Too many inaccuracies

The previous text contained a significant number of inaccuracies. Some these can be considered as being serious, such as the the people of Venice rebelling against the father of Pietro IV, (Pietro III) who was the doge and who was exiled, when what actually happened was the other way round., Piero IV rebelled against his father. It was the bishop of Torcello, not the bishop of Castello who was blinded and exiled and an explanation for this action was not provided. The mentioned inaccuracies are:

1) The people of Venice did not try to kill Pietro III 2) Pietro IV did not save his father’s life. Pietro IV rebelled against his father. This was thwarted by the people. It was the father who managed to save his son’s life, not the other way round. 3) Pietro IV did not exile his father.
