Este

Este Italian noble family, rulers of Ferrara (12401597), Modena and Reggio (12881796). The origins of the family date back from the 9th century. The family took its name in the 12th century, from the castle of Este, near Padua. The last duke, Ercole d'Este III, was deposed in 1796 by the French and died in 1803. The family ruled the Duchy of Modena and Reggio again from 1814 to 1859 becoming Asburgo - Este (Haupsburg - Este). see also: List of Dukes of Ferrara and of Modena List of Dukes of Modena
