Marino Faliero

Marino Faliero , 1274-1355, doge of Venice (1354-55). As commander of Venetian forces he defeated (1346) Louis I of Hungary at Zara, and later he held high diplomatic posts. Soon after his election as doge, the Genoese triumphed over the Venetians. The new doge, at odds with patricians who had insulted his family, joined dissatisfied plebeians in a conspiracy to assassinate the nobles, overthrow the oligarchy, and make Faliero dictator. The plot was discovered; Faliero and his accomplices, tried by the Council of Ten (see Ten, Council of ), were executed. Faliero's life has inspired works by Byron, Swinburne, Delavigne, Delacroix, and Donizetti.

Marino Faliero, Doge of Venice, a drama in blank verse by Byron, published 1821, produced in the same year at Drury Lane, against Byron's wishes. Marino Faliero was elected doge of Venice in 1354 and the events of the play, based on historical facts, and inspired by Byron's period in Venice during 1816–17, occur in 1355. The conspiracy of the doge was also the subject of a tragedy by Swinburne.
