Ursus Hypatos — third and first doge of Venice

Ursus Hypatos — or Orso Ipato in Italian — was the third doge on the traditional list of doges of Venice, but probably the first to be chosen by the Venetians. The nominally first, Paulicius, most likely never existed, and the second, Marcellus, was probably a Byzantine appointee.

We know very little about duke Ursus.
