1356 CE

Louis of Hungary, invading Venetian territories in summer 1356 without a formal declaration of war, lays siege to Treviso on July 27.

A local nobleman, Giuliano Baldachino, notices that Louis sits alone while writing his letters on the banks of Sile River on each morning.

Baldachino proposes the Venetians to assassinate him in exchange for twelve thousand golden florins and Castelfranco Veneto, but they refuse his offer because he does not share the details of his plans with them.

Louis returns to Buda in the autumn, but his troops continue the siege.

Pope Innocent VI urges the Venetians to make a peace with Hungary.

The pope makes Louis the "standard-bearer of the Church" and grants him a three-year tithe to fight against Francesco II Ordelaffi and other rebellious lords in the Papal States.

Louis sends an army under Nicholas Lackfi's command to support the pope's troops in Italy.
