We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Stato da Màr — The entry states that Doge Pietro II Orseolo secured recognition from Dalmatian city-states allowing him to 'briefly claim the title Duke of Dalmatia,' but the title was not officially used by Venetian doges until later and the claim was intermittent, making t
Stato da Màr — The entry uses the phrase 'three octaves' instead of 'three-eighths' when describing Venice's share of the Byzantine Empire after the Fourth Crusade.
Aegina — The earliest Aeginetan staters were silver, not electrum, and the turtle coinage is generally dated to the late 6th or early 5th century BC, not 700 BC.
Aegina — The province of Aegina was abolished in 2006, but the entry's cut-off text may imply it still exists.
Balec — The claim that Balec was first attested in the 6th century is not supported by widely-known historical sources; the first clear mention of Balec (as Balecium) is from the 11th century.
Balec — The statement that Stefan Vojislav captured Balec in the 11th century and died in 1044 is inaccurate; Stefan Vojislav died around 1043, and there is no specific evidence that he captured Balec in that exact timeframe.
Kingdom of Candia — The claim that the last Venetian outposts on Crete—Souda, Gramvousa, and Spinalonga—fell to the Turks in 1715 is inaccurate; Gramvousa fell in 1692, not 1715.
Venetian Cyprus — The claim that Venetian defenders numbered about 8,500 men against over 200,000 Ottoman troops is exaggerated; historical estimates typically place Venetian defenders at around 4,000–5,000 men and Ottoman forces at roughly 100,000–150,000.
Venetian Cyprus — The entry lists the gates as 'Kyrenia, Paphos, and Famagusta' as if they were the original Venetian names, but the original Venetian names were Porta San Domenico, Porta del Proveditore, and Porta Giuliana.
Duchy of Durazzo (Republic of Venice) — The claim that the Duchy of Durazzo was established in 1205 after a Venetian fleet captured the city is incorrect: historical records indicate that Venice gained control of Durazzo in 1205 not by conquest but through the Partitio Romaniae treaty, which assigne
Duchy of Durazzo (Republic of Venice) — The claim that Marino Vallaresso was the first Duke of Durazzo is unsubstantiated in mainstream historical sources; the known Venetian governor of Durazzo in this period was a different figure, and the title 'Duke of Durazzo' is not widely attested for a Venet
Gramvousa — The fort at Imeri Gramvousa was built between 1579 and 1584, but historical records indicate construction began in 1579 and was largely completed by 1582, not 1584.
Gramvousa — The claim that Gramvousa remained in Venetian hands after the 1669 treaty that surrendered Crete to the Ottomans is incorrect; the fortresses of Souda, Spinalonga, and Gramvousa were retained by Venice under the Treaty of Candia (1669), but Gramvousa was actua
Hydra (island) — The claim that the island's name derives from the Greek word for water, referencing its natural springs, is misleading because the island was historically known for its lack of fresh water, not abundant springs.
Hydra (island) — The claim that Herodotus records that the island belonged to Ermioni, was sold to Samos, and then ceded to Troizina is inaccurate; Herodotus only mentions it was given by the Samians to the Troezenians.
