Life

Giacomo III Crispo was born to Francesco II Crispo, who died the same year he succeeded his uncle because of a serious illness. He succeeded his father as a minor with his mother Petronilla Bembo as regent during his minority. [1] There were concerns that his uncle Antonio of Syra would take control of the regency. [2]

His reign was affected by the Ottoman–Venetian War of 1463–1479, when the Ottoman fleet repeatedly attacked the islands in the Greek archipelago and abducted the inhabitants into slavery. [3] In 1477, Naxos were also attached and largely occupied until the Peace of 1479 between Venice and the Ottomans, when the Duchy was respected as a Venetian ally and its inhabitants treated as Venetians. [4]

In 1480, the peace was celebrated alongside the wedding of his daughter to Domenico Pisani, son of the Duke of Candia, to which he bestowed the island of Santorini; the wedding took place during the carnival and was described as the most splendid festivities in the history of the duchy. [5] Giacomo III Crispo had not son, and because the Salic Law had been applied in the Duchy, he was not succeeded by his daughter, but by his brother John III. [6]

Family

He was married to Caterina Gozzadini and had issue:

  1. Daughter, married to Domenico Pisani, Lord of Santorini
