Vol. 5: A 1300 usque ad 1421

Doge Antonio Venier asks Domnius of Castello to lend his full support to the project of Domenico Bon who would like to acquire the possession of a “certain place” (= Rašpor).

Aquileian Patriarch John of Moravia confirms the fief called “The Third Share of the Treasury of Oprtalj” to Simon, son of late Črnja, and Dionysius, son of Stephan, his faithful subjects and citizens of Oprtalj.

In a detailed apologia addressed to the Patriarch of Aquileia [Anthony Caetani], the margrave of Istria [Bernard of Oltraponte] defends his conduct and that of his subjects of Buzet against Venetian accusations of robbery and border violence, vividly recounting a tangled web of raids, retaliations, fugitive robbers, and contested jurisdictions in late-fourteenth century Margraviate of Istria.

The Venetian Senate agrees to the plea presented by the envoys of Rovinj who asked that the body of Saint Euphemia, the patron saint of the town, be returned to their community since it had been stolen from them by the Genoese during the War of Chioggia and subsequently transferred to Venice.

Pope Alexander V exempts the Doge and the Commune of Venice from their annual payment of approximately 2,000 gold ducats to the Patriarchate of Aquileia, nullifies any past or future ecclesiastical censures related to this obligation, and forbids the patriarch or any other authority from attempting to enforce this payment or impose penalties for its non-payment.

The Council of Hundred responds to the articles of the pact of subjection issued by the Commune of Oprtalj, accepting the community into the Venetian Dominion.

The Council of Hundred responds to the articles of the pact of subjection issued by the Commune of Buje, accepting the community into the Venetian Dominion.

Venetian Doge Michele Steno confirms the enfeoffment done by Patriarch John of Moravia and re-invests Dionysius, son of late Stephen, with the fief he and his ancestors enjoyed from the Patriarchate of Aquileia.

The Council of Hundred writes to the incumbent captain and podestà of Koper regarding the news that the people of Buje rebelled against Venice, greenlighting the proposal to destroy the walls of Buje and informing him and the captain of Rašpor that they should continue with their original plan (i.e., destroy the walls), but keep intact the houses and possessions of the citizens and dwellers of Buje.
