==Death==

In 973, Otto I, protector of Pietro IV, died. His successor, [[Otto II]], was busy with revolts in Germany and so the Venetians opposed to Pietro found their opportunity to depose him then. They locked him in his ducal palace and set it on fire. However, the fire spread to the [[Limitrofe]] and to [[Saint Mark's Basilica|Saint Mark's]]. Shortly, a greater part of the city was burnt. The doge and his young son by Waldrada, Pietro, were killed and their bodies thrown in the slaughterhouse, but were after recovered and respectfully buried in the church of Sant'Ilario. Waldrada survived and the succeeding doge, [[Pietro I Orseolo]], left her her inheritance in order not to irk the emperor and direct his attention to recent events and their perpetrators in Venice. Vitale, surviving son of Pietro IV, fled to [[Saxony]], where he conspired against the new doge.
