Two Templar-Hospitaller Preceptories North of Tuscania

Extract

Very little work has so far been published on the Templars and Hospitallers in the area north of Rome, so that this study of the two preceptories of San Savino and Castell'Araldo makes a contribution to the history of both Orders. Archaeological investigations of Hospitaller and Templar preceptories or commanderies have been made in a number of countries. In this present case there was no excavation, but the combination of a careful survey on the ground with a detailed though far from exhaustive study of the written sources has made it possible to evaluate the significance of these preceptories as economic and social units, while the identification and investigation of two previously unnoticed and markedly dissimilar abandoned communities is of some value for the general history of the region.

The existing works on the neighbourhood contain almost no information about the two castles, neither of which has so far attracted scholarly attention. The chronicles and archives of Viterbo and Orvieto are more helpful, though only very limited research on unpublished materials from these two towns was attempted. Scarcely anything relevant to the medieval period seems to have been preserved at Marta, where the Archivio Comunale is in disorder, though the consiglio records contain a wealth of post-1500 documents which could be used to study the agrarian history of the area.

Signor Luigi Pierdomenico and Signor Giuseppe Giontella generously facilitated research in the Archivio Comunale. Both the comunal and cathedral archives were temporarily moved in February 1971 to the Archivio di Stato at Viterbo, where the Director, Dott. A. Porretti, kindly found certain documents amid the resulting confusion. Pierdomenico, L., Il comune di Tuscania e le corporazioni artigiane nel 1400 (Grotte di Castro, 1972Google Scholar) is based on these documents but appeared too late to be utilised.

17 The pottery included black-glazed, terra sigillata, red polished, coarse and rilled wares; Miss Joanna Morris kindly identified these finds. Further detail in Quilici, 122. The existing bridge across the stream is modern.

20 Almost nothing is known of the Clodia's exact route after it left Tuscania: A. Mazzolai, ‘Ricognizione della via Aurelia e Clodia nei tratti compresi fra il fiume Fiora e Populonia’, Società storica maremmana: bollettino, no. 12 (1965), 58–63. Assuming that it was built, it apparently had neither paving nor milestones, and it was probably not a straight road but went out of its way to visit towns or avoid the numerous watercourses and fosse, possibly following earlier Etruscan routes. Wetter, E., ‘Studies and Strolls in Southern Etruria’, in Etruscan Culture, Land and People, ed. Böethius, A. et al. (New York-Malmö, 1962), map 1Google Scholar, follows the Mattei map of 1674 (ibid., plate 20) in showing the Clodia as by-passing Tuscania and passing to the north of it, in which case it would have run near S. Savino (his Castel Broco). Others, including Campanari, i, tav. XI, show it as crossing the Marta outside Tuscania, traversing the town and continuing westwards. In effect, both the old maps and the modern authorities are in complete disagreement, and in the absence of any clearly-identifiable material trace of the road it cannot be said where the Clodia went, though on the basis of a road cutting and some masonry in the Fosso Pian di Vico, Quilici, 21–22, 131–132 (with full bibliography), suggests that it passed southwest of Tuscania and ran roughly westwards.

A document of 1372 defined a campum which lay: in tenimento castri sancti Sabinj in contrata vataccianj in valle vinj, iuxta rem monastery sanctorum johannis et victoris rem hospitalis sancti Spiritus in Saxia de Urbe, rem heredum Corradinj, fossatum vataccianj, viam vicinalem ex parte inferiori, et alios suos confines …: Viterbo, Archivio Storico del Gomune, San Angelo in Spata, perg. 2359.

27 The earliest document is apparently that of 1140 (infra, 99); the church may originally have been of three apses altered, with clumsy stone work and abundant mortar, in more modern times, apparently after 1574 (infra, 112 n. 104).

39 Text in MGH: Diplomata Regum et Imperatorum, i. 516–517, where it is assigned to Tuscania, though other suggestions include Cerasiolo near Pisa; Raspi Serra, 142 n. 110, accepts the assignation to Tuscania.

