- ↑ Although not listed in the 1464 will of Pier Maria II, in all other surviving documents in the Rossi archive Troilo I is given as Giovanni's son and in other fragments as the son of Angela Scotti Douglas. However, some doubts remain, since Troilo's cousin Bernardo de' Rossi (bishop of Treviso) states that "the Rossi bastard was in the French camp", referring to Troilo I and his father Giovanni being the only members of the Rossi family not to fight alongside the Venetians at Fornovo. It is unknown whether ""bastard" accurately describes Troilo I as illegitimate or whether its usage is simply pejorative - Bernardo considered Troilo I as usurping the fiefdom of San Secondo from its legitimate heir, Bernardo's brother Filippo Maria.
