Laurentius Tiepolo, dux Veneciarum (1268-1275)

Manfred Cagapisto and Jacob Porrezionis, the official representatives of Aquileian Patriarch Raymond della Torre, conclude a new treaty with Doge Lorenzo Tiepolo and the Commune of Venice, reestablishing the relations as defined in a previous treaty from 1254 signed between Patriarch Gregory of Montelongo and Doge Ranieri Zeno; the representatives of the patriarch also promise to have the count of Gorizia sign the treaty once he settles his differences with the incumbent patriarch, to reimburse to the Venetians all the damages that they had suffered during the period in which the 1254 treaty had not been respected by the patriarchs, and to make sure that all the roads remain free and open to Venetian merchants.
