	When Constantinople fell, the city was sacked by the Venetian fleet, which stole, among other things, four bronze [[~~Horses\|horses~~]] as ornaments for the [[St. Mark's Basilica\|Basilica San Marco]].

	As Venice's wealth grew, so did its fleet. Through sea battles she gained Byzantine territory, [[Hungary\|Hungarian]] territory and destroyed the [[Genoa\|Genoese]] fleet. Venice's fortunes were so entwined with the sea that every year the Doge would throw a ring into the lagoon while saying in Latin: "We wed thee, sea, in the sign of the true and everlasting Lord". Despite much eye-raising about the godliness of sea-[[~~Humans\|~~human]] relations, the [[Papacy\|Pope]] sanctioned the marriage.		As Venice's wealth grew, so did its fleet.

	By the end of the 15th Century, Venice was quite possibly the wealthiest city in the world and the second-largest city in [[Europe]] after [[Paris]], but the rest of Europe had had enough.

	But Venice was able to weather the storm, ultimately keeping her territories even after several disastrous defeats. But she would never expand again. [[Turkey]] attacked in the 18th Century, and Venice began a long decline which ultimately ended in 1797, when Austria took control of the [[Republic of Venice\|Republic]].