40 Campanari, ii. 75–108.

41 This summary was cited by Giannotti, i, 89, as being in the sacristy of S. Maria la Nuova at Tuscania. Turriozzi, 10, cited it as being in Tuscania, Archivio Gattedrale, but it is not there now; Professor W. Hagemann of the Istituto Storico Germanico at Rome, who has searched the whole archive, kindly confirmed this. Campanari, ii, 26, stated that the summary was in the archive of S. Salvatore sul Monte Amiata (now in Siena, Archivio di Stato); Dr. Wilhelm Kurze has worked through that archive without finding this summary. Campanari, ii. 116, also publishes a text of 1142 referring to the medietatem Episcopates (sic) S. Savini (‘Dall'archivio com. di Valentano pubblicato dall'emo. Card. Garampi, e dall'archivio della cattedrale di Toscanella’). An 18th-century transcript of this document, made from a 16th-century copy in Valentano, Archivio Comunale, gives medietatem ep.atus sci. Sauini (Montefiascone 198). Since the archives of Castro were moved to Valentano and the cathedral of Castro was dedicated to S. Savino, this latter reference must have been to the Diocese of Castro, as the document itself suggests.

Minor excavations on the plateau might prove valuable in identifying the pottery, possibly as a ‘Viterbo’ ware which differed from that of Orvieto; the fact that the site was abandoned after 1322 would provide a terminal date for the pottery.

This Allibrato of 1344 was said by Signorelli in 1907 (and by Silvestrelli [1917], 504 n. 2, whose knowledge of the Allibrato was communicate d to him by Signorelli) to be in the archive of the Canonica di S. Angelo in Spata at Viterbo. The parroco of S. Angelo knows nothing of it, and there is apparently no trace in the Mss. indices in Viterbo, Archivio Storico del Comune, of it having passed to that archive with other documents of S. Angelo in about 1870.

85 Cf. Signorelli, i, 390. Citing the 1344 Allibrato, he mentions the Hospitaller churches at Tuscania of S. Leonardo and S. Maria della Sugaretta (ibid., i. 390 n. 17).

Sughereto is now the name of a spot some 2 km. south-east of Tuscania.

113 Text in Bini, 441. Aradiris is not to be identified elsewhere, but its identification with Araldo remains a presumption. Bencivenni was a cubicularius of Innocent IV (Bulst-Thiele, 302). Serafini, 62, without evidence, repeats the story that Castell'Araldo was attacked by Frederick Barbarossa.

136 Note in Montefiascone 171 (ad an. 1429), but the note gives the indiction as ‘2’ (i.e. 1424) rather than ‘7’ (1429).

137 Reg. Vat. 353, f. 256v. The chronology is uncertain; this text and one of 1434 (infra, 123) stated that Orsini was granted Castell'Araldo by Naillac, who died in 1421, and a text of 1444 (infra, 123–24) stated that he had held the castle for 20 years.

139 Guiraud, 113–128; cf. Litta, P., Famiglie celebri d'Italia, v (Milan, 1819Google Scholar), Orsini di Roma, tav. XXII (both partly erroneous). The Hospitaller Fr. Niccold Orsini, Prior of Venice and interim Lieutenant ‘anti-Master’ after 1405 (Delaville [1913], 262), was apparently not a close kinsman.

147 Supra, 110. Visconti, Preceptor of Castell'Araldo, was licensed to leave Rhodes on 29 Nov. 1454; he was still preceptor in 1462 (Malta, cod. 368, f. 91; cod. 372, f. 114).

148 According to Niccola della Tuccia, 259, Castell'Araldo was sacked and ruined by the men of Canino in Sep. 1459. da Roma, Casimiro, Memorie storiche delle Chiese e Conventi dei Frati Minori della Provincia Romana (Rome, 1744), 387Google Scholar n. 1 (without source), states that Pope Pius II quashed the sentence against the men of Canino for their attack, but the document (Reg. Vat. 278, f. 52v–53), dated 14 Nov. 1460, refers to Castellardo (Castrumlardi); cf. Lanzi, 162–163, with further detail. It seems possible that della Tuccia made the same error.
