Saltaro was the son of
Constantine I of Logudoro. His
mother is unknown, it may have been Marcusa. Whether or not he is
the same person as the "Saltaro de Gunale" pretender to the throne
of
Logudoro in 1127 during the
reign of
Gonario II is
unknown.
While
still a young man, he took part in the 1113–1115 Pisan
expedition against the Moors of the
Balearic
Islands
in 1114–1115. He was renowned for his
handling of the ships and his participation brought honour to his
father.
