This paper investigates the diplomatic relations between Venice and the Ottoman sultan Mehmed I (1413-1421), focusing on the negotiations for the release of the Venetians captured during the ottoman raid in Negroponte (1414). The ransom of the captives will be analysed as a part of the flexible Venetian diplomacy, with the aim to study the original sides of this activity and its practical aspects, such as the role of the diplomatic actors and the impact of privateering
