Confidence

low

it.wikipedia (Annibaldi): Annibaldo the elder married a sister of Innocent III and became senator (no date). The page's castles (Molara, Rocca Priora, Monte Porzio, Rocca di Papa, Monte Compatri, Sermoneta, Ninfa, Terracina, Genzano, Cori) are given without dates, and its tale of a dowry of 1090 is not reliable. The DBI on Riccardo Conti says the Conti held the lands between Circeo and Sora together with the Annibaldi, their kin by marriage (a later state of things).

Gregorovius: Pietro Annibaldi, a papal ally, built a tower near the Colosseum (in the troubles after 1203).

Overlord

The commune, and through it the pope.

What it holds

• Houses in Rome near the Colosseum (the tower by the Colosseum is built after 1203)
• Castles in the Alban hills and the Marittima: not pinned for 1200

Allies and rivals

Allies: the Conti. After 1202 they back one faction in Terracina against the Ceccano's.

How things stand that morning

In the pope's party; holdings not pinned.

Threats

• The fall of the pope's party in Rome

Places of note

• Annibaldi houses: By the Colosseum, where Pietro Annibaldi builds a tower after 1203

Where the sources disagree

Evidence: Only the marriage to the pope's sister is reasonably sure; nothing dates their castles to 1200.

On the map: No ground is drawn: their castles are later.
