Marco Barbarigo di Croia
Venetian nobleman / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marco Barbarigo (fl. 1388–d. 1428)[a] was a Venetian nobleman, who married Helena Thopia and thus inherited the rule of Croia (Krujë) (in modern Albania), which he initially held under Venetian and later, after quarrelling with Venetian noblemen, Ottoman suzerainty, until in late 1394 when he was defeated by Venetian subject Niketa Thopia (his wife's cousin) and forced into exile at the court of Đurađ II Balšić. He was appointed the Venetian governor (as "count" or "captain") of Cattaro (Kotor) in ca. 1422.
