Editing Enrico Dandolo (section)

==Legacy==
Dandolo's son, [[Raniero Dandolo|Ranieri]], served as vice-doge during Dandolo's absence and was later killed in the war against [[Republic of Genoa|Genoa]] for the control of [[Crete]].{{sfn|Madden|2003|p=137, 200}} It is unclear if he had other children besides Ranieri as the existence of none can be confirmed by contemporary evidence.{{sfn|Madden|2003|p= 101-104}} Ranieri's daughter [[Anna Dandolo]] married Serbian Grand Prince, subsequently King, [[Stefan the First-Crowned|Stefan Nemanjić]] (r. 1196–1228) in 1217, making Enrico an ancestor to much of the later [[Nemanjić dynasty]].

During his dogeship, Dandolo was married to a woman named Contessa, to whom he delegated authority over his commercial and private affairs along with his brother, Andrea, and assumed friend Filippo Falier of the San Tomà parish, before he departed on a political trip to Constantinople with his brother, Giovanni, in 1183.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Enrico Dandolo and the Rise of Venice|last=Madden|pages=84–85}}</ref> Contessa's identity is debated, and it is often thought that she may have been a member of the Minotto clan though the veracity of this claim is inconclusive.{{sfn|Madden|2003|p=84-85}}

In the nineteenth-century, the [[Regia Marina]] (Italian Navy) launched an [[Ironclad warship|ironclad]] [[battleship]] named {{ship|Italian ironclad|Enrico Dandolo||2}}.

Enrico Dandolo and his role in the conquest of Constantinople were referenced by [[Lord Byron]] in his poem ''[[Childe Harold's Pilgrimage]]'':<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Poetical Works of Lord Byron|last=Little|first=Brown|publisher=Harvard University|year=1864|location=Cambridge|volume=4|pages=318}}</ref>
