OTTONE ORSEOLO (d: 1032)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 331 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ORC-PAI
OTTONE ORSEOLO (d: 1032) , whose godfather was the emperor
Otto III., became sole doge on his father's death in 1009. He married a
sister
  of St Stephen, king of
Hungary
 , and under his
rule
  Venice was powerful and prosperous. One of his
brothers
 , Orso, was patriarch of Grado, another, Vitalis, was
bishop
  of
Torcello
 , but the growing wealth and influence of the Orseolo family soon filled the Venetians with alarm. About 1024 Ottone and. Orso were driven from Venice, but when Orso's rival, Poppo, patriarch of Aquileia, seized Grado, the exiled doge and his brother was recalled and Grado was recovered. In 1026 Ottone was banished; he found a
refuge
  in
Constantinople
 , where he remained until his death, although in 1030 an embassy invited him to return to Venice, where his brother Orso acted as agent for fourteen months. Orso remained patriarch of Grado until his death in 1045, and another member of the Orseolo family, Domenico, was doge for a single day in 1031. After the fall of the Orseoli the Venetians decreed that no doge should name his successor, or associate any one with him in the
dogeship. Ottone's son, Pietro, was king of
Hungary
  for some time after the death of his uncle, St Stephen, in 1038.
