Oddantonio Da Montefeltro (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Oddantonio da Montefeltro (1428 - 22 July 1444) was the first duke of Urbino in Italy. Oddantonio succeeded his father Guidantonio as count of Urbino. He was the half-brother of Federico da Montefeltro. The testamentary division of the county between Oddantonio and Federico is not known, as well as the relationship between the two. However, it has been suggested that Federico provided at least some financial support to his brother via his activity as condottiero. On 25 April 1443, at the age of sixteen, the Pope made him Duke of Urbino as a reward for his support in the war against the Sforza in the Marche.
