Florence Sanudo

Florence Sanudo

Florence or Fiorenza Sanudo (died 1371) was the daughter and successor of John I, Duke of the Archipelago, in 1362, reigning with her husband until her death.

Her first marriage was to Giovanni dalle Carceri, Lord of Euboea, but he died in 1358. She tried to remarry, first to the Vignoso, Genoese Lord of Chios, and then to Nerio I Acciajuoli, the future Duke of Athens, but both potential husbands were vetoed by the Republic of Venice, which kidnapped her and brought to Crete. There she was forced to marry her cousin Nicholas Spezzabanda, whom the Venetians entitled Duke.

She died in 1371 and was succeeded by her son by Giovanni, Nicholas dalle Carceri. By her cousin, she left only daughters: Maria, who inherited Andros, and Elisabeth, who married the later duke Giacomo Crispo.
