Grimaldo Canella (d. c. 1184) was the youngest son of Otto Canella and Consul of Genoa in 1162, 1170, and 1184.[2] He later served as an ambassador to the empire of Frederick Barbarossa.[1][2]
A century later, in 1270, the Guelph families of Grimaldi and Fieschi were forced into exile from Genoa.[2] The Grimaldis ended up in the Guelph towns around Nice.[2] They made their first attempt to seize the Ghibelline fortress of Monaco in 1297, although they did not control it permanently until 1419.[1] Thus the family became Princes of Monaco.
