46. Lorenzo Thiepolo. Anno 1268.

IN place of this last Duke was chosen Lorenzo Thiepolo, sonne to Iacomo the Duke: being at that time Gouer∣nor of Fano. He married a young Lady of a great and noble house in Dalmatia: he maried his two sonnes Ia∣como & Pietro to two great Ladies, the first to a princesse of Slauonia, Lady of many Castels and townes, and the other to a Lady of great riches and nobility in Vicensa: which forraigne alliances were no whit at all pleasing to the Senate, insomuch that after his death they made a law, whereby they restrained both the prince and his children from allying themselues by mariage, with strangers: in his time Fano, Bologna, and other borde∣ring cities reuolted from the state of Venice, but they were by him chastised & brought againe to obedience: at the end of sixe yeares he dyed, and was buried in the same tombe with his father in the church of S. Paule and S. Iohn.
