The Venetian Patriciate in the Mediterranean: Legal Identity and Lineage in Fifteenth-Century Venetian Crete*

Abstract

In late-fourteenth- and early-fifteenth-century Venice, the state increased its scrutiny over the composition of its patriciate. This essay examines the position of the Venetians with a claim to nobility resident on the island of Crete who were in danger of being closed out of the patriciate and the resulting negotiations over social status and political loyalty within the process of prove di nobiltà. These Venetians from the periphery presented genealogies emphasizing a shared history with Venice, and the Venetian state ultimately accepted the majority of these claims to membership in its patriciate.
