Retrieved August 22, Ursus's successor, Deusdedit, moved his seat from Heraclea to Malamocco in the s. He was the son of Ursus and represented the attempt of his father to establish a dynasty. Such attempts were more than commonplace among the doges of the first few centuries of Venetian history, but all were ultimately unsuccessful. During the reign of Deusdedit, Venice became the only remaining Byzantine possession in the north and the changing politic of the Frankish Empire began to change the factional division of Venetia. One faction was decidedly pro-Byzantine. They desired to remain well-connected to the Empire. Another faction, republican in nature, believed in continuing along a course towards practical independence. The other main faction was pro-Frankish. Supported mostly by clergy in line with papal sympathies of the time , they looked towards the new Carolingian king of the Franks, Pepin the Short , as the best provider of defense against the Lombards. A minor, pro-Lombard, faction was opposed to close ties with any of these further-off powers and interested in maintaining peace with the neighboring and surrounding, but for the sea Lombard kingdom. The successors of Obelerio inherited a united Venice. By the Pax Nicephori the two emperors had recognized Venetian de facto independence, while it remained nominally Byzantine in subservience. During the reign of the Participazio, Venice grew into its modern form. Though Heraclean by birth, Agnello, first doge of the family, was an early immigrant to Rialto and his dogeship was marked by the expansion of Venice towards the sea via the construction of bridges, canals, bulwarks, fortifications, and stone buildings. The modern Venice, at one with the sea, was being born. Agnello was succeeded by his son Giustiniano, who brought the body of Saint Mark the Evangelist to Venice from Alexandria and made him the patron saint of Venice. During the reign of the successor of the Participazio, Pietro Tradonico, Venice began to establish its military capability, which would influence many a later crusade and dominate the Adriatic for centuries. Tradonico secured the sea by fighting Slavic and Saracen pirates. Tradonico's reign was long and successful — , but he was succeeded by the Participazio and it appeared that a dynasty may have finally been established. Around , the Republic of Venice sent a fleet of 60 galleys each carrying men to assist the Byzantines in driving the Arabs from Crotone, but it fails. In the High Middle Ages, Venice became extremely wealthy through its control of trade between Europe and the Levant, and began to expand into the Adriatic Sea and beyond. In , Domenico Selvo personally led a fleet against the Normans, but he was defeated and lost nine great galleys, the largest and most heavily armed ships in the Venetian war fleet. In there was an anti-Western riot in Constantinople , of which the Venetians were the main targets. Many in the Empire had become jealous of Venetian power and influence, and thus, when in the pretender Andronikos I Komnenos marched on Constantinople, Venetian property was seized and the owners imprisoned or banished, an act which humiliated, and angered the Republic. The Venetian fleet was crucial to the transportation of the Fourth Crusade , but when the crusaders could not pay for the ships, the cunning and manipulative Doge Enrico Dandolo quickly exploited the situation and offered transport to the crusaders if they were to capture the Christian Dalmatian city of Zadar Italian: Zara , which had rebelled against the Venetian rule in , placed itself under the dual protection of the Papacy and King Emeric of Hungary and had proven too well fortified to retake for Venice alone. After accomplishing this the crusade was again diverted to Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire , another rival of Venice in revenge for the massacre of Venetian citizens living in Constantinople. The city was captured and sacked in ; the sack has been described as one of the most profitable and disgraceful sacks of a city in history. The Venetians, who accompanied the crusader fleet, claimed much of the plunder, including the famous four bronze horses which were brought back to adorn Saint Mark's basilica. As a result of the subsequent partition of the Byzantine Empire, Venice gained a great deal of territory in the Aegean Sea three-eighths of the Byzantine Empire , including the islands of Crete and Euboea. The Aegean islands came to form the Venetian Duchy of the Archipelago. Throughout the Crusades, the republic continued to trade with Muslim partners. In , Pietro Gradenigo sent a fleet of 68 ships to attack a Genoese fleet at Alexandretta, then another fleet of ships were sent to attack the Genoese in Initially defeated, they devastated the Genoese fleet at the Battle of Chioggia in and retained their prominent position in eastern Mediterranean affairs at the expense of Genoa's declining empire. In the early fifteenth century, the Venetians also began to expand in Italy , as well as along the Dalmatian coast from Istria to Albania , which was acquired from King Ladislas of Naples during the civil war in Hungary. Ladislas was about to lose the conflict and had decided to escape to Naples, but before doing so he agreed to sell his now practically forfeit rights on the Dalmatian cities for a meager sum of , ducats. Venice exploited the situation and quickly installed nobility to govern the area, for example, Count Filippo Stipanov in Zadar. This move by the Venetians was a response to the threatening expansion of Giangaleazzo Visconti, Duke of [[Milan. Control over the north-east main land routes was also a necessity for the safety of the trades. By , Venice had a navy of 3, ships manned by 36, men and taken over most of Venetia, including such important cities as Verona which swore its loyalty in the Devotion of Verona to Venice in and Padua. The situation in Dalmatia had been settled in by a truce with King Sigismund of Hungary but the difficulties of Hungary finally granted to the Republic the consolidation of its Adriatic dominions. Slaves were plentiful in the Italian city-states as late as the 15th century. Between and , some 10, slaves were sold in Venice, almost all of whom were "nubile" young women from Russia, Greece, Bosnia, Georgia, Armenia, Bulgaria, and Turkey.
