The Patriarchate of Aquileia and the Commune of Venice sign a pact, renewing the old treaties signed between Venice and Patriarch Peter in 1300 and sanctioning the Venetian jurisdiction over Pula, Vodnjan with the regalian villages, and Bale in exchange for a yearly tribute of 225 marks.

Due to poor management of public granaries throughout Istria, where the managers of these granaries used the money for other purposes rather than to purchase grains and other necessary items to feed the poor, the Venetian Senate enacts several rules to remedy this situation.
