According to John Julius Norwich in his History of Venice, the "first two" Doges of Venice are actually apocryphal, and Paolo was almost certainly in fact the Byzantine Exarch at Ravenna that was assassinated in 727 after 726 when Byzantine possessions in Italy including Venice revolted and chose their own Dux, leaders, (the "Dux" of Venice being Orso Ipato, and the title later changing "Doge" following Venetian dialect).

Furthermore according to Norwich, John the Deacon's fantasy that Paolo was the first Doge has to do with (and he got it from who?), wishful thinking that Venice was born in freedom (which is most certainly not the case, as "Ipato" comes from "Hypatos", meaning Consul, the title which the Byzantine emporer granted Orso.)

Shouldn't we be using the Venetian names without vowel endings, like Leonardo Loredan?

There had been some back-and-fort editing earlier, a high-profile user just reverted my edit, thinking that my edit is not an improvement. In which I tried to rearranged the infobox (by just moving the title above the name). Literally most monarchial infoboxes have that (examples: [[Emperor of Russia]], [[German Emperor]]) [[User:G0dzillaboy02|G0dzillaboy02]] ([[User talk:G0dzillaboy02|talk]]) 13:21, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
I was under the impression that the Doge could leave the lagoon, if he was accompanied by two observers. Someone with more time could find it in John Norwich's "History of Venice", which is where I think I read it. [[User:Plasticbadge|Plasticbadge]] 13:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

:It's patently obvious that the Doge ''could'' leave (e.g. [[Enrico Dandolo]] and [[Francesco Morosini]]); this seems to have been confusion from a limitation on his meeting with agents of foreign powers. [[User:Kirill Lokshin|Kirill Lokshin]] 15:35, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

:Well, the text in the article was: <blockquote>He was by law forbidden to leave the city, confined for the rest of his life to the [[Doge's Palace]] complex and the connected [[Basilica di San Marco]]. (Compare with the ''[[podestà]]'' of other Italian republics who were confined by their term office).</blockquote> I'll try to search through my copy of Norwich, but this seems to be, on the surface of it, utter nonsense. (Incidenally, members of the [[Council of Ten]] ''were'' confined to the palace for the duration of their terms, if I recall correctly.)

::Did someone remove that text from the article? Because I don't see it anymore.
::~ender 2008-04-10 12:26:PM MST

::Kiril Loshkin, I'm at the beginning of Norwhich's coverage of the 12th century and have yet to see it, though it probably came later. Some of what has been removed is in the List of Doges of Venice article and really should be moved back here.

== Surveillance? ==
"the doge was constantly under strict surveillance"
I was reading in some fiction that the [[Council of Ten|Capi]] (and boy there's a lot of questions in that article) were constantly watching him, except for when he was in his bed-chamber, with his wife. Yet, he can conduct business? And/or open mail from non-foreign powers?<br>I'd like some more details.<br>~ender 2008-04-10 12:23:PM MST

DOWG

== IPA ==

The IPA for the pronunciation of "Doge" seems to be incorrect. The correct Italian pronunciation is {{IPA-it|ˈdɔːdʒe}}. In fact, I'm not sure why this article is using English IPA at all. I have added the the Italian pronunciation to the article, but have left the supposed English pronunciation as well, for now.
