Grosso - Thomas of Campofregoso, 1st Reign

Thomas of Campofregoso seized the dogeship in 1415 after a period of factional violence that had seen Genoa pass through French royal control and back again within a generation. His first reign lasted until 1421, when the city was sold — formally, if humiliatingly — to Filippo Maria Visconti of Milan, ending his tenure not through coup or death but through a cash transaction that traded a republic's independence for relief from debt and military pressure.

The MEC XII references split between #311 and #312, indicating a die variety distinction documented within this reign's output.
