Charles I, Lord of Monaco
Monarch
– 1357
Who was Charles I, Lord of Monaco?
Charles I of Monaco was Lord of Monaco and the founder of the Grimaldi dynasty.
The oldest son of Rainier I by his first wife, Salvatica del Carretto, Charles was forced to flee into exile following the Rock of Monaco falling into Genoese control on April 10, 1301.
After thirty years of Genoese rule, Charles retook the Rock on September 12, 1331, and ruled to his death, when the Rock was again conquered by the Genoese army.
In 1346 he took the Lordship of Menton and, in 1355, he conquered the Lordship of Roquebrune.
On June 29, 1352, Charles designed a co-rulership of Monaco between his uncle Antonio, and his own sons, Rainier II and Gabriele.
