" 6 Sellar's " Poets of the Augustan Age. " 7 Symonds' " Age of the Despots. " MANTOVA LA GLORIOSA 407 Countess Matilda of Tuscany, who founded by her grant the states of the Church. 8 Mantua, however, asserted her independence after Matilda's death, becoming a Lom- bard republic, governed by its elected consuls. Owing to its secure position it steadily flourished and increased in size and power, during the whole of the 1 2th century; for the same reason of location it had few noble families, s...o that the popolo grasso retained control, with their accustomed leaning to the Guelfic cause.
In 1 167, by her consuls, Mantua joined the first League of Lombardy, and fought bravely against Frederick Bar- barossa. In 1183 she divided her lakes by the dam of Ponte del Molino, with its 12 mills. In 1226 she joined in renew- ing the League against Frederick II ; but 1 1 years later, upon the approach and the seizure of the city by that emperor, she was for the first time turned over to Ghibelline control, under the wealthy families who had embraced that faction.
