Background |
| |
Born into the all powerful Pietro dynasty of Venice--by far the wealthiest family in the world at the time. In 1009, his father Pietro Orseolo died and he succeeded him to the Doge's throne. |
| |
In 1026 the Venetians again revolted against the rule of the Pierleoni while Pietro II Orseolo was battling the Ottomans. He was defeated in battle and forced to withdraw, but with his city strongly defended and the Ottomans in pursuit, he was unable to lay siege to Venice to regain control. |
| |
Instead, the remaining ships of the Venetian fleet landed near Trieste and Pietro II Orseolo and his marines moved eastward until they encountered the forces of Stephen of Hungary. The "Jewish" Venetian marines defeated the Christian Hungarians and Pietro II Orseolo became King of Hungary by 1028. He reigned as ruthless tyrant until his death in 1041. |
| |
He was succeeded by his son King Pietro III Urseolo of Hungary (1041- 1047). |
