Condulmer family
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Condulmer were a Venetian family originally from Pavia.[1] Originally wealthy commoners, the different branches of the family were only slowly admitted to the Venetian nobility. Marco Condulmer, a bread merchant, is recorded in 1297.[2] In 1381, Jacopo Condulmer of the Domenico branch was ennobled for his contributions to the treasury during the War of Chioggia in 1379.[2][3] The Fernovelli branch was ennobled with the election of one of its own, Gabriele, as Pope Eugene IV in 1431.[2] Still, in 1528, Zuan Francesco Condulmer had his name crossed out in the Libro d'Oro for his failure to prove his nobility.[4] A third branch of the family, the Angelo, was ennobled only at the time of the Cretan War (1645–1669).[2]
