Historical background
ITALY - VENICE - ANTONIO VENIER (62th doge)
(1382-1400)
Antoine Vernier succeeded Michel Morosini who had just died of the plague on October 16, 1382 after a doganat of less than five months. Vernier was elected on November 21, 1382 and had to fight against the rise of the Visconti of Milan and against Charles VI of France to whom the Republic of Genoa, the old enemy, had offered itself. In the East, the doge had to face the rise of the Turks and suffered in Illyria and Dalmatia, the repercussions of the defeat of Nicopolis in 1396. He died on November 23, 1382 and Michel Steno (1400-1413) succeeded him.
