[September 18] Pietro I Candiano, doge of Venice

House: Candiano
Predecessor: Giovanni II
Reign: 887
Brief: As the sixteenth doge of Venice, Pietro Candiano was meant to serve Giovanni II, an elderly and loved patriarch. His extremely short reign was consumed with a military campaign against the Narentines who were occupying Dalmatia. Despite an initial naval victory, he died in open battle when his army was routed. His failure forced the Venetian Republic to pay tribute to Prince Branimir of Croatia for the next sixty years. His grand-nephew, Pietro, succeeded him in the dogeship. 
Date of Death: 18 September 887
Successor: Pietro Tribuno
