Background |
| |
Born to Pietro II Orseolo in Venice to the powerful Pietro Dynasty--easily the wealthiest family in the world at the time. He fled Venice along with his father in 1026 when the citizens of Venice finally revolted for the last time against the dynasty. |
| |
In 1028, his father Pietro II Orseolo defeated Stephen, the 1st king of Hungary and claimed the throne. Hungary now became the new base for the Venetian Pietro power. |
| |
In 1041, King Pietro II Orseolo died and was succeeded by Pietro III Urseolo. A less capable ruler than his father and ancestors, King Pietro III Urseolo faced increasing rebellion by the Hungarians |
| |
By 1045, the lesser branches of the Árpád Hungarian nobles had agreed to settle their differences and plan an all out assault on the forces of King Pietro III Urseolo. By 1047 they succeeded, forcing the King into exile to Ravenna Italy along with his family, while Andrew I was appointed the new King. |
| |
The exiled King died around 1054-- the last of the line of Doge/Kings that had held power for hundreds of years and controlled much of the ancient world trade and finance. |
| |
He was succeeded by his son Pietro Leoni, the financial patron of Gregory VII in the formation of the Roman Cult. |
