| Notes |
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boniface_III_of_Tuscany
- (Medical):He tried to restrict the rights of his valvassores , despite Conrad's imperial edict of 1037. It was this action against his undertenants which got him killed in 1052, during a hunting expedition. This version of Boniface's death is disputed. Some have alleged that Henry played a part in his assassination. It is also held by some that in 1044 there was an attempt made on the margrave's life at Brescia and that the conspirators fled to Verona, which Boniface subsequently sacked before expelling some Veronese conspirators from Mantua as well. One Scarpetta Carnevari apparently nursed a grudge for this act and years later, while Boniface was preparing a galley for a pilgrimage to Jerusalem , shot him with a poisoned arrow on the river Oglio , near Martino dall'Argine in the region of Spineta while on the hunt.
