Marin Falier, Doge of Venice (born 1285)

Marino Faliero was the 55th Doge of Venice from 11 September 1354 to 15 April 1355, 2 days before his execution for attempting a coup d'etat.

The Doge of Venice – in Italian, Doge di Venezia – was the doge or highest role of authority within the Republic of Venice (697–1797). The word Doge derives from the Latin Dux, meaning 'leader', and Venetian for 'duke', highest official of the republic of Venice for over 1,000 years. In Italian, the cognate is duce, one of National Fascist Party leader Benito Mussolini's titles.
