Charles I of Monaco, Lord of Monaco,[1] was a 14th century soldier and noble. He was a member of the Grimaldi dynasty.

Biography

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.

He was appointed Admiral of France.[2]

After thirty years of Genoese rule, Charles retook the Rock on 12 September 1331, and ruled until his death, when the Rock was again conquered by the Genoese army.

Also he was Baron of San Demetrio, in the Kingdom of Naples.[2]

In 1346 he acquired the Lordship of Menton and, in 1355, he conquered the Lordship of Roquebrune.

On 29 June 1352, Charles designed a co-rulership of Monaco between his uncle Antonio (his father's youngest brother), and his own sons, Rainier II and Gabriele.

The Grimaldi Family, with few exceptions for enemy occupations, have been primary rulers of Monaco since the 13th Century. Their family ancestry can be easily traced to many of the great noble families of Europe. See Also:
