I just did a quick search and remembered why the name was familiar.
Federico de Montefeltro was one of the leading generals of his day. He was
also a major patron of the arts and sciences and collected one of the finest
libraries of the 15th Century. One of his portraits depicts him in full
armor reading a book. It is my understanding that Duke Federico's library
is still intact and maintained in Urbino.
