Luigi Ferrigo

Luigi Ferrigo was a Genoese merchant during the Crusades.

In 1190, Luigi sought an audience with either Saladin or Saphadin to request opening up trade between Tyre, where his goods were located, and Jaffa, but neither would receive him.

El Akir told Ferrigo that he would help get him an audience with Saladin if he helped him abduct Barbara Wright, and he agreed. Ferrigo got Barbara to El Akir and the Saracen got the merchant his audience with Saladin; however, a servant girl found the glove that Ferrigo had accidentally left behind in Barbara's chambers and reported it to Saladin, exposing Ferrigo. Ferrigo was killed when he tried to escape. (TV: The Crusade)
