Iacopo II Barozzi
Iacopo, or Jacopo (II) Barozzi (died 1308), was a Venetian nobleman and the first lord of Santorini in the Cyclades. He also occupied several high-ranking colonial positions for the Venetian Republic. Life Iacopo Barozzi was the firstborn son of Andrea Barozzi, a Venetian official. Beginning with Karl Hopf in the 19th century, several modern historians held that his family had ruled the island of Santorini as a fief following the Fourth Crusade, meaning that Iacopo was heir to its lordship, but this has been refuted in the second half of the 20th century, when it was shown that Barozzi rule over Santorini can be documented only from the early 14th century on. Iacopo's early career was as a colonial administrator for the Venetian Republic in the Aegean: in the early 1290s he served as rector of Chania in the Venetian colony of Crete, then as Bailo of Negroponte from August 1295 to 1297, and finally as Duke of Candia in Crete from 1301 to 1303.

Bailo Of Negroponte

The ''bailo'' played an important role as the mediator between, and ''de facto'' overlord of, the triarchs of Euboea, who had their common residence in Negroponte.

The Duchy of the Archipelago ( el, Δουκάτο του Αρχιπελάγους, it, Ducato dell'arcipelago), also known as Duchy of Naxos or Duchy of the Aegean, was a maritime state created by Venetian interests in the Cyclades archipelago in the Aegean Sea, in the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade, centered on the islands of Naxos and Paros.

Baili Of Negroponte
''Bailo'' or ''baylo'' (plural ''baili'' or ''bayli'') is a Venetian title that derives from the Latin term ''baiulus'', meaning "porter, bearer". In English, it may be translated bailiff, or otherwise rendered as bailey, baili, bailie, bailli or baillie. The office of a ''bailo'' is a ''bailaggio'' (sometimes anglicised "bailate"). The term was transliterated into Greek as μπαΐουλος (''baioulos''), but Nicephorus Gregoras translated it ἐπίτροπος (''epitropos'', steward) or ἔφορος ('' ephoros'', overseer).

13th-century Venetian People
The 13th century was the century which lasted from January 1, 1201 ( MCCI) through December 31, 1300 ( MCCC) in accordance with the Julian calendar. The Mongol Empire was founded by Genghis Khan, which stretched from Eastern Asia to Eastern Europe. The conquests of Hulagu Khan and other Mongol invasions changed the course of the Muslim world, most notably the Siege of Baghdad (1258), the destruction of the House of Wisdom and the weakening of the Mamluks and Rums which, according to historians, caused the decline of the Islamic Golden Age. Other Muslim powers such as the Mali Empire and Delhi Sultanate conquered large parts of West Africa and the Indian subcontinent, while Buddhism witnessed a decline through the conquest led by Bakhtiyar Khilji. The Southern Song dynasty would begin the century as a prosperous kingdom but would eventually be invaded and annexed into the Yuan dynasty of the Mongols.

Year Of Birth Unknown
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year ( ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

However this probably refers to a god or a person rather than to an island *Qherasia > Therasia. Anciently, the island of Therasia possessed a town of the same name. ''Thirasia'' is ...
