Expulsion of the Venetians (c. 787)

In this letter from pope Adrian I to Charlemagne, dated to c. 787 or shortly after, the pope confirmed that, as requested by Charlemagne, he had ordered all Venetians expelled from the lands of the former Exarchate around Ravenna and in the Pentapolis.

The expulsion of the Venetians from the lands of the papacy happened in the early years of the reign of duke Giovanni (787–804).

According to the letter, the Venetians were to be expelled, lose all established rights of residence and trade, and have all property, including church property, confiscated.

If the decision was carried out as described in the letter, it must have had a notable impact of the Venetian economy, as it would severely restrict Venetian trade along the Adriatic coast and up the river Po, to the entirety of the vast Po valley.

The usual Venetian sources for the period don't mention the events at all, which leaves the sensation that whatever happened, the outcome wasn't exactly glorious for the Venetians.
