Republic of Venice, Doge Antonio Venier, 21 October 1382 - 23 November 1400
|Members| |Auction| |Listed|, |Republic| |of| |Venice,| |Doge| |Antonio| |Venier,| |21| |October| |1382| |-| |23| |November| |1400|, During the eighteen years of Doge Venier's rule there were extraordinary high waters, two plagues, numerous fires and disasters of various kinds, but through all he showed his great strength of mind and character. In 1388 his son, Alvise, had a fight with his married lover and then mocked her betrayed husband by hanging on his door a wreath of thorns with an inscription insulting his wife, sister and mother-in-law. Alvise was fined 100 ducats and sentenced to two months in prison. While in prison he fell ill. Antonio did nothing to help and Alvise died in prison. Many praised Antonio as a model of justice; others criticized his zeal as madness.
