Pietro III Candiano was the Doge of Venice from 942 until 959. He was the son of Pietro II Candiano. [1]
In 948 he led a fleet of 33 galleys to punish the Dalmatian pirates,the Narentines,for repeatedly raiding against Venetian shipping in the Adriatic Sea. After the attempt failed,he tried again,but the result was a peace treaty that made the Venice pay tribute to the Narentines for safe passage for the next 50 years,until Doge Pietro II Orseolo's reign. His dogaressa was Arcielda Candiano. [2]
