Baduarius is enumerated among the descendants and allies of the
house of Justinian. A family of noble Venetians (Casa Badoero)
built churches and gave dukes to the republic as early as the
ninth century; and, if their descent be admitted, no kings in
Europe can produce a pedigree so ancient and illustrious.
