Lorenzo Tiepolo (died 15 August 1275) was doge of the Republic of Venice from 1268 until his death. [1]
Born in Venice,Lorenzo Tiepolo was the son of Doge Jacopo Tiepolo. Tiepolo demonstrated skill as a commander when,during the War of Saint Sabas with Genoa,he defeated the Genoese at the Battle of Acre in 1258. He served also as a podestà of Fano.
In 1262,he took part in the peace negotiation between Venice and Prince William of Villehardouin,whose vassal he was for the islands of Skopelos and Skyros, [2] in the aftermath of the War of the Euboeote Succession. [3] [4]
In 1268,after the death of Reniero Zeno,Lorenzo was elected doge on 23 July of that year,with 25 votes out of 41. Although beloved by the population,he attracted the hostility of the Venetian nobility for his nepotism towards his sons. The position of Cancellier Grande ("Great Chancellor") was therefore created to thwart such behaviour. [5]
In 1270,a peace treaty was signed with Genoa at Cremona,confirming the Venetian predominance in the Adriatic Sea;however,in that same year a war broke out between Venice and a league of Italian cities including Bologna,Treviso,Verona,Mantua,Ferrara,Cremona,Recanati,and Ancona due to commercial disputes. After an initial setback in 1271,the Venetians were able to regain the upper hand and the terms of peace were favourable to Venice.
Under his dogado,in 1273,Marco Polo began his journey to China. He did not return until 1295.
Tiepolo died in Venice in 1275 and was buried with his father in the Dominican church of San Zanipolo.
His first wife was,according to conflicting traditions,"either the daughter of the King of Romania or of Bohemund of Brienne,ruler of Rascia". [6] Probably widowed,he married before 1262 his second wife,Marchesina Ghisi,daughter of Geremia Ghisi. [7] [8]
He had two sons from his second marriage,Giacomo and Pietro. [9]
The Duchy of the Archipelago,also known as Duchy of Naxos or Duchy of the Aegean,was a maritime state created by Venetian interests in the Cyclades archipelago in the Aegean Sea,in the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade,centered on the islands of Naxos and Paros. It included all the Cyclades. In 1537,it became a tributary of the Ottoman Empire,and was annexed by the Ottomans in 1579;however,Christian rule survived in islands such as Sifnos and Tinos.
Tiepolo is a surname. Notable people with the surname include:
The War of the Euboeote Succession was fought in 1256–1258 between the Prince of Achaea,William of Villehardouin,and a broad coalition of other rulers from throughout Frankish Greece who felt threatened by William's aspirations. The war was sparked by Villehardouin's intervention in a succession dispute over the northern third of the island of Euboea,which was resisted by the local Lombard barons with the aid of the Republic of Venice. The Lord of Athens and Thebes,Guy I de la Roche,also entered the war against William,along with other barons of Central Greece. Their defeat at the Battle of Karydi in May/June 1258 effectively brought the war to an end in an Achaean victory,although a definite peace treaty was not concluded until 1262.
Reniero Zeno was the 45th Doge of Venice,reigning from 1 January 1253 until his death in 1268.
Jacopo Tiepolo,also known as Giacomo Tiepolo,was Doge of Venice from 1229 to 1249. He had previously served as the first Venetian Duke of Crete,and two terms as Podestàof Constantinople,twice as governor of Treviso,and three times as ambassador to the Holy See. His dogate was marked by major domestic reforms,including the codification of civil law and the establishment of the Venetian Senate,but also against a mounting conflict with Emperor Frederick II,which broke into open war from 1237 to 1245.
Marco Cornaro,also known as Marco Corner,was the 59th doge of Venice,ruling between 1365 and 1368. His brief reign saw the loss of Venetian territory to Genoa and the Ottoman Empire,though Venice was to enjoy economic growth during this time.
Pietro Gradenigo was the 49th Doge of Venice,reigning from 1289 to his death.
Maria Sanudo was lady of the island of Andros in the Duchy of the Archipelago in 1372–1383,and lady of the island of Paros and of one third of Negroponte in 1383–1426 in co-regency with her spouse,Gaspare Sommaripa.
Dogaressa was the official title of the wife of the Doge of Venice. The title was unique for Venice:while the heads of the Republic of Genoa were also called Doge,the wives of the Doges of Genoa were not called Dogaressa,nor did they have such a public position.
The Byzantine–Venetian War of 1296–1302 was an offshoot of the second Venetian–Genoese War of 1294–1299.
Giovanni Soranzo was a Venetian statesman of the prominent Soranzo family who served as the 51st Doge of Venice. He ascended to the position on 13 July 1312 and served until his death. Soranzo was a member of a noble family;he was married to Franchesina. In 1310 his son-in-law,Niccolo' Querini was exiled for life from Venice for taking part in Bajamonte Tiepolo's conspiracy to overthrow the state. Soranzo was succeeded as Doge by Francesco Dandolo. He was also an Italian politician,diplomat and admiral.
Lorenzo Celsi was a Venetian statesman who served as the 58th Doge of Venice,from 16 July 1361 until his death.
This article presents a detailed timeline of the history of the Republic of Venice from its legendary foundation to its collapse under the efforts of Napoleon.
Bartholomew II Ghisi was a Latin feudal lord in medieval Greece,lord of Tinos and Mykonos,Triarch of Negroponte and Grand Constable of the Principality of Achaea.
Andrea Ghisi was a Venetian nobleman,and the first Lord of Tinos and Mykonos.
Geremia Ghisi was a Venetian nobleman who in c. 1207,following the Fourth Crusade,captured the Greek islands of Skiathos,Skopelos,and Skyros and became their lord,while his brother Andrea Ghisi conquered the islands of Tinos and Mykonos. Their sister or half-sister,Agnese Ghisi,married Othon de Cicon,who became the lord of Karystos on Euboea.
In 1268,the Byzantine Empire and the Republic of Venice agreed to temporarily end hostilities which had erupted after the Byzantine recovery of Constantinople by Emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos in 1261.
The Byzantine–Venetian treaty of 1277 was an agreement between the Byzantine Empire and the Republic of Venice that renegotiated and extended for two years the previous 1268 treaty between the two powers. The agreement was beneficial for both sides:Byzantine emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos kept the Venetians and their fleet from participating in the attempts of Charles of Anjou to organize an anti-Byzantine crusade,while the Venetians were able to retain their access to the Byzantine market,and even augment their trading privileges by gaining direct access to the Black Sea and the right to their own quarters in Constantinople and Thessalonica. Furthermore,they were able to stop the Byzantine reconquest of Venetian-aligned territories in the Aegean,although the treaty explicitly allowed both sides to continue fighting for control of the island of Euboea (Negroponte). Nevertheless,the agreement's short duration made clear that for both parties,it was a temporary expedient. After the treaty expired,the Venetians allied with Charles of Anjou,but their plans were thwarted by the outbreak of the War of the Sicilian Vespers in 1282,forcing Venice once more to renew the peace with the Byzantines in 1285.
Martino da Canal was a 13th-century Venetian chronicler,whose only known work is the so-called Les estoires de Venise,a French chronicle of the history of Venice from its beginnings to 1275. It is particularly valuable for Canal's depiction of events during his own lifetime,particularly during the years 1267–1275,when he was at Venice.
