Everything about County Of Santa Fiora totally explained
The
County of Santa Fiora was a small historical state of southern
Tuscany, in central
Italy. Together with the
county of Sovana, it was one of the two subdivisions into which the possessions of the
Aldobrandeschi, then lords of much of southern Tuscany, were split in
1274.
At the moments of its creation it included part of today's
province of Grosseto, up to the
Isola del Giglio, and
Castiglione d'Orcia, in what is now the
province of Siena. In the 14th century the
Republic of Siena was able to capture Isola del Giglio,
Roccastrada,
Istia d'Ombrone,
Magliano in Toscana,
Selvena,
Arcidosso and Castiglione d'Orcia, reducing the county to its capital,
Castell'Azzara,
Semproniano and
Scansano.
In
1439, after the marriage of
Bosio I Sforza and the last Aldobrandeschi heir, Cecilia, the county was inherited by the
Sforza family, who would become ruler of the
Duchy of Milan and owned also other possessions in Tuscany and the
Marche.
The county was annexed to the
Grand Duchy of Tuscany in
1624.
