History

The marquisate was created following the death of Marianus V of Arborea, the second son of Eleanor of Arborea, when the giudicato of Arborea was subjected permanently to the Crown of Aragon (despite the objections of William III of Narbonne) , with the exception of a limited area around Oristano. This new fiefdom, together with the county of Goceano, was assigned by King Martin I of Aragon to Leonardo Cubello, who descended in direct male line from Guidicato Hugh II of Arborea (1321-1336).

It was created from the most fertile and strategic part of the ancient giudicato: the Campidano of Cabras, Simaxis and Milis, the curatoria of Bonorzuli, the county of Goceano (with its castle) and the walled town of Oristano.

In 1478, following the defeat of Leonardo Alagon, the title of Marquis of Oristano passed to the King of Aragon (as a ruler of Sardinia) and the city of Oristano become a royal city.
