No source read documents the family in 1199-1200; their place as the bishop of Como's vassals at Sondrio is general knowledge. The Quadrio, an old Como family (an Olricus Quadra is attested in 1083), moved into the Valtellina only in the thirteenth century (Wikipedia, Quadrio), so they are not yet lords there in 1200.
