Aquileia
Aquileia was the ecclesiastical state of the patriarch in Friuli, governed from Udine. In 1337 its patriarch was Bertrand of Saint-Geniès, a Gascon jurist appointed in 1334.
Bertrand founded a university at Cividale in 1344, but Friulian nobles murdered him in 1350. Venice conquered the patriarchal lands in 1420, ending the patriarchs' temporal rule; the patriarchal see itself was suppressed in 1751.
