seigneuries de Vérone et de Vicence à la mort de son père, en même temps que ses frères Cangrande II et Paolo Alboino. Cansignorio étant alors un enfant et Paolo Alboino un bambin, Cangrande prend les rênes du pouvoir et en écarte ses frères. Cansignorio l'assassine, de sa propre main, le 14 décembre 1359, et prend le contrôle de Vérone et de ses possessions. Ses seize années de pouvoir laissent à Vérone de nombreux monuments, mais la ville continue le déclin entamé à la génération précédente.

Agnes of Durazzo (1345 – 10 February 1383) was the wife of James of Baux, titular Latin Emperor of Constantinople. She was the last woman to claim the title of empress of the Latin Empire.

Agnes was the second daughter of Charles, Duke of Durazzo and Maria of Calabria. She first married Cansignorio della Scala. Cansignorio was a younger brother and nominal co-ruler of Cangrande II della Scala, Lord of Verona. In 1359, Cansignorio assassinated his older brother and succeeded him. His younger brother Paolo Alboino della Scala became his co-ruler until 1365. On 10 October 1375, Cansignorio died, presumed to have been poisoned. Their marriage was childless.

On 16 September 1382, Agnes married by proxy to her second husband, James of Baux. He was the claimant to the throne of the Latin Empire since 1374. Her brother-in-law, Charles III of Naples, granted her Corfu as part of her dowry. Their marriage was short-lived. Agnes died 10 February 1383. James died in Taranto on 7 July 1383.
