About the same period (1380) the crown of France had passed to a minor, Charles VI. , who afterwards. Be- came mad. Italy had little to fear from abroad ; the danger sprang up in her own bosom. The republics of Venice and Genoa, on every occa- sion mutually opposed, regarded each other as rivals. The Genoese carried on a considerable commerce in Cyprus, but had excited there the resentment of the people, who in 1372 rose, and at a public festival mas- sacred all the Genoese on whom they could l...ay hands. The republic avenged this outrage committed on its ci- tizens; and in 1373 conquered the isle of Cyprus: but, using its victory with moderation, restored the island in fief to the house of Lusignan. The Venetians, not- withstanding, offered their alliance to the Cypriots, and in 1378 they, in concert, besieged the Genoese at Fa- magosta. In the many quarrels of the Venetians with Louis of Hungary, and with Francesco da Carrara, lord of Padua, they had always found the Genoese siding with their adversaries.
