Iacopo Barozzi

Iacopo or Jacopo (I) Barozzi (died c. 1245) was a Venetian nobleman and official. He served as Duke of Candia for the Venetian Republic.

For his namesake grandson, see Iacopo II Barozzi.

Iacopo Barozzi was born in Venice, in the parish of San Moisè.[1] Beginning with Karl Hopf in the 19th century, several modern historians held that in the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade, Iacopo seized the Aegean islands of Santorini and Therasia, ruling them as their lord until his death c. 1245, when he was succeeded by his son, Andrea.[1] This has been refuted in the later 1960s, when it was shown that Barozzi rule over Santorini can be documented only from the early 14th century on, with Iacopo's grandson, Iacopo II Barozzi.[2][3][4]

From 1244 to 1245, he served in the high gubernatorial office of Duke of Candia, in the Venetian colony of Crete.[1] He is last attested c. 1245, and probably died at about that time.[1]
