Visdomino Of Ferrara
A ''visdomino'' (cf. ''vidame'', ''vicedominus'') was the representative of the Republic of Venice in the city of Ferrara from the late 13th century until 1509. The first reference to a Venetian ''visdomino'' at Ferrara comes from about 1280. The early ''visdomini'' were purely Venetian functionaries. Their original task was to monitor smuggling and report any to the Ferrarese authorities. Gradually they expanded their power, frequently interfering in Ferrarese affairs. By the 15th century, the Venetians regarded the ''visdomino'' as possessing a customary right to seize contraband. This had its origins in a treaty of 1240 that forbade Ferrara from receiving merchandise direct from the sea. The public authority of the ''visdomino'' was finally regularized in the treaty of 1455 between Venice and the Duchy of Ferrara. In this treaty, Ferrara recognized the authority of the ''visdomino'' to seize contraband. The ''visdomino'' was expelled during the War of Ferrara The War of Ferrar ...

Vidame
Vidame () was a feudal title in France, a term descended from mediaeval Latin . Like the ''avoué'' or ''advocatus'', the ''vidame'' was originally a secular official chosen by the bishop of the diocese—with the consent of the count—to perform functions on behalf of the church's earthly interest that were religiously inappropriate; this especially included violence, even in the service of justice, and to act as protector. Unlike the ''advocatus'', however, the ''vice-dominus'' was at the outset an ecclesiastical official, who acted as the bishop's lieutenant (''locum tenens'') or vicar. But the causes that changed the character of the ''advocatus'' operated also in the case of the ''vidame''. The title of Vidame de Chartres is much the best known, having been held by several people distinguished in various fields and known by the title. Although a vidame was in theory a relatively low-ranking title, in practice under the French medieval system it gained in prestige and ...

War Of Ferrara
The War of Ferrara (also known as the Salt War, Italian: ''Guerra del Sale'') was fought in 1482–1484 between Ercole I d'Este, Duke of Ferrara, and the Papal forces mustered by Ercole's personal nemesis, Pope Sixtus IV and his Venetian allies. Hostilities ended with the Treaty of Bagnolo, signed on 7 August 1484. Diplomatic background The failure of the Pazzi conspiracy against Florence in 1480 and the unexpected peace resulting from Lorenzo de' Medici's daring personal diplomacy with Ferdinand I of Naples, the Pope's erstwhile champion, was a source of discontent among the Venetians and Pope Sixtus IV alike. With the Treaty of Constantinople of 1479, Venice had ended its long conflict with the Ottoman Turks, and was freed to turn its whole attention to its role in its '' terra firma'' (mainland) and to the peninsula of Italy more generally. In addition to the usual minor friction over strongholds along the borders, there was a contest over the commerce in salt, which was re ...

Battle Of Agnadello

Background On 15 April 1509, a French army under the command of Louis XII left Milan and invaded Venetian territory. To oppose its advance, Venice had massed a mercenary army near Bergamo, jointly commanded by the Orsini cousins, Bartolomeo d'Alviano and Niccolò di Pitigliano. The Orsini had orders to avoid a direct confrontation with the advancing French, and spent the next several weeks engaged in light skirmishing. By 9 May, however, Louis had crossed the Adda River at Cassano d'Adda. Alviano and Pitigliano, encamped around the town of Treviglio, disagreed on how to deal with Louis, since Alviano wanted to attack the French in defiance of his orders; they finally decided to move south towards the Po River in search of better positions. Battle On 14 May, as the Venetian army moved south, Alviano's re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
