Who is Pietro III Candiano?

Pietro III Candiano was the Doge of Venice from 942 until 959. In 948 he led a fleet of 33 Galleys to punish the Dalmatian pirates - Narentines - for repeatedly raiding across the Adriatic Sea. After the military attempt failed, he tried again - but the result was a peace treaty that made the Most Serene Republic of Venice pay taxes to the Narentines for safe passage for the next 50 years, until Doge Pietro II Orseolo's actions. His dogaressa was Arcielda Candiano.
