Lorenzo de Monacis

In 1386 Lorenzo de Monacis accompanied Venetian diplomat Pantaleone Barbo to Hungary representing Venice's interests during a crisis involving the succession to the Hungarian throne.

During the mission, de Monacis wrote a poem defending Mary, Queen of Hungary and Elizabeth of Bosnia, who were accused of the murder of Charles III of Naples.

The two diplomats, having lost all their personal belongings during the incident, received 60 gold ducats as compensation awarded to them by the Great Council of Venice.

ad annum 1354 de Monacis described the stench that the urban area of Venice emitted before a plague epidemic took hold of the city.
