Guecellone VII da Camino
Guecellone VII da Camino (c. 1275 – 1324) was an Italian nobleman and lord of Treviso.
Biography
The second son of
Cangrande della Scala, lord of Verona. He later changed side, and allied with the Veronese Alboino I della Scala
.
His unsteady conduct caused the Trevigiani people to rebel against him, under the leadership of Rambaldo di Collato: Guecellone was forced to flee the city, ending the family's lordship in Treviso after 29 years (15 December 1312). In 1317, with the help of Cangrande della Scala, he besieged the city and the bishop's castle of San Martino at
Ceneda, but in vain. Later he reconciled with the bishops, being confirmed by the latter in the investiture of Feltre
, Ceneda and Cadore, which had been conquered by Cangrande the previous year. The following year, he was excommunicated by the pope due to a dispute about his brother's testament.
He died at Serravalle in 1324.
