Barison II or Barisone II (died 10 June 1191) was the giudice of Logudoro[1] from 1153 
to 1186. He was the son and successor of Gonario II, who retired to the monastery of 
Clairvaux to live out his days.

Barisone's mother was the Pisan Maria and because of this he had the support of the 
Pisan citizens of the realm. In October 1163, his brother Peter succeeded Constantine 
II of Cagliari as his daughter's husband. He was soon opposed by Barisone II of 
Arborea, who expelled him from Cagliari, and he fled to Torres and the protection of 
his brother. Together and with Pisan support, the brothers invaded Cagliari in March 
1164, reconquering the city, and then Arborea in April, where they holed up Barisone 
in his castle of Cabras.

Though he was allied to Pisa through his mother and his allies in the war against 
Arborea, he was constrained to turn to Genoa later that year. In 1166, Barisone and 
Peter travelled to Pisa to explain the bloody reprisals of the citizens against the Pisans 
in Ottana. After that he officially abandoned Pisa and signed a treaty with Genoa. In 
1168, a treaty negotiated by Nuvolone Alberici between Genoa and Arborea on one 
side and Pisa, Torres, and Cagliari on the other restored lands lost to Arborea.

In 1183, Pisa reoccupied Cagliari, but in 1186, Barisone returned to his old allies after 
the death of his brother.

In 1170, he had appointed his son Constantine II as co-ruler. His daughter Susanna 
married Andrea Doria (a relative of the famous sixteenth-century admiral). In 1186, he 
retired to the monastery of San Giovanni[2] in Messina, leaving Torres to his son. His 
younger son Comita III later held the throne of Torres.
