Bajamonte Tiepolo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bajamonte Tiepolo was a Venetian noble, the grandson of Doges Jacopo Tiepolo and Lorenzo Tiepolo.

Tiepolo led a plot, put into effect on 14 June 1310, to overthrow the Grand Council of Venice and the Doge, Pietro Gradenigo. During the failed rebellion, the Rialto Bridge was burnt down. Tiepolo surrendered and was exiled to Istria. He was later permanently banished for allegedly contacting the enemies of the Republic.
