Orzocorre II of Arborea
Encyclopedia
Orzocorre II (died 1122) was the Judge of Arborea in Sardinia
in the early twelfth century. He was the son and successor of Torbeno
and Anna de Lacon.
In a parchment preserved with his subscription to it, his grandmother Nivata was granted the right to dispose of the two houses of Nurage Nigellu and Massone de Capras which she had built as she wished. She granted them to the Emperor
with the condition that they not be sold. This strongly suggests the recognition of imperial suzerainty in the province of Arborea at the time.
Orzocorre's wife was Maria Orvu and his son and successor was Comita I.
