For a short period in between it was a part of the independent Kingdom of Arborea (Giudicato of Arborea).
Under the Giudicato of Arborea it had a some importance as the court of the giudice (duke) was held in its castle.
Martin the Younger led the troops in the conquest of Sardinia in 1409, decisively defeating the ruler of Arborea at the Battle of Sanluri just before his own death.
In the Middle Ages it was part of the curatoria (shire) of Trexenta within the Giudicato of Cagliari and, subsequently, was owned by the counts of Capraia (1258) and, from 1295, by the Giudicato of Arborea.
The first kingdom to fall was that of Cagliari, conquered by the Republic of Pisa in alliance with the other three Giudicati; the most lasting of them, the Giudicato of Arborea, was the last to sell its rights to the Crown of Aragon, that defeated also the maritime republics and unified the island into the Kingdom of Sardinia.
