Andrea II Barozzi

Andrea II Barozzi (died 1308) was a Venetian nobleman and the fourth lord of Santorini in the Cyclades.

He succeeded his father, Iacopo II Barozzi, on the latter's death in 1308.[1] His possession of Santorini and Therasia was confirmed by a treaty between the Republic of Venice and the Byzantine Empire in 1310.[1]

In 1316, his possessions were raided by Turkish pirates.[1] Around 1325, Barozzi came into conflict with the Duke of Naxos, Nicholas I Sanudo, over his feudal status: the Dukes of Naxos claimed suzerainty of Santorini as lords of the Cyclades archipelago, but the Barozzi had equally staunchly refused to accept such an obligation. Despite the mediation of Venice, the conflict turned into open war between the two. A renewed Venetian intervention in 1328 eventually brought about an armistice in 1331.[1]

Andrea II Barozzi died in 1334.[1] His successor, Marino Barozzi, withdrew to Crete where he died in 1359, leaving Santorini to be annexed directly by the Sanudi.[2]
